I was wondering how people can be against celebrating Osama's death. What is wrong with it?

Some people think it's wrong, since they believe anyone can be redeemed.

What do you mean by redeemed? Like rehabilitated?

In the eyes of God. Those are the few people I know of who feel that, but I'm sure there are others.

No, and if you do then you're an utter pleb.

No. I could understand the loved ones of those killed or wounded in his attacks being pleased but the kind of celebrations that were seen following the reports of his death had a horrifically bloodthirsty feel to them that I would like to think, or rather that i'd hope, people could be above.

I agree, but I read somewhere his family disowned him when he joined al Qaeda.

Yes. Anyone who says no one's death should be celebrated is deluding themselves. The world really is a better place without some people, and Osama bin Laden was definitely one of them.

I'm really not deluding myself. Some deaths are necessary but they shouldn't be celebrated.

It's not whether he can be redeemed in the eyes of God, it's if he can be redeemed in the eyes of Humanity. He can't.

Should we celebrate his death? Death shouldn't be celebrated. But some people can not be allowed to live.

Whats wrong it? Well nothing but perhaps one might consider getting a life if one really cares that much (victims and relatives excluded)

I'm of the belief that no death should be celebrated, only solemnly acknowledged and mourned. I also believe that everyone can be rehabilitated into a normal human being. I really don't want to get into a firefight about this, that's just how I feel.

I don't see what's wrong with celebrating what makes the world better. I'd celebrate if we ended world hunger, too.

Well, I don't know, but it's reported that we have also killed his replacement.

by **Strykla** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:15 am

I was happy for it. The man orchestrated the mass murder of 3000-some people at nearly once, and that was only at 9/11.
So yeah, we should be patting ourselves on the back for the death of bin Laden.

Did anyone celebrate Hitler's death?(Not a rhetorical question)
We shouldn't celebrate anyones Death

I agree. We should all be happier that a psycho who kills random innocents is dead.

I wasn't going to go there, but I'm glad someone brought this up. I feel the same way.

Saying: "we did it!" is different (and much acceptable) to going: "YES! HE'S DEAD!!!! PARTY!!!!!!! *waves flag* USA! USA! USA!"

by **Norfsex** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:21 am

Well, certainly. It is only proper to rejoice upon the death of your foe, knowing full well he have rejoiced slaying 3,000 of your people for no particular actions of theirs. It is revenge, and it should be enjoyed.

yeah i think they are going to stop talking about whoever is going to take over.

its bad for their health.

by **Ceannairceach** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:24 am

I'm against the celebrations, mainly because its inciting hatred from the remaining people of Al-Qaeda, and I don't like the idea of celebrating death. I find it reprehensible.

Should we celebrate Osama's Death
