Makes sense to me. car crashes are not fun. When I hear an ambulance, I try and follow it ;-)) > >When I received my 31 limited the terror attack happened in the view >distance from my office.

I personally draw the line there - I do not wish to work in such circumstances, mainly because my family object, and I would not want to put them through high anxiety etc. I'm not mad keen on body parts - I saw a severed human head on a web site once (suicide bomber) and I felt pretty sick - the image stayed with me a long time. However I enjoy working in operating theatres and the insides of human beings fascinates me. As the Americans say: 'go figure!'. > >What I am trying to say is that I consider your point of view >perfectly valid although I wouldn't dare take this kind of shot >myself. And that echoes my original statement of: >> Personally I don't think morality is an issue. I think it's about >> personal comfort and the law. However, just because *I* don't think morality is an issue (in cases like this), doesn't mean that it's *not*. I fully respect another's view that it can be an issue. I simply offer my point of view if for no other reason than to show how bad things can get ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
