Osama Bin Laden - DEAD

[Hiro]

It's just rather 'meh'

yeah exactly, me too.

I don't understand people flipping out on Facebook about it.

I'm not flipping out about it, but I don't understand how you can't understand why anyone would make a big deal about it. And it's facebook, people will post about anything regardless of its importance.

Why are they taking up air time to report on this? I could just find out online

can't the same be said about any other news story?

We are still in Afghanistan and Iraq, we still have other big issues to worry about.

Well no shit, nobody's saying the wars are over.
The point of the story is that we've been looking for him for a long time, and now we've found him and he's dead.
Just calm down, echo. 

[Bushy]

Because.

You're celebrating the death of someone just like we are shown that members of Al Queda and the like are shown to celebrate the death of Americans.

There is outrage if someone in a middle eastern country praises them for 9/11 or something like that. Why shouldn't the same outrage be turned back?

I seriously don't care what he did, celebrating death in itself is wrong. For a patriotic reason doesn't make it cool. It is still stupid.

I realize you have no sympathy towards him. That's cool. BI understand you have a moral problem with celebrating death. Still cool.

However, celebrating death in a patriotic light should at least MAKE SENSE. To you?

If by make sense you mean I think that patriotism makes people do stupid things then sure?

I frankly don't think patriotism should effect your thought processes on something like this.

What is the point of making Hitler or Saddam a sympathetic character?

Irrelevant. Sympathy was never expressed.

"A THREAT TO MY LIVELIHOOD AND SAFE WAY OF LIVING IS GONE? THANK YOU AMERICA",

The threat is not gone, as Al Qaeda still exists. Prove me wrong.

[don't let's]

What is the point of making Hitler or Saddam a sympathetic character?It'll be in the papers.

And I'm sure it's less of "FUCK YES A MAN IS DEAD" and more "A THREAT TO MY LIVELIHOOD AND SAFE WAY OF LIVING IS GONE? THANK YOU AMERICA", you all are reading too much into it, why wouldn't you be justified in celebrating, especially if you were apart of the 9/11 disaster which pretty much every one has a "where you were on 9/11" story? It's mildly like after WW2, all those pictures of people celebrating in the streets and stuff, completely ok. I know I'm wearing Red/White/Blue to support my country tomorrow.

I doubt that. This is the internet after all. Most people are probably just celebrating because all their friends are and they're just going along with the crowd.

Sure there may be those that were directly affected by 9/11 in that they were in or very near to one of the attacks or they lost family or friends, and they may be celebrating for a different reason. But most everybody else who's celebrating? I really doubt it.

[Andria]

The threat is not gone, as Al Qaeda still exists. Prove me wrong.

The threat isn't gone, and we've spent the past years just breeding generations of children who lost a family member because of "collateral damage"

so they will have plenty to recruit from

I don't get how yall can be like,"lol oh well doesnt matter if he's dead" he was the Al Qaeda leader, it's founder, Al Qaeda responsible for torment EVERYWHERE to THOUSANDS, including you know that big event that happened on September 11th 2001? Yeah that happened on American soil, where you live, where your families live, and they had bigger plans. Now their leader is dead, its only a matter of time for the dominoes to topple. Of course this isnt going to happen over night, but it's happening, be happy, no reason to be so melancholic like this is a waste of time, this has been a decade in progress.

[Andria]

haha hahah

you think that killing him is going to topple the organization?

They are basically set up where they don't NEED bin laden....

The leader is only one man of a huge massive organization, and at this point he was boarder line figurehead.

They can easily find another leader.

[musica.cards]

it's founder

So who's next in the chain of command? Prove to us that Al Qaeda's gone.

How many people died that day, vs. how many were on that flight?

[Andria]

They can easily find another leader.

Yea.

I am sure they have a contingency plan already set up since you know we were spending all that money looking for a single guy.

[YPrrrr]

I don't think everyone has one of these stories, especially if not from the East Coast... I went home and watched it on the news, but I don't think that constitutes a 'story.'

Also there's no one celebrating out in the streets because it's much less relevant than anything like the end of WWII. Honestly for all we know they'll just use him as a martyr to plan some attack in his honor... It's like saying the death of Kim Il-Sung would end the problem of North Korea
