Blackout

Chinese coal miner finishing his shift.

I wonder what the inside of his lungs looks like.

It will be a tiny gas bill for the cremation.

[Skybird]

Yes, cigarettes cause misery.

Im pretty sure coaldust is more destructive on his lungs than smoking.

You're sure of that? :hmm:

Warning, Spoiler Alert:

The public is hereby informed that in previous two statements by Letum and Skybird, a substantial overdose of black humour was used.

Spoiler Alert off.

Take it easy. The pic looks hilarious, and that's all it is about. Let'S don't turn this into another drama.

No intention to turn it into a drama, just said what i thought of the mater but im pretty sure there will be someone along quickly to blame the Us for his blackened lungs.

Edit: Personaly i dont find that image particularly funny.

After the past days, can't we finally get over this as well? Yes - there will be future talking about the US, and other nations as well. And yes - some will voice criticism of this and that being done in or by these countries. In past threads of the past months I posted about the US. Britain. Germany. Poland. China. Russia. Afghanistan. Sometimes for funny things, sometimes criticising, but never "bashing" anyone.

But criticism, if meant and conducted in a constructive manner, does not automatically translate into "countryXYZ-bashing". That is a differences that some people in the past days proved not to be aware of, made ridicule of, and wanting to prevent any critcism at all by brandmarking all critical opinions as "bashing".

And I would say that after the past days and some certain threads it is high time that these bad manners finally get changed. And knowing from PMs of the past days, I am not alone with that assessment.

So: please.

Skybird, well said and yes you are not alone. I think that the moderators (Neal and Tak), thankfully have dealt with this problem that you mentioned in your previous post and in the correct manner.

On this topic, no way in the world would I want to be a miner. We might be in the 21st century but it is still one occupation that comes with high risks. Hence I have a great deal of respect for those who work in this profession.
