I guess you've never had large area third degree burns then. NOTHING rivals that pain.
Then there are the skin grafts and "donor sites" (a nice way of saying "where the doctor shears off the top layer of your GOOD skin to use for grafts to repair the burns").
That almost hurts worse, since THOSE nerves are all intact, unlike the burned areas where the nerves are dead.

I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

Wow. Chemical burns can be worse than thermal burns. If I may ask, where (what area(s)) did you get burned and how much area?
My burns were third degree and classed as "20%" (of body area).
Although the area didn't literally add up to "20%", they have a chart that assigns "importance" of different areas. A burn of an actual 10% in one area could be called "10%" or maybe "20%" in a more "important" area.
Both my hands from about 6 inches above the wrist to the fingers were burned and both my legs from the knees down to the ankle (my shoes stopped the rest).
My left hand got it worse. All the skin and subcutaneous stuff was burned away and I could see the tendons under the ligament wrapping. It looked like the Terminator when I moved my fingers.
I was in the hospital one month and had two surgeries for skin grafts.
The doctor initially wasn't sure if he could even save my left hand, but as it turns out he's a wizard.
You can barely even SEE the skin grafts, I have full feeling in both hands and everything works. Thank you Dr. Flynn!

True enough, but the point is; Palestinians are Muslims, they are also terrorists. They strap bombs on children and send them into bus stops and street markets. They sign peace agreements and immediately start launching rockets at schools and residential areas. Backing Palestine is a bad idea.
Let me switch gears a bit, have you ever read Samuel Clemons description of Palestine as he toured the area? Its an eye opener. Then there are Churchill's musings on the Palestinians.....
