stupid ass fucks celebrating the death of another, have you so little decency left, if any at all?

I'm glad hes dead, mainly so there can't be any repeat offenses, but running in the streets with a big grin is a bit much.

You can be happy and relived that an evil person has died, but you don't run through the streets shouting about it. This is why people get attacked, I bet the videos of people celebrating Osama's death have incited more hatred against the USA and the West than Osama did in recent years.

The belief that the US monopoly on world resources is somehow twisted and denies people in their own countries the benefit of their rightful claim isn't flawed. I'd say that in his view, by being participants in the wasteful capitalist agenda they were (perhaps to a degree unwittingly) earning their fate. Of course I don't believe that what he did was right in any possible way and it was an atrocity, but I still think that celebrating a death, regardless of how much worth you deem it has, is a sick thing to do and really undermines any possible claim for humanity that you're trying to make. - not feeling too articulate or sober, I'll revise this if it is incomprehensible.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;29717274]Hows the weather up there on that moral high ground?[/QUOTE] If anything it should be the culmination of a search and closure for families, not a celebration of the death of someone who caused grief to people. I can appreciate that persons of the USA have a personal attachment to the feeling of relief in bin Laden's death but that shouldn't detach them from their humanity (the reason why bin Laden supposedly deserved death in the first place).

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29711807] The fact that this is a response to someone's death is absolutely sickening[/QUOTE] You make it sound like they were cheering for just anyone's death. It was Osama, who was responsible for thousands of deaths, he was evil, and people have been waiting to get back at him for years, and it finally happened, so normally people are happy that it's finally over.

I love the double standard, it's gross and inhumane if THEY celebrate death, but this guy DESERVED to die because that's OUR perspective and OUR perspective is RIGHT. Bullshit. Death is death, and it's not like killing him did that much good. If anything, we pissed them off, motivated them, and probably made it possible for someone younger and stronger to take over. It's sickening to celebrate it, and it's pointless, because we took out one pawn in a larger game.

everyone is an idiot for one reason or another

Personally, I didn't celebrate. If I had been personally affected by this, and had known someone that died on 9/11, there's no doubt in my mind that I would be outside the white house lawn celebrating.

America is so fucked in the head.

Here's my take on it: Did you celebrate in some way the death of this man [img]http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/168/emperorpalpatine.jpg[/img] along with the Rebel Alliance? If so, stop complaining about people celebrating Bin Laden's death. (And yes, I know Palpatine is a fictional character, but he's still a cultural icon.)

He has two shadows because it makes a V for victory as he walks away. It's a subliminal message from President Badass Swagger Dude as he calls it a night.
