I extend my deepest sympathies towards Miltiades and his family. Iris, by all accounts, has enjoyed a good life and was gifted with beautiful and loving children and grand children.

Indeed, Miltiades in his quest for sympathy from strangers, at this unfortunate time, could spend as much time with Iris as possible, looking into her eyes and reminding her how much she means to him, the children and grand children. He could also reflect upon the fortunate lives they have both led, and he himself would do well to sympathise with all those millions of innocent human beings around the world that have been less fortunate than him, including those millions that have had their lives violently snuffed out from the 'hellfire descending from the skies', killing innocent men, women and children. Miltiades in turn could offer some of the sympathy he himself seeks, towards the millions of Palestinian "savages" that have been tormented, killed, raped, bombed and embargoed to the point of suffocation, and to also realise that an innocent life taken from terrorists attacks in New York, Bali, India, London or Madrid does not justify the slaughter of thousands, if not millions, of innocent "savages" in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Palestine, for their lives are worth just as much as ours in the "civilised" west.....

Miltiades, I wish you strength and also hope you would do the same to your less fortunate fellow humans who have only known suffering, and tyranny from your very idols.

Best wishes to you and yours Miltiades.

In sending genuine humanitarian best wishes any past differences (political, personal, whatever......) are irrelevant. This should not be a thread for point-scoring or disagreement (IMHO). After all, the CF is a community (of sorts!) within humankind, and any civilised community provides appropriate support to it's members when needed.

Regards,
T.

Well said, Talisker. You managed to say exactly what I wanted to, but far more civilly than I could have.

Miltiades, the majority of us are saddened and supportive. I am so sorry you and your wife must go through this.

Support comes in many guises.

I for one hate gushing sentiment and prefer reflective questioning of Man's purpose ....

In the absence of Miltiades, I think we should cease this morbidity and instead hope that Iris lives a long and happy life after making a dramatic recovery.

I hope ...

Damn this disease. The world is spending too much on military arms and not enough on cancer research.

Cheers to you, baby! Incredible donation, all the more so from one of your young years.

Very sad news from Miltiades. I wish to him and his family strength in these difficult times.

Those that have nothing good to say in this thread should say nothing. I remind you that this is the "General Chat" and that you should leave politics out of this section. This is neither the right time nor the right place to criticize Miltiades regarding his political views. You have done so in relevant threads in the past and when Miltiades is back you will have the chance to debate with him again.

Good post Admin.
