Osama Bin Laden dead

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

^^thank you...I honestly felt pure and utter disgust yesterday...watching people celebrate someones death. It is just plain sick...and goes on to demonstrate further how uncivilized we really are. And the tittles in the newspapers..."justice is done" what the fuck is that all about??? its as though we are all 12 year old brain damaged children. Increasingly I wonder about the world...this cannot be it?! There must be a better place...filled with better people... selfish, short-sighted, hateful, arrogant....not the traits my parents taught to me.

Yes

evidently the world seems rather happy to let the likes of Taliban and Al Qaeda take teenagers from the poor / rural areas of Pakistan / Afghanistan / Kashmir areas, enroll them in Madrassas in order to train them to become suicide bombers so they can kill hundreds (and thousands) of innocent people (over the last decade) but heck gun down the leader of the pack and morality seems to get a helluvan erection.

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead

The guy deserves to be punished and if death it is, fine. What's disturbing is the way people are reacting to it like a spectator sport.

Two separate issues here. The death of Osama and the reactions to it.

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead

I can understand the distaste for people getting carried away and dancing at someone's death, but for those who lost loved ones and the satisfaction / sense of closure (be it misled), I can only imagine what it felt.

take them...again we are talking of symptoms rather than problems. We should re evaluate what we have done to earn such hatred that people kill themselves to kill "us" There is something awfully wrong there...and that needs to be addressed. There is always going to be lunatics...we need to make sure that people have a choice and education not to follow in their footsteps. I don't think those are the primary objectives of any conflict so far.

simple. Big Foot knew he was going to die eventually or even be hunted down by the likes of me. So he recorded several videos tapes saying that the "report that he was killed by a hunter is completely false propoganda." All he would have to do is have an associate cryptoid furnish it to the media for airing and there would be a serious doubt in people's minds that Big Foot was dead when in truth he actually was.

Post-mortis trolling, if you will.

They're willing to kill themselves to kill scores of us because of their religious zealotry. It's because we're not Muslims. It's because we've offended them by touching their soil. We've offended them by drawing cartoons and shit.

Do you honestly think that is all because of US, or because they're just batshit insane?

i dont think going to war was such a good idea especially for the british... they should of learned from their mistakes in ireland... innocent people were killed and that only fueled family members of those people to join ranks and fight against the troops...same thing is happening here

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead

also i'd like to point out that the US takes most of the slack for this because they seem to be the power behind the so called fight for world peace but in all honesty its a whole host of countries

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead

it's one of humanity's problems, and a symptom of the age we have lived in for the past several thousands of years. a consummation. some say it's humanity's 'dark night of the soul' and a time of accelerated change --- full of monolithic amounts of death and liberation

it isn't that we've earned such hatred --- hatred is a symptom really of repulsion.

devotion... idealism... religious expressions.... i think are virtues 'on the fence' that easily fall into vice. theirin lies the problem

Re: Osama Bin Laden dead

it just seems no one else notices any of these things... maybe I am the crazy one...and maybe those shrooms are not out the system yet.

Welcome to the rabbit hole, enjoy your stay.

Honestly I wish someone would point out one thing where he hasn't lied
