[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Not to be decapitated and have it shown on television, I would assume. I also question your definition of "commonplace". Unless you think that the family of people killed in car crashes over here shouldn't be surprised because such instances are "commonplace". The Princess Diana sitaution was an example of the country being stupidly hysterical and showing forced mourning. The papers (and the people) were slagging her off the day before she was killed, and then the day after they (and the people) were proclaiming her to be a saint. Ken Bigley was an ordinary man working over there who was captured by extremists. His messages/pleas home were shown on TV for all to see. His families messages to the terrorists and Blair were also broadcast. Not getting emotionally involved was not easy. Even after his death, the reaction was a subdued, respectful mourning, not the flag waving, glitzy, Elton John-soundtrack affair that was Diana's death. Still, if you can't see the difference between being ordered for execution and having your head cut off, and being killed in a car crash because you weren't wearing your seat belt, I don't know what to tell you.
