More refugees have become Jihadi terrorists than have become A-list celebrities. Just saying.

Mila Kunis.... .such a carnal name

I had a quick read, but it seems to me that they were all 'legal' refugees and went through 'due process' (they did not illegally climb over fences or arrrive in a boat).

 

 

Hmm Verry Impressive

And the vast majority of refugees have become neither.

 

They have remained what they were...........ordinary, but traumatised, people.

 

I will also "just say" that (in case you hadn't noticed that I had "just said" it).

 

Although you can tell that I had "just said" it because the words are on the page for you to read.

 

They are the words that you read "just" before I told you that I had "just said" them.

 

All clear now?

Communicating by text only gives a person less latitude in inferring tone. More than 50% of human communication is non verbal, some say more than 90%. So occasionally using colloquial clues and even emojis can be an effective way to more accurately communicate in text form.

 

For example you could have used a grumpy face at the end of your longish retort.
