Thanks for posting this thread. Yes, it makes me cry, but closure is long and painful a process and I would be far more worried if even a grown man like me couldn't. Columbia and her crew are profoundly grieved for.

The debris is all that is left on this side of realities coin. On it's other side, the shooting star Columbia vanished into had this proud bird and crew land and disembark in a place all mortals eventually go.

Someday, with their memory and spirit still intact and inspiring us all everywhere, another bird will bear the name Columbia. For that matter, there will be another Challenger.

They will also be space ships cutting paths in the frontier of space.

The best part of the human spirit and the vessels created by the human hand guided by it is immutably immortal.

Never forget that, never.

I personally feel that it is not appropriate. Just me personally. I don't need to see the pictures to understand what happened. I didn't need to view the Pearl video either to know what happened.

This was a huge catastrophy and I am and continue to be amazed at how much of the Columbia has been found. And the crew as well. I would have thought it would have been totally vaporized from the heat. It is an odd sort of miracle that so much has been found. I am glad the crew has been found as well for the sake of their families.

Are you going to be consistent and call him names for actually posting pictures you don't approve of after calling me nasty names for just saying I don't see a problem with it and not even actually doing it? Or is it just me you like to publicly harrass.

[Son of Rooster]

One. I haven't visited his homepage.
Two. It's his perogitive to do it.
Three. I stated that I don't think it is appropriate. Once again see One.
Four. I didn't call you a nasty name, if he did, hit the abuse button. Any one who disagrees with you gets reported anyhow.
Five. The pictures will probably be posted eventually anyhow, see three.
Once again, you've got the feathers ruffled because you read into what you want to read...then head off the deep end.
I could continue, but I got to go to work.
BTW, really like how you've modified your profile page. It leaves the illusion that you don't have any leftist/liberal leanings. Nice mask your wearing. Have a good day Sungirl.

1. I could of sworn you wrote this to me for pointing out that we see Kennedy's brains in the media....hmmm

To: Sungirl
Your compassion is touching. I bet you've got posters of the Scumbags in Somallia dragging the dead Special Forces through the streets also.
Situational Awareness isn't your strong point. More amazing is the lack of respect for the dead or their families.

2. Figures you would run from others posters....

3. I didn't start this abuse button pushing....your friend showed started doing it in previous threads...and I followed suit in this thread.

4. Being against animal CRUELTY is leftist? That mean you're all for it?

5. You guys are something else...LOL!

4. Being against animal CRUELTY is leftist?

NOpe, but you're against killing animals, be it for hunting, damage control, whatever. And you condone abortion. That to me represents a really twisted illogic quite representative of the religious Left.

[Terriergal]

I think my problem was the crass insensitive way that you spoke about it and shrugged it off as no big deal:

I can't understand why anyone would object to pictures of the space shuttle parts OR even body parts. I have been seeing pictures of John Kennedys brains for years

Even the posters of the pictures understood why people would object, and used a disclaimer. Instead, you belittle it.

When it comes to animals, I am perfectly fine with not forcing people to witness the field dressing of a deer, or watch an animal being taken, if it bothers them. However there is a big difference here. One victim is animal, the other is human. Which one warrants more sensitivity and respect to be shown?

[Terriergal]

3. I didn't start this abuse button pushing....

Well we can only take your word for it... (cough cough cough...)

I have saved all the abusive posts Sungirl made to me, for anyone that wants to know. It's awfully enlightening.

[Sungirl]

I'm not against killing animals! I eat them for God's sake. I think you know that...but you're just looking for drama or reaction.
Also, I feel the same way about abortion that Laura Bush feels. Look it up.

[Son of Rooster]

LOL...running from other posters.
how can I run when I have ever disagreed or gave an opinion.
Shift the subject away to blame someone else

Well if you can make a blanket statement like that you seem to have changed your tune quite a bit from the first time we met.

Laura Bush isn't president, nor does she spend her time bashing hunters.
