If that knucklehead constitutes education in this country I am happy to say we are doomed and Al Qaeda is the least of our problems.
Watching that video won't help any of these guys. They've already made the decision to believe in some nutty conspiracy theory, and nothing will change that.
there really is no point in talking subjectively with people whose sole source of news is john stewart.... i will never wish death upon anyone. i will never cheer for death. sorry cant do it, if i do that i am just as bad as them. and while i dont really even care whether or not bin laden was involved if you believe everything your govt tells you then YOU are a fool. but the general population of this country has already proven that to be true.
I bet you can't point to a single person that believes everything the government says, so the criteria in which you are attempting to criticize people with has no basis in reality to begin with and you have no basis to even discuss it, so you have no point. and I am rather confident that if someone murdered your spouse or child you would want them dead; I don't even have to know you more than the characters you type on a message board to know that is true. even if that feeling is fleeting and after deeper introspective you change your mind, I know part of you, even for just the most brief of moment, would wish them dead, thus you are no different than those you are attempting to criticize.
you know what, I always knew your head was up your ass....i just didn't know how far. Until I read this post.
Some people are such pussies that I wish death upon them as they are just as bad as any terrorist. They whine and cry and then pontificate how other people should feel about gloating over a total mass murdering scumbag getting waxed. Hey Fuck You!!!!!!!!!!! I will feel the way I feel in an unabashed euphoric fashion and there aint shit you can do about it. Thank god you have no decision making power, pussies like you can build a shrine to Neville Chamberlain and then wonder why people are happy a mass murdering dickhead got killed. However, that would only be after thousands and possibly millions of innocent people got killed in the process. I swear I would punch that pussy in his fat pussified face and you know what, I would be safe knowing they are too much of a pussy to even fight back.
That's an awfully broad stroke, and quite inapt on a board that has demonstrated a solid level of knowledge, if not civility, in the realm of politics. I'd feel just the same had he been captured. I simply wished for an end to his treachery. This stretches back well before 9/11, and I applaud the fact that he is no longer in power. It came in the form of death. I had no control over that, but why should I not have applauded ANY action that removed him from the power he held? Good luck finding anyone who believes everything the government has told them. Good luck finding anyone to argue with a straight face that Bush has been honest. This is not a question of overall honesty in government; it's a question of transparency on a sole matter. While we don't have full transparency, we are at least fairly certain of what happened that day. I've seen the Zeitgeist movie, which compiled alternative theories, and researched its source list. It wasn't simply unconvincing, it was debunked and disproven on every level. So, I ask you, who is ignorant? Those who swallowed the conspiracy theories whole because they found them appealing, or those who sought truth and took the time to delve into it and draw logical conclusions? It's easy to simply decide not to trust someone because it's convenient or appealing. It's much harder to educate yourself to the point at which your opinion is logical and well founded.
SHEEP: "If the weatherman says it will rain, then it will rain." SKEPTIC: "If the weatherman says it will rain, then it will rain or it will not rain." CONSPIRACY THEORIST: "If the weatherman says it will rain, then it will not rain." RASHARD MENDENHALL: "@R_Mendenhall I'm not convinced it ever even rains we really have no evidence to prove it other than the weatherman telling us"
Hey not to change the subject but there was money on you and Steve850 being shacked up together doing meth and blowing one another .............. welcome back.
I'm sure you spend most of your time listening to Glenn Beck. So if someone were to murder your family, you wouldn't want that person to pay the ultimate price? "Your" government? What are you, Canadian?
Not looking for a debate, but in this example, Mendenhall would basically be saying the same as the Skeptic line.
Who wouldn't? That doesn't justify murder though, It never will. It is wrong no matter how you look at it. Would I look to kill someone that murdered someone I loved more then anything on this earth? Yeah, I would. It's not something that I would ever WANT to do, it would be something that I would feel compelled to do. Regardless of how wrong it truly is. I know a lot of families were put into this frame of mind after 9/11. A lot of people are rejoicing just because they can. Which I don't agree with either. Would I celebrate after the fact? No. I would have to live with that for the rest of my life, two burdens to bare, with only one true outcome. Misery. This is only my opinion, it's against my belief's. Even though, I can completely understand the other side of it as well. In no way am I judging, just expressing.
your confusing two separate issues -- wanting the dead and being glad if they were killed by someone else, and killing them yourself. not being the type to kill someone yourself in no way prevents you from being overjoyed if someone else does the deed for you with no participation on your part whatsoever. but even beyond a premeditated killing, what if someone who murdered your family, and who you emotionally would like dead but wouldn't kill yourself, walked drunk in front of a train and was killed? now there is no murder involved what so ever. you are saying you wouldn't be pleased they are dead?
It never ceases to amaze me how confident people are in their ability to predict their feelings in response to the most extreme of situations.
this is a hypothetical that anyone with any semblance of reason could grasp and thus project. it is hardly an extreme scenario, it is one that forces the person to inject himself into the dynamics of the current scenario that is discussed -- the death of someone who murders someone close to you, which is the farthest thing from extreme when discussing Osama Bin Laden and thus relevant to the discussion. of course, it never ceases to amaze me your inability to grasp such simple premises.
