I deeply agree with him when he says:


Also, this "Martin Luther King" quote has been circulating lately, but I've read that the first sentence was a fabrication. Someone just added it in light of the Bin Laden situation. Regardless, I completely agree with its sentiments:

You deeply agree? Might I ask how old you are? I'm sincerely curious.

Pretty good song, and I'm not normally a big fan. (Footvol was terrible). Also Tobias tweeted that because of this song Woolridge will be able to meet Obama.

Old enough to decide that I wouldn't wish death to anyone.

Call me crazy, but I'll wish death and gladly kill anyone who wants to kill me just for living. We can't wish away people like that. I'll take a stab and say you're not far removed from college.

I'm certainly not implying that I would rather have OBL on the loose. I'm just not going to to celebrate a human being's death. I'm sure Al-Qaeda was celebrating big time after the events of 9/11. Are Americans celebrating the death of OBL any different than Al-Qaeda celebrating the deaths of 9/11? Absolutely not. There's a bold line in celebrating justice and celebrating death. Unfortunately, it seems like you don't see it. I'll take a stab and say you're not far removed from a farm.

absolutely they are different

Care to elaborate?

Why did Al-Qaeda rejoice at the death of thousands of Americans? Because they look down on disagree American culture and policy. They disagree with it so much, they were willing to do what they did. Why are people celebrating the death of OBL? Because they look down on and disagree Al-Qaeda. They don't understand AQ's motives and policies. It's no different.

Now don't act like I support OBL or anything. I was ecstatic that a a gross criminal against humanity was stripped away of his freedom. However, I do not share the joy that many are experiencing from the death of a human. Again, explain to me how AQ celebrating the deaths of Americans is any different than Americans celebrating the death of OBL please.

we celebrated the death of a mass murderer. They celebrated the mass murder of brokers and bankers. It's pretty scary you don't see a difference

Lol ok, that's all I needed to know. Thanks for being honest.

I will celebrate justice, but I will never celebrate the death of a human being.

I'm not even close to a farm, but nice try. And you still haven't answered how close to college you are, but the more you talk, the more you reveal. The idiot college kids dancing in the street celebrating Bin Laden's death were about the only ones acting like the idiot muslims in the middle east. What do you suggest we do? Lock him up and give him 3 squares for life? And there is not a bold line in celebrating justice and death. I'll be glad when every last one like him is gone. Until then, I'll be glad to see us keep killing them. If someone doesn't come after me (or my mythical farm), then I'm not worried about them. The older you get in life, the more you will realize that. Or, you will grow up to be someone who believes we can all get along if we just talk it out, rather than shoot each other. You think we should have killed the people that hijacked the planes and landed them safely? Because I would have celebrated that.

An unprovoked terrorist killing 3,000 innocent Americans is quite a bit different than killing the mastermind and leader of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history in an act of war.

I respect your opinions, but you may be missing my point. Regardless of anything that happened, rejoicing at the death of a human is hateful. To me, it doesn't matter who it is or what they ever did. I'm not going to celebrate because someone's life was taken away from them. Again, I understand where our opinions differ. I'm just trying to say that I'm very very happy that he is no longer a threat to the world. I will yell from the rooftops about that. I won't do the same solely because he's dead.

Criminal syndicates have run smoothly with thier highest in command locked up. People like this are resourceful and will find a way to communicate barring 24/7 solitary confinement and zero access to any "public" areas such as the library etc. The world is a better place because he is, quite frankly, not walking on it anymore. OBL = Subhuman IMO

Definitely agree with you. In any case, the US chalked up a victory.

You obviously didn't get the criticism over Mendenhall's tweet. It wasn't necessarily that he questioned the celebration of death, it was that he said, "we've only heard one side of the story."
bin Laden has admitted it numerous times. If you don't believe that, and you are a conspiracy theorist, why in the heck are you still here? I am so confused by those who honestly believe that 911 was orchestrated by our government, yet they still feel comfortable enough to live here.

How do you conclude that I'm a conspiracy theorist from my love of life?

You posted the entire Mendenhall tweet, and said you deeply agree with it. That tweet includes the "we only know one side of the story" line. Either you are ignorant or a conspiracy theorist. Apologies if I assumed wrong by considering you were the latter.

I don't really consider myself one, but I have no problem believing that there are some bad guys in the government. In any case, I was trying to focus more on the concept of human life in his tweet.
