One of the worst photographs iv ever seen, I'm normally pretty unmoved by shocking imagery from Syria/Isis etc. But the photo in this Independent article is harrowing.

Haunting picture. Can't really think of anything to say that wouldn't appear fatuous. So I'll keep my mouth shut,and trail off to bed with a heavy heart.

An absolutely shocking image. Europe and the West need to get a grip because this tragic situation is only going to get worse.

I've been trying to come up with something worthwhile to say for three hours now since I looked at that image.

But I can't.

It speaks for itself.

What about Saudi and Russia?

i'm confused now, is it just 216 or 216 k?

Guest · **231** Re: Be more German Thu Sep 03 2015, 13:00

Why have you added a K to 216?

Just fat fingered it? Why what's your problem?

I'm not allowed to ask why you changed the meaning of my post?

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

ah, hence my confusion *Touch paper lit..............backs out of the room slowly*

I fat fingered it, that's the reason.
Good to see you're churning inside nicely today!!!

No need to panic, we were both just asking why you felt the need to change it.

But obviously it was just a really convenient slip of the finger, I'm sure you weren't trying to be clever at all.

The numbers were taken from a tweet I saw anyway. Hence no information on Russia and Saudi. I wouldn't be surprised if those figures weren't available to be honest.

I just don't get why you are like this with each other?

disagreeing etc with one another is all part of debating which is fine, I just don't get why you both give each other digs all the time and seems pointless to me.

I bet you would get on like a house on fire (in a good way!) in real life! Very Happy
