This scare the shit out of anyone else?

[Odbarc]

Isn't it stuff like this that makes the terrorists hate America to begin with?

All their celebrating is just going to create another terrorist attack on themselves. Which in turn will cause people to set-up harsh post-9/11-style airport security into new areas of which terrorists have exploited to further ruin American reputations.

I felt nothing for 9/11, I feel nothing for Osama's death. If anything, it's remarkable that the death of an individual has become a statistic versus a tragedy against the old saying, "...death of a million..."

When bad people do bad things, people start rooting for anybody who'll put two in the back of their head.

That's about the size of it.

Well ya know, it's cycle. Thing is you can not break it ever. They bomb something because they are mad at X. Military comes in blasts a few of their buddies, they bomb something else.

But when the whole thing started with "We kill you in the name of god, or crusaders or not my religion. The blame goes to the loser who started it for no, real reason. And to just sit back and take it they will bomb for eternity... so honestly, they keep having 9 wives, and 7 kids all to fuel their armies, and they long forgot the cause of why they are fighting, dying, and setting their families up to die. If someone just wants to be left alone. Leave them alone.

Want a 2000 year war? Keep attacking people who never wrong you to begin with. And no the crusades don't count as a "recent" event.

I prefer we keep fighting, than just rolling over to keep allowing them to blow up whom ever they wish when ever they wish.

I think the cavorting and partying that seems to be sweeping at least America is disgustingly stupid. Yeah, the guy deserved whatever kind of death was going to come his way, painful or swift (anyone who orders attacks that kill thousands of civilians and then gloats about it really does deserve whatever end they get, I say). But celebrating it is just stupid in the same way that saying our president is a space alien is stupid. There's no real reason for it--yeah, the guy was the nominal head of Al-Qaeda, but the nature of the "organization" is such that by and large each cell is more or less completely autonomous. And we've possibly made him into a martyr to the extremists. And the guy might not have retained that much power anyways. And this doesn't do anything to actually end the threat of terrorism against the United States nor anywhere. So basically, we killed a figurehead, which won't make anything better, most likely. Americans just like to celebrate when we think we win something.

America has no class. Celebrating in the streets? It's not like you've won a war, or the world is a safer place. Americans celebrating in the streets will only radicalise more Muslims to the cause, and it's countries outside the US that pay for it.

 

[GodofCider]

First of all, a disclaimer: I'm American, and I really hate these people celebrating in the streets. All my (American) friends agree that it's kind of sick.

The event of a death should always be met with dignity and respect, no matter who died. Death should never be a cause for celebration.

Interesting, I've a completely different outlook. In my eyes death should always be celebrated.

 

[Deadman Walkin]

well... I'm thinking of very specific cases like where Canadians decide to boo our national anthem while they're in our country, even when Americans have the courtesy to be respectful during Oh Canada.

Whoa whoa you guys boo our national anthem at some games I have watched too.....

I take it you're not a fan of videogames then...

OT: When you die, you don't become a different person. I don't see why anyone thinks the dead deserve any more respect than they did in life. Osama Bin Laden died as a mass-murdering terrorist leading psychopathic piece of shit and in death should be treated as such. I'd have dug a pit myself and filled it with fire and poison tipped spikes and thrown him in, kicking and screaming, if they'd asked me to.

I haven't seen any celebrating other than the people outside the white house...

So 40 people speak for the entire country huh? Very narrow minded.

People are acting like it's been a non-stop party over here. I haven't seen a single person celebrating, and I live in a rather large city.

Besides, the US is the only country to ever celebrate a persons death. No country ever beheaded people in front of cheering crowds and put their heads on display or anything like that. It's just us. The uncivilized, ignorant, backwards Americans.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Cos this country is full of vengeful rednecks, thanks for not siding with them.
Listen: Even Ghandi could terrify nations, and he did it without death threats.

 

[BrownGaijin]

Dude, remember the thug who killed your wife and daughter? He's on the news, he's dead! The cops found his hideout and a gunfight ensued. He wouldn't resist so they ended up killing him!


So what am I trying to say? Much like this song, the news I've been celebrating somberly. So while I can understand where you're coming from, I can understand where these people are coming from. Because like the song, (it feels like) they have been waiting for this moment for all their life.

And yes I know he's British.

 

[kannibus]

Nah, the only things that scare me these days are my taxes.

Ever since I stopped taking humanity seriously, my life has been one of bliss.

 

[ServebotFrank]

While I understand that it's considered "wrong" to celebrate someone's death (Also you guys are turning this into a anti-America thread. May I remind you guys of Hitler?) and how this guy is a human being, think about this. When you claim responsibility to orchestrating an event that killed thousands of people including women and children. Then any respect you had as a human being is gone. It's gone. I mentioned earlier about Hitler didn't I? I imagine you Europeans were quite happy when he died weren't you? Before you ***** about WW2 I'll say that Russia would've fucked you guys over if it wasn't for America. I'm saying that if you guys celebrate the death of Hitler, a man who caused mass genocide, then I think America is well justified in celebrating Osama's death.

Note that everyone volunteers for the military in America too. I won't stand for people going Anti-America just because it's America doing it that's prejudice. If you wouldn't want people doing it to you then you shouldn't say anything either. That is all.

 

[SilentCom]

I don't know about you, but it seems like people here in America are extremely paranoid and fearful of terrorists because of Al Qaeda and Osama. The killing of Osama Bin Laden didn't cause celebration to Americans because it was a killing- it's not so much about killing a guy, rather it's about a step toward ending the fear that Americans face. If Osama Bin Laden wasn't killed but instead captured, people would be celebrating just as much.

Americans just want all the terrorism to stop so they don't have to be fearful of getting in a plane.

 

[Sparkytheyetti]

One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. He is not the first guy to fight for a cause and he certainly wont be the last. It all depends on the point of view. Its like people who still wear Che Rivera tshirts. Most people don't even who he is and the fact he was still a facist dicksuck.

Either way, he did what he did and we double tapped him in the face. One dude for 3000.

 

[greenitedaze]

You can't kill an ideology like this, like this!

 

[Yankeedoodles]

Why should it scare people? The US is a country based on revenge. This wasnt about a war on terror. This was about getting the guy, and we did.

Besides, its just a bunch of drunks chanting USA USA USA!

I'll tell you what scares me. When the Canadians bad mouth America while they're in America. I'm scared for the guys, they may not make it back over the border.

EDIT:
Besides, America did honour him. They gave him a good muslim burial at sea and followed in its accordances. We paraded Saddam around for days, so already he's getting ebtter treatment then that.

Jesus. I don't know what US you live in but it's not mine. A country based on revenge? No. Sorry to call you out like this but I find that notion so disgusting that I honestly felt compelled to respond to your post. We are a nation of laws, not emotions. I would not want to live in a country where I would have to be afraid of speaking my mind for fear of someone murdering or maiming me. That's what countries based on revenge are like. Fortunately, the United States is not such a country.

I think, that as much of a relief it is that he's no longer a threat, it's pretty barbaric to be so shamelessly celebrating the death of a human being, no matter how much of a monster he was. Not to mention how apparently, according to recent reports, and the CNN report that I saw a little while ago, he was unarmed, and a woman got caught in the crossfire. I'm not claiming to believe 100% in the story's veracity, mind you. It's just what I recently saw reported.

It would have been more satisfying, not to mention more civilized, to have seen him forced to answer for his crimes publicly than to have been gunned down like that. Not to mention that now he can be made into a martyr by our enemies.
