Agree, it was ******ing vile.
Even when Americans begun chanting and cheering when Osama was killed, I know he was a ***** and he 'ruined their lives' and such and they wanted him dead for years, but the way they went about acting like it was some fantastic party outside the white house was horrible.

At the end of the day, it's a human life and a death as you said.
I'm not saying they didn't have a right to be happy and over the moon about it, I mean the bloke deserved it completely. But they just made themselves look like tools chanting 'USA USA!' because a guy had been shot.

Something tells me you didn't follow the Libyan conflict very closely, the whole thing was disgusting, and both sides were guilty of numerous atrocities. Did you realise he was sodomised with a knife during his death for instance?

i still don't understand what point yu are making. The Man was a cartoon that abused and dominated generations of his own people, however they wanted to kill him is none of my concern, and it's none of yur concern eigther.

I'm pretty sure the French did some nasty stuff in their revolution too....

My point is that the manner in which he killed was disgusting, as was the subsequent reaction in a lot of the Western media and the ignoring of Rebel atrocities

I don't agree with the Death Sentence at all but I do agree with what other people have said about prison life.

It needs to be made tougher. Your serving time for a crime, your not on holiday.

I agree with this. Watching them on the news that day made me feel a little sick.

There was no need for it at all.

and how many American's did you see burning any flags? ZERO. How many American's on that day did you hear chanting "Deatth to.." any country?? ZERO.

Did you see any American's that day hating anyone? or advocating violence? none, ZERO.

All you saw was American's celebrating not having to be AFRAID anymore.

That day showed the difference between Americans and the Arab World., because we came out and brought peace and happiness, NO violence, NO hate, no burning anyone else's flags, or chanting "death to..." we came out and celebrated being free from BIN LADENS TERROR.

shame on us i guess. shame on us.

It doesn't work. It only makes other people feel better about themselves. It doesn't help society as a whole.

1) I never claimed I had

3) Will you ever calm down?

Yeah I agree, there's a whole odd feeling to it if you ask me. I'm not saying we should all mourn his death, but cheering? I don't know.

Doesn't cheering someone's death make you as bad as the extremists?

I think people took the 'parties' too seriously. Most of them were just drunk college people who will basically find any excuse to party. They weren't people who were going to work at the office the next day. Most of them were just drunk 20 year olds.

Sorry I'll use this little guy in future

And Churchill and appeasement, or comparing Americans to Arabs doesn't have anything to do with the death penalty, you can go bump the Bin Laden thread or start a new one if you want to talk about that
