holy s*** I can't imagine a worse ending

QUOTE (Real @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) Get better offensive players. Just a thought. hmmm

lol what can you do against that?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:23 PM) That smiley is awesome. Perfect I've got loads more of awesome smilies I can steal! SoxTalk needs a smiley update.

Me? I'm above it all! Both sides are such neanderthals in comparison with my sophisticated position!

Guys, you're all monsters, how can you celebrate the death of even on man, even if he was a monster?!?!? Guys, you're a bunch of crazy liberal idiots, how can you not celebrate the death of this monster?!!?!?

Ugh.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) World's? Which countries are you including in that? He was certainly the US's #1 and perhaps a couple other english speaking, Christian countries, #1 terrorist threat, but he was nothing to most of the world. He was pretty heavily active against Saudi Arabia in the 2000's. Libya as well. He was a gigantic s***head to a good chunk of the world, Christian and Muslim.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) The celebrations after his death do not change what Osama Bin Laden was, for better or worse. It can mythologize it.

Another really sloppy game full of turnovers for the Bulls.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) I bet they'd also like all of us to convert to Islam. If we don't, it might also cause 1 more terrorist to kill more people. Islam is the Light.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Fair enough. Then argue morality, civility, pride or something else. Just don't feed me this BS line that we're going to piss more people off when our existence is more than enough. I don't think I really have. The MLK quote is clearly a moral argument.

Just because we are dealing with savages like Osama doesn't mean that we need to behave like savages.

Also this: While many world leaders praised the U.S. killing of Osama bin Laden, the president of Peru went a step further on Monday, calling the development the first miracle of Pope John Paul II since he was beatified last weekend.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) If you cant see how this will be used as a terrorist, than there is nothing else to say. In my recruitment video, Id show a picture of dead civilians and then US people cheering and shouting. Hey, just like we do whenever barbarous, blood-thirsty people celebrate the killing of [insert latest attack victims here]!

What is this bizarre world where I'm agreeing with Tex and ss2k5 in the same thread?

and an great 18 ft shot there

Boozer showing some post moves here

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Ok, well if we want to live in fantasy land where human emotion doesn't exist then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place... What is this non-sequitor?

QUOTE (Tex @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) I could be wrong, but I believe it is more of a concern of pissing off the people that don't want to kill us but could be convinced we are evil and should be killed. I think it's more us coming across as a bunch of barbarous, blood-thirsty douchebags that we're always complaining about.

Seemed like pretty sloppy basketball on both sides in the first half.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) I didn't hear it that way. I heard the guy give Obama credit. I heard him say thanks. So what if he was making fun of all the praise that's going strictly to one guy (which, in a general sense, it is, but not from everyone so I don't agree with him exactly). Some here, within hours, expected him to come out and do the exact opposite of what he did. He gave Obama credit for following Bush policies. It was about the best damage control, bash-Democrats-and-boost-Republicans rush could manage in that sort of situation.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 2, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) Trump said he wants to call a truce and stop the partisan bickering. That is funny as hell, the "bickering" was going one way and Obama was ignoring him. Finally Obama responds and it's a nasty combo of b**** slaps that stung (ending in him roasting Trump while an operation was underway to kill Osama bin Laden, and the announcement pre-empts his show the following day). Trump cries uncle at first contact like his name was Cedric Benson. Lesson learned? Stay in your lane. Bigger f*** you from Obama this weekend: Trump, or ISI?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) I love how we're concerned about pissing off people that want to kill us. Yes, let's be really worried about pissing them off more. Seriously, if this were a regular, run of the mill terorrist killed on the battlefield, then sure, you make a good point. But this was an enemy of the world. This was an enemy of the religion he was supposedly protecting. These concerns do not apply and any sane person in the world would understand his death and the happiness it brings Yeahbut... Bin Laden's done a lot of s***ty things to a lot of people. Yeah, 9/11 was the highest profile simply because of who the target was, but this isn't only an American thing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) The other side of this comes in the vein of trying to improve our image in the world. There was a lot of talk about how our actions looked to the rest of the world during the Bush years, and those kids of celebrations aren't going to help it at all. The best way I know how to put it is like this. How would we have felt if it was our President who got shot, and we got to watch the people responsible for it (in a nation sense) celebrate publicly, knowing that they too were responsible for a lot of deaths around the world? I...er, uh...yeah. What ss2k5 said.
