mcm1610 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Nothing has changed, the same thing happens when one single man dies. nothing, we're still in Afghanistan, we still fought a pointless war in Iraq. Old men still send young men to their deaths. its a story as old as time.\a bad man is dead. nothing more. nothing less. Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out...and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel. ..And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man"--with his mouth. Mark Twain I saw video of Amazonian monkeys gearing up for war, so we're not the ONLY ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who've worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.

The President is always aware of what his Special OPS is doing. Nixon knews his OPS were in on Allende in Chile, Carter with his OPS in Afghanistan, Reagan with his OPS in Nicaragua and Central America, Bush I and his OPS in both Panama and the Middle East...etc etc. With that said its not wrong to celebrate Bin Laden's death and he was a piece of shit responsible for the murders of many including Muslims, but I'm not celebrating because I find the circumstances surrounding his death and burial strange. He got what he deserved, but a "War on Terror" is still a sham. This is the start of something darker... Trying to strike a balance here but think about it.

Guest Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/40-incredibly-dumb-facebook-reactions-to-osama-bin anyone else thinking we're even more likely to face reaction now? not because al queda is pissed that we killed him (they knew it would happen one day..), but because the ignorance of our country seems to be magnified to an all-time high over this? --i celebrated last night. i loved every second of the whole media/social media ordeal, i was happy to be plugged in while it all unfolded, and it just felt awesome to have reason to be a proud american for a change. 9/11 brought us together in a terrible terrible way. and this was a nice reminder of that, because we triumphed. but its shocking how fucking stupid... HOW FUCKING STUPID... so many people truly are. and i dont want to sound like im someone who has any clue whats really going on in this world. ill come forward right now with no shame, and say im ignorant myself. but i at least like to think i have enough fucking sense to keep my mouth shut and not parade it around. also... not exactly thrilled that ive already experienced anxiety over flying next month (the first time in 21 years..) and now i can once again worry about an outside shot of terrorism. come onnnn.

lonesomexloveus Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 and this was a nice reminder of that, because we triumphed. it blows my mind that people say things like this. you think killing a single man who has been merely a figurehead for the last several years in a wide reaching ever changing organization is a 'triumph'? taking a life out of revenge is never a triumph.

Guest Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 were not cheering because someone was killed. its osama bin laden. the worst person in existence up until may 1st 2011. quit being such a fucking downer, and allow people to rejoice over something that i honestly think we deserve to. 9/11 fucked up EVERYTHING, and this is the first time in nearly 10 years that weve had any excuse whatsoever to be happy as a country. for a couple hours, it wiped out all the bullshit thoughts of $4 gas prices, a fucking birth certificate, unemployment rates, etc. this doesnt change a damn thing. but at least it feels good.

Guest Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 im not speaking for myself when i say it feels good. last night i watched cnn as 30 people outside the white house turned into masses. i immersed myself in twitter, at a time when there were a reported 4,000 tweets per second. i watched video of students at umass celebrating the same way we did when the sox won in 04. i watched john cena win the wwe title, stand on the announcers table, and let the crowd know what happened, with a USA chant breaking out within seconds. i watched the mets and phillies go to 14 innings in front of a crowd of New York and Pennsylvania fans. America celebrated last night. it felt good. this may have been the tip of the ice berg- but everything you and that article are touting are simply the rest of the berg that we all seem to ignore as it remains under water. no ones denying that terrible terrible shit has occurred leading up to this. but why rain on the parade? like i said- its the first time in a decade that we have anything to be happy about.
