Bin Laden is Dead, nee Gay topic

[Stu]

And we're all delighted for you.

Does it mean we won't acknowledge the bigger picture? No.

I hope people can understand this now. No one planned these celebrations. No one said 'hey, meet here.' People were brought together and were so happy that they just did it spontaneously. It wasn't a well-thought out plan, it just happened. It was a moment for us to be proud again, and it's one of the most powerful moments I'll ever experience in my life.

Do you trust in fair president?
Don't like politics - there are some differences between info about attack on kadafi in all countries.

he became "public enemy number one" for all people who hate America the day he was inaugurated

you think i hate america because i think that he is public enemy for arabs? Funny to talk about politics)))

Personally i think that the goal is to sell weapons etc. to kadafi and his opponents at the same time. When the country will be destroyed enough someone will say "WTT: oil for food!". And i'm interested - why China and Russia don't attack Kadafi? America is judge for all world?! Is there anyone who is ready to join military go&attack Kadafi?
Please go on - explain me what kind of info are you getting about this from day to day.There are should be some good explanations to american people.

I bet he took the shot. Hope you guys feel better now.

Aimbot!))
Sorry but its like from PC game - "you come to your neighbour and you see - he is Bin Laden".

Obama is going to become public enemy number 1 for arabs.

Replace Arabs with 'terrorists' or 'extremists' and I'll begin to take this seriously. As if he wasn't already hated by them? Considering he's the poster boy and leader of the free world and earth's lone superpower, he became "public enemy number one" for all people who hate America, American ideals, freedom and love the day he was inaugurated.

He is hated by terrorists, because of him(not only but because of him too) Kadafi is under attack.

This little tidbit right here can unify all of us THIA'ers under one umbrella -- it's so stupid I can't help but laugh.

Gaddafi's under attack because he ordered his military to drop bombs on civilians and open fire on protesters. He dug his own fucking grave. To blame Obama and NATO for stepping into this horrifying situation is absolutely ridiculous.

As for me - nothing changed. Another Bin Laden will appear very soon.

There'll be replacements, there will always be replacements, but no one will have the staying power that he did. He was the face of international terrorism for well over a decade. They cut the head off of the snake, and although a new one will grow back, I doubt it'll be as influential as Bin Laden.

Time to bring this old video to celebrate the man's death and a victory for America

[Alexia_Ashford]

Sure they have, many times. Check out the new rules in the Global Announcement. If there are any other queries, PM or visitor wall me. Now, on topic.

[Stu]

Ok, everyone get back on topic now and stop arguing or I'll lock the topic. And FYI, I've asked Darkmoon to give everyone an infraction for all of the needling/arguing/bitching in this topic, including me.

Why though? It's not like any lines have been crossed?

[Mr. Spencer]

I haven't argued shit.

Aaaw, Betha and Vector together. Kinda cute don't you think?

Tread carefully, will you? Talk about generalizing on an epic scale. You really need to choose your words carefully, Stu.

Of what bullshit. Generalising? Because it was me who singled out "non-Americans" right?

Repercussions or an aggressive response is rather obvious. Let them have their celebrations for Pete's sake.

Them? Are you generalising?

[Mr. Spencer]

Hey, I've just found a bag of M&M's!

[Alexia_Ashford]

I believe what he means is that some users just have to pop up and say bullshit. Bin Laden was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people, not just Americans. "HEY BRITFAGS! REMEMBER THAT TRAIN THAT BLEW UP AND KILL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE?" Yeah..bin Laden wanted to kill your asses too. It's not simply about revenge. When any one commits a crime, especially something so terrible, everyone affected wants to see that person come to justice, whether it be jail or death. If you're saying you would be happy to just ignore the fact that someone responsible for the death of a loved one should simply got off free you should probably seek attention for whatever mental disorder you have.

Using the whole thought process of "It changes nothing" is very shallow. Yes, it wont bring the dead back. Yes, in a few months they will most likely regroup and try to retaliate. Yes, he will be seen as a martyr. No, this will not solve any of the financial problems caused by drawn out wars. However...for many people around the world, a dangerous man responsible for (let's repeat this all together now) the deaths of thousands of people worldwide is now dead, and the Americans responsible did so with as few casualties as possible.

This was something many people around the world never thought we could accomplish. IF you watched the news, just about everyone they interviewed said they never believed it could be done. Mission accomplished.

Now please, continue on. I'm sure your rebuttals will be a lovely heap of gargabe. Mission accomplished, whether you like it or not.

What did any of this rant actually have to do with my post, or was it just the CR29 defence force? Of course he is going to get a response when other countries have suffered losses and he says "The reaction I expected from non-Americans" and doesn't clarify what he's going on about. Thanks for saying I have a "mental disorder" but you seem to have completely invented a post that I've posted and posted a very aggressive, bitchy response to it. So I shall only talk to you when you decide to act like an adult and surgically remove whatever animal seems to have crawled up your ass and died.

I don't get the arguing LOL this is how I see it

I'm happy Osama is dead! Will it change things? Quite possibly for the worse in terms of the many attacks that will most likely be conducted on our soil. Yes I am happy the county came together but in general I find it disturbing that we only come together through death. The moment has passed and it's back to reality there's still a lot of business to be done to fully destroy al Qaeda this tho was a big first step
