Bin Laden Dead

[trekgeezer]

He finally got what he deserved,  you all can think what you may, but bin laden's death brings closure to a lot of the relatives of those  who died on 9/11.

You wouldn't find me jumping for joy at his death, but if he were alive and prison it would cause constant unrest until he died even of natural causes. 

They did give him a proper muslim burial, and they did it at sea to keep any of his followers from building a shrine at his burial place.

Ask your grandparents how they felt when Hitler bit the dust, Doggett. 
It's very similar for us today.

I think the winning or the war was the relief. And I'm not too sure this is it. In fact, it could even get worse. I would've prefered Bin Laden to have waved the white flag or something. Anything to encourage extremists to think about or change their ways.

I still feel very uncomfortable about all this.

I can never be happy about a person's death.

Im with Dogget on this one. I'm also genuinley creeped out about how much people are getting off to the death of a human being. Did he do terrible things? sure. Does his death FIX any of those terrible things? No. This just shows that humanity has made no progress whatsoever and are still the blood-thirsty "eye for an eye" race that theyve been since the day man first existed. I'm actually scared, guys.

I passed the Toronto Sun box on my way to the post office earlier today and, true to form, they have a pic of Bin Laden on the front page, with the headline "ROT IN HELL!" in bold letters three or four inches high. Always sensational and utterly tasteless. Gotta love the Sun.

For the record, I don't believe in an eye for an eye.  I belive in two eyes for one eye much like Bas Rutten once said.   I will celebrate this man's death and the death of all others like him.

Did anybody else notice that ALL of Dr. Strangelove's postings in this thread have been deleted?  A habit he had under other names: stir everybody up (even those who might agree with him) and then delete his posts.  It's cowardly.


Doggett: you can see in my second posting in this thread that I don't think celebrating death is something I enjoy or approve of either.  But if I said I felt sorry for OSAMA BIN ASKIN FOR IT... I'd be lying.  I am not sorry for that murderous megalomaniac.  Good riddance! 

Not just deleted.  He seems to have gone to Guest status.

This was action by me.  I banned the account and deleted all posts that were not topic starters.  The only reason for not deleting all of his posts is to keep from entirely removing topics.

Cool... I read the news early today... so we finally got him. It's about damn time. Hooah!

[indianasmith]

Great comments from everyone.
I believe in justice, ultimately.  While his death does not "fix" anything, it is a matter of enormous symbolism for both sides in this ongoing war.  And it was just.  There are some crimes so horrific that the life of the criminal is the only balanced and symmetrical response to the enormity of their crime.
And, the quick burial at sea prevents his gravesite from becoming a shrine . . . although frankly, I would rather see him buried beneath a urinal in Central Park.

But, since I believe in a just God, I have no doubt that bin Laden is enjoying new accommodations that are also just and fair in proportion to the life he lived at the moment.

Which is, I think, what THE SUN expressed, albeit a bit more crudely.

And Andrew, thanks very much.  That guy was poison.

This day. as controversial as it is, is also a day of closure.

Those of America's Armed Forces, and our Allies who gave their lives alongside them can truly Rest In Peace, knowing that your mission has finally been accomplished.

And to the 9\11 victims, and all people who either died in, or survived every attack since 9\11, may you also find your closure, be you still with us on Earth or among the stars with your fellow victims.  Rest now, gentle souls.


And finally, I raise my glass to Bin Laden:

May the 72 Virgin Brides you've been rewarded with actually be a bunch of guys, and may you spend your eternity getting butt-fu*ked by them over and over again, with a pack of camels taking over for them every now and then.

Enjoy hell, motherfu*ker

In this instance, apparently Dr. Strangelove did not delete his posts in this thread.  I was wrong, as it was a necessary action by the webmaster.  I must apologize to the banned individual's memory since I did say he was "cowardly" here.  Well, he wasn't cowardly here... but elsewhere?  Well, the trail is there for any interested party, though it's now cold.  This individual deceived all of us, sadly.  There were real contributions to be made by this former member.  I think it's sad as I liked... not BarackClinton, but that first fellow. 

[indianasmith]

I'm stumped.  What "former member" do you think was masquerading as Barack Clinton, and then Dr. Strangelove?

Please tell me it wasn't CHEEZEFLIX!!

[RCMerchant]

Dumped him in the ocean,eh? Shoulda flushed him down the toilet. Piece of sh1t excuse for a human being. Good riddance to bad garbage.

I just hope some poor shark didn't eat him...might make the shark sick.

I'm confused as well.  Sounds interesting, but I always seem to miss out on the good controversies

And now that the biggest game of all has been bagged and tagged, the White House wants us to go on their "word" that Bin Laden is actually dead. 

Personally, I feel they should show them. 

Sure, the hatred coming from the Middle East and Pakistan at this time ( and the amount of controversy arising from his killing) is some proof that it's true, but some visual confirmation would be nice too.   Sometimes word is not enough.

But the feeling is is that doing so would incite more anger and all that stuff, so apparently we'll never get to see it. Seems the White House more interested in keeping Al Qaeda and The Taliban pacified than proving his word to the American people.
