    its only spiritually risky to feel happy ABOUT someone dieing.
    its good to feel happy for them. at least i think it is.

    there are no monsters, only people who make monstrously poor choices,
    for reasons that may or may not have made some sort of sense at the time.

    The sense of happiness and relief that can be felt when a deserving individual meets their death is only short-lived if it is a painless, easy death. If you know they suffered, even if the suffering was only in the time leading up to their death, and you know they deserved it, then you can smile about it for years to come. I still smile when I remember seeing that video of Saddam being hanged:)

    None of us can deny that MANY people deserve to die.....painfully. We may try to deny it, outwardly, but in our hearts, we know it's true.

    Ted Stevens has had moments that would make you cry from sheer empathy.

    many MAY deserve to die.
    none among the living are qualified to determine whom they might be.

    deserving or not, pretty much all of us DO die, however.
    or is that "die". i know the body at some point ceases to function.

    an appointment i would as soon avoid, under any reasonable circumstance.

    there is such a thing as bad taste.
    indicative of immaturity.

    i gain nothing from the death of anyone, however good or bad they may have been.
    the kind of world we all have to live in,
    only gains from those who cause it harm to stop doing so,
    not from the manor in which they stop.

    No death is a copout :mad: it’s a way of shirking your duties and responsibilities to your family, friends, and coworkers for the benefit of a pair of wings and the life of riley :D

    I point blank refuse to start cutting the lawn when my grandfather dies, the crafty son of a bitch

    I knew he was up to something :rolleyes:

    Come on now, whenever you start that craftsman lawn mower you’ll have fond memories of the times you and your grandfather spent together cutting the grass (and you as the dutiful grandson) raking up the fresh cut grass while stepping on the occasional landmine your neighbors dog was only too generous to leave behind :)

    Death is a natural part of all life. Do you think leaves feel they've shirked responsibilities?
