So perhaps he simply hijacked a particular faith in order to exploit the group-think it encourages to pursue his own agenda without any apparent regard to how his actions reflect on the faith that he has chosen to wear as a costume.... a change of clothes and switch from Muslim to Christianity and you have characterized most of the United States congress... right down to the pr0n on some of their computers.
Whats the big deal either way Bin Laden in the end wound up dying in what looked like a cheap motel in self made exile, a prisoner of his own making. Was kind of a pathetic end really I think it reflects positively as a sign of the times. This was all the biggest manmade ruckus of the last decade??? 9/11 was no Auschwitz, no Rwanda. Bin Laden was no Pol Pot, no Stalin The Boxing Day Tsunami was the biggest event of the last decade, 100,000+ people MIA and yet relatively we hardly heard a peep about it in comparison to 9/11. Even the shit thats going down in Libya at the moment if far worse, mums and dads get raped and killed in front of the rest of the family for not supporting an arsehole dictator Relatively speaking, the amount of attention OBL and 9/11 got, I found curious
Rallying point to manipulate a villain-hungry herd of sheeple. He served his purpose and has been discarded now that his is no longer necessary to keep the sheeple fearful.
Thats pretty much it...not a nickles worth of difference between him and some of the elected perv's here. Fuck it all and take me to the jungle
It isn't necessary or relevant to anything, but in my opinion, I think that what he did was so awful and disgraceful across the world that making fun of him lightens the feeling a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMtKHxv8gXc"]YouTube - Bin laden family guy I am making fun of Osama
And when can we begin to make fun of some dead American soldiers who had a hand in the killing of thousands of innocent muslims? Such a disgraceful act makes their deaths all the more funny... There are two sides to everything.
^^^^ THIS! Although I am totally supportive to our troops and their efforts, they chose their path and their fates...knowing what could happen over there. Innocent Muslims were also killed by Bin Laden. As were innocent Americans, British, French...the list goes on...He was in the process of starting a worldwide war (more than he already had). We all lived in fear of his threats and plans and pure existence. Osama Bin Laden did a lot more damage (and was planning a lot more awful things) than any one American soldier or millions of American soldiers could ever do. What's next? We were wrong to kill him when he was unarmed? Give me a break. The guy is rotting in hell where he belongs and I hope we make fun of him for decades to come. Too bad his kidney failure didn't kill him first.
What's your point? Bin Laden killed innocent people so it's okay that the US did? Umm...Bin Laden did a lot more damage (in general) than the US military has done? Seriously? Hell no. The US military has commited so many war crimes it's hard to keep up with what right and wrong they've done. Alright. We'll meet back here in 5. That's extremely unlikely. The majority of the rest of your country seems to feel the exact same way, and that's one of the reasons why I find it such a sad, pitiful place. It probably did. There's zero evidence to suggest that the United States killed him three weeks ago. Were you not the poster who once posted that your husband is in the military and that he once heard that Bin Laden died years ago? I could be wrong, might be someone else.
its a good thing we have forums so we can sit in front of a computer and argue about useless shit instead of living life eh
do you think some muslims don't make fun of dead american soldiers? it's not an accurate comparison anyway. osama was a leader, not a random soldier.
No, we didn't. Now that he's dead, its all fine and well to say that, but its not true. We actually forgot about Bin Laden. That guilt lies with every person in America. In March of 2003 America invaded Iraq, thus successful relegating all thoughts of Osama to the backburner for the next 8 years. American found a new scapegoat in the name of Saddam Hussein. Now that Osama is dead, people can pretend to celebrate but the truth is that after a couple of years the majority of American citizens forgot why the Afghanistan invasion happened in the first place. The day Osama Bin Laden was killed was probably the first time I have heard his name mentioned in a couple of years. At least, outside of the occassional casual comment..."hey...I wonder what happened to that guy...?" qft... Damnit internet acronyms get on my nerves. I don't know why I just used one.
I was also a bit deflated to learn he spent his last days holed up in some crappy apartment with his 19 year old wife. Its always the same crap with cult leaders, of whatever variety, a whole bunch of bullshit about a just cause or connection with the almighty and in the end you learn its really all to give them an excuse to bang young chicks. But the fact that he was with her didnt seem to rate a mention, probably cos its under the guise of marriage, even though the others wives probably had been discarded. Puts a dent in any credibility he might have had with some fundamentalists types across the world, or maybe not So the over the last year, everyones hunting the worlds most wanted man, pure evil yada yada yada, some bullshit about his 'righteous' cause, while he's spending all his time with his herbal remedies banging some girl young enough to be his grandaughter
someone should visit the va and see all the whack jobs fucked in the head from the Gulf War.. or is in the Middle East war, or the War on terror or .. the war on drugs.. They called this so many different things... no wonder were all whacked. :dizzy2: navy seals dont live forever either, I could walk you to a few mens homes that were navy seals and all they do is smoke crack cocaine, watch porn, go to the vfw and feed the poker machine.. LOLLLL america its just an illusion.. lets catch up with these seals in 10-20 yrs see how well off they are. pttf.
This just shows there's absolutely no difference between 'us' and 'them' except that we're 'us' and they're 'them'.
so it's not okay to laugh a dying american, but it's fine to laugh at a dying muslim? that's pretty rich.
Maybe they do, I just haven't heard any. American leaders don't die in wars, they hide on the other side of the planet. Besides, I wouldn't think that his rank somehow makes his death funnier.
Not dead because that was not what he was told...just nothing to worry about because he was dying. And I do believe Bin Laden killed many more innocent people than American soldiers have in this war. America, as a whole, did fear him and has feared him for theses past 10 years (some longer, who were effected by the attacks in the 90s). The point I'm trying to make is that the guy deserves no remorse or pity or empathy from anyone in our country. The jokes and crap will wear off, by the looks of this thread, many people think he deserves some kind of mourning?
Okay Can't really disagree Mourning, no, not in my opinion anyways. The only real point I was trying to make is that the US is as guilty of acts of worldwide terrorism, some much greater than those of the Taliban. And I therefore don't believe that it is right for them to cast stones to the extent that they do. I also don't believe that it is right to drag someone through the mud after they are dead and it really gives the American public a very bad global image, in my opinion (remember when the enemy celebrated in the streets on 9/11? Same thing). Facts are one thing, jokes and exposing someone's personal life is another. I do not pity or mourn Bin Laden in any way, shape or form. However I do respect the fact that he was a human being and should posthumously be treated as such, not a punch line. And for the record I wasn't arguing or even upset by our or this conversation (thread). Perhaps my choice of words led some to believe that I was, but I definitely wasn't. It isn't worth getting that worked up about. I was simplying discussing the subject.
