    True. It's bad to wish death on anyone and we should care about the poor man.

    *puts caring about Jerry Falwell on his to-do list below tongue scrubbing the kitchen floor*
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
    -Richard Dawkins

      Dunno. I was glad at the news of Sheik Yassin's death. Why should I disallow me from welcoming the death of someone who's instrumental in the poisoning of the American society?

        Sava, yeah, but you start thinking sometimes.. you know.. if that douchebag is obnoxious in my opinion (sure is) and super judgemental, appearing to be something that I think is not very Christian to begin with and the same time claiming the Christiaty and his supposed position and authority because of it and superiority, what does that make him?

        You know, all he is, is just opinions we don't agree with. All he is, is just a loudmouth who makes us sick with his mongering and hate. So, as good Christians (which I'm sure you are too ), we must feel for him, because clearly he is misguided. He prolly will never change his ways, thinking he is God's chosen messenger, so what can we do? Maybe nothing. But we still don't have to wish bad things to him. Right? He dies when it's his time to die, and we don't have to bother our heads with it. If you respect him, write something nice about him for his memory, go visit his grave etc. If you don't like him, or even hate him, why not just ... not bring it up and do counter gloating when he's in a tough spot? You know what it makes you, when you retreat from your natural way of feeling a bit satisfaction when he goes down? A better Christian than him.

          Pekka: well I don't claim to be a better "Christian" than those kind of people... although if you don't count my obnoxious internet ramblings, I am a much better Christian than any religious right winger.

          however, it's probably not a good idea that I visit his grave... it would get pissed on

            I make a distinction between wishing murder/execution upon someone and wishing natural/accidental death upon someone. In the first set, no one deserves to die like that, but the second set can be viewed as karma coming back at a bad person.
            The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

              Good point. I'd like to have seen these people exposed as the frauds they are while commiting some sort of vile crime so they'd be discredited but if we cheer when they die then we are no better then the Palestinian filth who danced upon hearing about 9/11.

                      Edit:

                      Good point. I'd like to have seen these people exposed as the frauds they are while commiting some sort of vile crime so they'd be discredited but if we cheer when they die then we are no better then the Palestinian filth who danced upon hearing about 9/11.


                      I don't think either Sheik Yassin or Falwell committed any crime (by the legal definition) directly. However, their words moved plenty of people, and in the case of Yassin, his words considerably helped Hamas, and contributed to making the Palestinians more hostile to a peaceful settlement.

                      Yassin, despite being a lame old man who couldn't have killed if his life depended on it, was instrumental in the poisoning of the region, and death of many. Falwell, although I don't think his words have killed yet, is also partly responsible for slowly destroying the American society, and turning many Americans as crazies.

                      The death of these guys mean good news. And unlike the death of obsolete politicians (like Pol Pot), their natural death doesn't merely satisfy a sense of "poetic justice", but it also serves a political purpose, and one that is very important for society as a whole.

                            Yeah, just use the computers. Nothing like stealing government bandwidth for my own purposes. Even managed to get a few posts out from the middle of the ocean.

                            Its after working hours now though. My only function is to be present, and surfing the web counts

                              Dude, if you consider using army puters for Poly, and regarding it as stealing the gov bandwith for your own purposes, you need to get out and seriously loosen up. That's like Korean Code isn't it?
