MichaelWeston Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Great news. Still a bit creeped out by the people gathering to cheer his death. Not that he died at all but that people were cheering like its a football game. Wierd stuff. Had an American dignitary been killed and people were cheering in the middle east I would say it was awful. Clearly there is a vast difference between a mass murderer of many and some fictional american dignitary but it just seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not seem like a time of celebration. It seems more like a time of relief to me. We did not win a football game and thats what the atmosphere feels like.

[/quote] I don't think the two equate. But I am admittedly biased. And you're entitled to feel like it should be a time of relief instead of celebration. Just like some deal with grief differently, others deal with other things differently. Obvioulsy many, many others disgaree with you. But there is nothing weird or odd about it.

CTBengalsFan Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 It's base tribalism on full display - and it's not a pretty sight IMO. Funny cuz the same people cried about others celebrating 9/11. I'm not religious in the slightest, but this guy gets it right IMO: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-raushenbush/celebrating-a-death_b_856124.html [quote]But I have to be careful in my celebrations of bin Laden's death. I was a chaplain at Columbia University during September 11, 2001. Two days after the attacks, some of my students put on an art exhibit in response called Peace Kitchen. In one piece a student had put a film of bin Laden's face over a mirror so we saw our own face staring back at us through his. The point was not that there was equivalency between Bin Laden and us, but to acknowledge that evil is not something that only exists outside of us that we can point to and kill once and for all. Evil doesn't work like that. All humans have the potential for grace, but we also all have the potential to sin and do evil. It is a tempting yet dangerous practice to look around the world for evil people and target them. That is just what Osama Bin Laden thought he was doing. We must be vigilant that we do not become what we despise. We must be careful in the way we use religion and the name of God to further our own causes or to ever manipulate people into hate or hate.[/quote] And yeah, the dumping the body at sea has my conspiracy spidey-sense tingling. No independent verification of the body. Nice. Let's just take their word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
