Bin Laden Dead?

I used to work at a satellite company that had customers in Baghdad and other Iraq cities. They were just internet cafes and things. Every week, they'd call up to ask us to recalibrate their coordinates because the building they were in had been bombed and they had to move. Every bloody week. It was quite depressing. These were just regular joes trying to have a normal life.

I posted the link to the MLK quote being partially fabricated because it bothers me in this day and age that whenever we want to quote an important figure, if the quote doesn't 100% jibe with what we're trying to say, rather than find another quote, just go ahead and fabricate it and circulate it anyway cuz it's the "spirit" that matters.

fuck that.

it makes me more ticked off cuz the main reason someone hacked his quote was essentially to go "SEE, ALL YOU ALL THAT ARE HAPPY THAT OSAMA IS DEAD ARE BAD PEOPLE AND MLK DOESN'T LIKE YOU"

also there are just some people who I will be glad when they die.

When Rush Limbaugh dies, I'm throwing a week-long party.

Yeah, most of the Britishers with that quote/sanctimony on will be OVERJOYED and DANCING come the demise of one M Thatcher.

does this mean we can stop doing "god bless america" at yankee stadium now? PLEEEEASE?

DREEEEAMM ON.... I'm sure they'll have two eagles fucking on the field at the next Yankee home game. And I smell a new federal holiday, perhaps in time for a campaign parade next year.

The MSNBC quartet of clowns were a disgrace last night (in about one minute each).

there's going to be a 30 minute patriotic medley during the 7th inning from now on

I understand killing people sucks, but I don't know if I'm a universal "killing is bad" pacifist now.

oh, if Al Qaeda had snuffed out the last admin, I'da sent em a check

I also added a note relating to Mordy's mention that there's no specific Jewish problem with celebrating death!

lotta Likud goin' to heaven.

dying at eagles fucking tbh

One of my other friends beat me to it, and now all the other posters of quote are going "yeah but the sentiment is what matters ok?".

So I'm guessing they're big fans of A Million Little Pieces

OTM

To, tbf, dancing but not not overjoyed

in re bin laden/celebration/whatever imo there's very few legit boogeymen in the world at any one time, i think ppl are allowed to enjoy this one

Double negative! (xp)

fact is, when some pieces of shit die, there should be dancing in the streets. fuck all life being sanctimonious, we need people to demonize, it's how we get through work each day...

xps - Agreed - it would have been nice if someone had used a real quote (there are plenty) but I don't think they made it up for this. If I had seen it I would have thought it quite pithy and relevant and probably wouldn't have checked it out too much.

xp - If it's sanctimonious not to "rejoice" in someone elses death then so be it. I won't be dancing/overjoyed when Thatch dies either. I must be a fucking hippy.

xp - who gets to decide who the "pieces of shit" are? Is my problem with that.

As Midge Ure put it, Dancing With Tears In My Eye

People whose deaths I will celebrate:

Dubya
Limbaugh
Kim Jong-Il
Aquaman

I'll keep believing the 'fake quote' and ppl who believe we had to A-bomb the Japanese can believe that.

xpost people get to decide for themselves who the 'pieces of shit' are in my own eyes. My main problem is the last two days for some people, as I mentioned earlier, have been nothing but fingerpointing and "HOW DARE YOU BE HAPPY THAT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IS DEAD".

It's not like the other side was going "HOW DARE YOU NOT BE HAPPY!!!"

xpost I totally keep a copy of "Our Friend the Atom" in the bathroom, along with "Get in the Van" and "The Commissar Vanishes."

No, they just call them sanctimonious.

I really don't care that ObL is dead. I'm ill that it's why the drones love America.

one thing Osama's death didn't do to me is stimulate my inner nationalism, cuz well rampant nationalism is still stupid sorry guys

it's like the usa putting "We the Best" on and then playing it on a 7000 inch boombox so the rest of the world can't ignore it

Nice of them not to shoot him before the Royal Wedding was all done and dusted.

we we we we
we so excited!

a ha ha ha ha, oh dear.

i'd wager brits who put that soppy fake-MLK quote on facebook or whatever probably aren't old enough to know who thatcher is/was (xposts)

Oh, brits, is it?

I really feel like fabricating a quote that gets circulated for months and then tagging everybody that circulates it in a FB note and going YER ALL DOUCHES

yeah the time to dance over Reagan/Thatcher's death was 1981

Ed Koch, 1977

yeah the time to dance over Reagan/Thatcher's death was 1981

(Some of) You might have forgiven Reagan, we'll never forgive Thatcher

Sam Kinison and Jeff Dahmer were right on time, tho

fuck Reagan, I'd be cool with necromancing him and killing him again

Strikes me, Reagan did admit to being wrong/mistaken about some things.

Not Thatch, except for the sell-off of ITV franchises to highest bidder (which she admitted was a mistake), no worries (well not that many) on that one by comparison, Mrs.

Can't think of many reasons not to be happy about Mugabe's death, especially if it happens in office and not in some comfortable retirement.

Five Men FROM LONDON arrested near Sellafield

BBC not sure of any connection with death of OBL but you never know says BBC.

Strikes me, Reagan did admit to being wrong/mistaken about not being able to recall some things.

xp - I think Thatcher regretted not doing enough about those inner cities iirc.

What, not using nuclear warheads on them?
