There are some sad and peculiar ironies that I've thought about this week.

The popes apology.

Im making no personal comment here, nor judgement, just scratching my chin at it -
The pope is a naughty boy and says some bad things (that he'd quoted from someone else). Not nice, little bit lacking in tact and compassion, especially from the infallible one, and not really appropriate.
Theres understandably outcry at making such comments and sounding ignorant.
Yet how did this outcry manifest itself? Violent and angry protests, burning of churches, and the alleged connection to the shooting of a nun. Its understandable that huge offence would be taken, and shouldnt be left with no response. A shame that some chose the wrong way to express that.

Sadly ironic.

(Please note, Im in no way condoning or taking sides)

Thailands Martial Law

The international symbol of peace and freedom is the white dove.
The sound it makes is a 'coo'

The same phonetic pronunciation applies to 'coup', as in military coup. As in an overthrow of power. A forced disposition so a regime can take control by whatever means necessary. Thus derailing the peace.
