Sorry, I killfiled you before I read the rest of your drivel. Idiot.


In other words, she can't handle an opposing opinion, couldn't think of a
way to argue like an adult, so she stuck her fingers in her ears and
resorted to name calling.

Whatever. I'm an idiot. With a degree in journalism and a passion for
aviation. I couldn't possibly have a little perspective on this issue. I
must just be an idiot because I disagree with her.

No skin off my back at all. I prefer to associate with mature adults.

That's not true or you wouldn't be participating in usenet. :-)

I think the word the report was searching for, really, was "obliterated."

Well, at least they didn't say "completely destroyed" or "partially
destroyed."

(Things are either destroyed or they're not. Otherwise, they might be
nearly-destroyed, heavily damaged, etc., but you still hear the media mangle
that one up.)

For perspective, somebody died in the Sandy River again yesterday. I
mentioned to my wife that this old man augured his jet and died doing
something he loved after living a long, successful life.

I seriously doubt he loved losing control, knowing he was going to crash
and that his life was about to end.

If you want to split hairs over semantics, you just want to be obtuse or you
truly, absolutely don't know what the hell I'm talking about, please start
the discussion so people NOT following the thread can ridicule you too. If
you just need a clue, let me explain:

He died doing something he loved doing, which was flying his airplane. If
you truly don't understand that, I question your presence in this forum.

Gee, thanks for letting that slip though.

Degree in journalism? That explains a lot.

of smoke to extend thousands of feet into the air.

Oh, stop being so melodramatic. "a small fraction of a mile".

I'd rather do what I love doing, and not die until the next evening,
when I'm asleep.

What? That he knows what he's talking about?

While you, OTOH, are freaking out over a synonym?

Absurd.

Now you've gone and confused the whole issue! Did it "Slam" into the
house,
or did it "Smash" into the house?

Well, if you don't care how aviation is portrayed in the media, then be
my guest - be ok with it. I'm NOT ok with it.
