• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Bin Laden- Dead

I don't think anyone should feel happiness at the death of another human being; I think relief is a better word.

I get that he was a horrible person, and he is the reason that a bunch of people are dead. But he had a wife and kids! (actually I'm not sure if it was one kid or more but still) Whom, I may mention, they killed him in front of. Imagine if the Navy SEALS ambushed your family home, and killed your father right in front of you and then took him away, so they could (with the proper religious rituals of course, which I was happy to hear about) dump his body in the ocean? How would you feel? I bet you wouldn't be happy about it.

Bullshit. I'm all for the inherent worth of the individual (hell, I'm the biggest individualist I know), but I find it hard to empathize with (empathy being the object of your hypothetical situation) perhaps the biggest homicidal maniac of the past two decades. When you have killed thousands upon thousands of people, I think you forfeit your right to be sympathized with. But that's just me.
