Exactly, generalizations are always bad.

I'm not sure we were reading the same posts by you. You may have a duplicate who is using your name to spread infamy. That said while I was asleep this thread has turned pretty awful.

And people say it's bad that I shout at trolls a lot. This thread didn't fall apart until I went missing. Don't worry! I'll keep her on the right track for a while.

Obama 1-0 Osama

For reference they perma ban people who box multiple accounts to avoid bans. Freedom of speech comes with the responsibility to use it as an adult (hence why it doesn't apply to minors). You demonstrated a repeated inability to do that. This is a private semi commercial site about a figure toy game. Not your local statehouse. Some things are kind of taboo dude.

Assuming this spam of sock puppets is all happydude, I feel like I can say that your opinions could widely be considered offensive and inappropriate. While we can't stop you from holding such feelings, I can't help but say that it is a testament to dakkaites that no one really flamed you horribly. We kept our discourse fairly civil considering the topic matter.

You started by saying that I shouldn't make a comparison between V-J day and the day we killed Bin Laden. I said that killing Osama was almost as big if not as big as that day, I meant the joy and celebrations we should be having, not the overall effort expended. There was no racism/ignorance/etc just pure elation over the fact that something historical had happened. Then some people started criticizing the war effort, which doesn't really belong in this thread, this thread is for celebration of something that's been 10 years in the making.

As I also said before, we got him, we should celebrate, dance on his grave, and God bless the troops and those who pulled the final trigger. I just feel bad that they were CIA because we really can't throw them the parade they deserve.

Oh I figured it's taboo, and since I use this site to find new gamers I decided to comply with rules and regulations. Believe it or not I am actually a really nice guy who would give a homeless guy the shirt off of his back ( Actually happened with a sweater once on dundas and yonge if anyone knows where that is in Toronto ). I am just so used to conversing heavily with friends and colleagues that I forget how pc the online community can be and to use that community I must respect that. No offense to my southern brothers any further, although I still say our beer is better up here ;p

I wouldn't go as far as dancing on someones grave, kind of tacky really and really you seem better than that.

Can't really dance on his grave anyways, but I'm going to take a boat and jetski over his grave.

I'm not gonna dance on his grave. I just put "America Feth Yeah" on never ending loop, and argue with people on facebook.

And they tell me to be civil lol. Nevermind that business, the man is dead and done with so say your oorah's and let him become food for the marine life.

Have a cruise party. You could probably make quite the profit actually...

The irony of Bin Laden's grave being used for capitalist gain. Talk about a kick in the nuts

And by comparing the muted sense of satisfaction Americans should feel here to the pure elation resulting from the end of the most major conflict in the history of the planet you show yourself to be without perspective on either event. That said I wasn't calling you racist or jingoist or anything. Each of those is in reply to a different post from a different poster, none to anything you've said (except minimally the ignorant bit).



Either way, I'm sure some organizations will handle this even worse then us.

There is a difference between insulting a man that the world hated and is not a Dakka user and insulting Dakka users you know. The difference being there's a rule against insulting Dakka users.

@ shuma, I know you weren't calling me a rascist. Its just that you kind of were starting something before anything else happened. In fact I recall myself somebody to chill with the whole "That's Mission Accomplished Bush" thing. And no, we stopped two hated enemies of the country who were just about the only two groups to ever do damage on American soil in the modern era(excluding anything pre-1900's). We should be happy about both, when we pull out of Afghanistan we should take pictures of sailors kissing people in Time Square, until then we should set off fireworks and play the Team America theme song.

I question anybody who isn't happy that a man who threatened people's loved ones with horrific deaths at the hands of terrorists is dead. Seriously. The man contributed absolutely nothing to the world except for pain and suffering. By what right does a man deserve to exist? Of course we should be happy, Of course we should gloat, Of course we should be proud of the USA. Why?

They had the ****s to remove a man who threatened the world. Forget revenge attacks; anything will set a terrorist off so theres no point worrying about that now.

Hats off to the US. Shame my fellow British could not be the ones to put a bullet in his brain.

So it's not just me then? Yeah, the flamewars on my Facebook page are pretty epic.

My friends and I are worse than anything you've seen on Dakka.

Thank you for the sock puppet alerts.

Bury him with pig entrails. Ensure he never goes to his supposed reward.

Funny no flames on my Facebook, everyone's pretty happy.

My only regret is they didn't impale his corpse on the Empire State Building like i wanted...

Kid_Kyoto wrote:Funny no flames on my Facebook, everyone's pretty happy.

Yeah, my friends have a pretty wide spectrum politically.

The majority is, as you say, pretty happy. As an aside, I think Shiny Space Marines is my favorite one so far.

No flames either, but most of my friends are either in the military or related directly to someone who is. My brother goes to Virginia Military Institute and he said that everyone was shouting that Osama was dead and cheering and it woke him up.

I would have been nice if they could have dealt with this news by showing quiet dignity and paying sombre tribute to those who perished on that awful day, but perhaps I'm expecting them to be British, when in fact they are American.

Come again?

I do think us british are more reserved.
We would announce his death, and quietly congratulate ourselves on a job well done.

P.S That's not the way to spell morons

That's the joke, he's telling morons to get a brain and misspelt it.

They're also saying that Osama used a woman as a human shield, the woman is believed to be a wife or something.

I was going to say that the most disturbing aspect of this is that the US feels that it can, with impunity, fall upon a person anywhere in the world and summarily execute them without trial or any other due process in what is either a war crime or an assassination. Now I think I'm more disturbed by how readily people (especially in the US) will disregard even the most basic laws of their own civilization in their thirst for revenge, whilst in the same breath damning other civlizations for their barbarism??? That's just scary.
