Fuck you, it's another Osama thread.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Sometimes, I am amazed at the absolute commitment of people to downplay and bury every single thing that causes the gut reaction instinct to feel good about something.

Actually, I was on board til I realized you called Cain a "blowhard".

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh, so you're saying that people whose automatic gut reaction to Bin Laden's death was apprehension, along the lines of "Shit went down, what's going to happen now", are wrong? Or that they don't exist?

Or that those of us who are wary that the energy of jubilation over his death will be too easily transmogrified into domestic terrorism in the form of attacks on Muslims in the US? Or that it will escalate a rift between American Muslims and Christians?

Yeah, I guess that if my first emotion was apprehension, I'm not really American. And HOW DARE anyone talk about it and risk dampening the joy of the people dancing in the street.

[LMNO]

I must be a BadAmerican™ because my first thought was "Too Little, Too Late." 

[tyrannosaurus vex]

No.

In fact, I never mentioned Cain and in fact he was the farthest thing from my mind when I said it. It was referring to the shit that get said on TV in a similar vain. I know Cain isn't a blowhard. This will not serve to discourage anyone from assuming they know what was in my head better than I do, of course.

But my point still stands, which originally garnered a BOO YAH from the good Reverend until he found a reason to take issue with it, that people shouldn't get all intellectual about it, just because there are valid intellectual concerns, to the point of forfeiting what feeling of victory they might, however temporarily or illogically, feel in connection to this event.

[LMNO]

Ah.  I see.  Stop thinking, and revel in the vengance.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Ah.  I see.  Stop thinking, and revel in the vengance.

What have they DONE to you, LMNO?

[tyrannosaurus vex]

Of course it's too little, too late. Everything would be too little too late, including a precise excision of every last extremist of every kind from the human gene pool. Nothing can erase what has happened, in this country or in any other country as a result of it. It's all too little, too late. It's a big festering sore and nobody's doing anything to clean it out, I got it.

All I am saying is, fuck yeah, that asshole deserved it.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

No.

1.  Pretty sure Cain's pretty upset about it.  Maybe you should explain that to him.

2.  I'm glad he's dead.  That's no excuse for not thinking, though.

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

Any victory I felt was so overshadowed by other thoughts.  I still feel this is a smoke screen, I'm just not sure what it could be screening.  I know this is not a popular opinion, but I honestly am racking my brains on why they took so long.  I have never said I'm not glad he's dead because I am. 

I'm also very bothered by the muslim bashing which we are already seeing but which will, I feel, escalate and end up being a very bad thing.  

Not to mention, as Roger has said elsewhere, we can expect an attempt at some type of major destructive event to happen within the next 90 days.  They almost have to retaliate, someone has to step to the front as a leader now that Bin Laden is dead.

I agree with this sentiment.

Killing some asshole won't change anything, except there's now one less asshole. I can enjoy that. Is Obama obviously spinning this for his own gain? Of course. Will some Americans act like ass hats, of course. Will terrorists use it as another excuse to do bad shit? Sure.

However, the US had the choice of going in to get him, or leaving him to continue whatever the hell he was doing. Out of the two options, I approve of the former.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I know this is not a popular opinion, but I honestly am racking my brains on why they took so long.

Because he's one man out of 700 Bn?  They STILL haven't found DB Cooper or the Zodiac killer.

My guess is they'll rush it and fuck it up.

[LMNO]

Ah.  I see.  Stop thinking, and revel in the vengance.

What have they DONE to you, LMNO?

It was the first half that concerns me more.  To ignore everything except the body in the arena.  To disregard the waste of life, the desecration of liberty, and the massive debts that led us to the killing of one man.  To feel that shooting him in the head is a proper definition of "justice".  To wallow in his death which, as far as most of the discussions on this board indicate, he simply ceases to exist, no eternal hellfires or final judgements.



Damn.  I told myself I wasn't going to go there, on behalf of those personally affected by WTC.  Which is why I backed off yesterday.  

Sorry, everyone.

No I meant if they've known he was there for damn near a year now......

And yes, I agree, they are going to rush it and make a huge mess of the whole thing.  Which is actually a good thing.

It was the way you spelled "vengeance" that concerns me.  you've been hanging out with those MBAs too much.
