Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Bin Laden is Dead

Thank God this thread got derailed to something important!

Aw, come on, I just wanted to see what life was like on the other side of the reality curtain for a minute, so I forayed into willful antagonism. My, that was exciting.

Yes, I am bummed that Zima is dead. But in its place have sprung dozens of like-minded bitch beers. Mwah ha ha, death by a thousand paper cuts, infidel.

Jack -

I agree with Tom. Well put and my thoughts are very similar to yours regarding OBL and the resent events.

It's unfortunate that so many people have to resort to angry and disrespectful retorts to support their opinion or position on a subject. I am often embarrassed when I reflect upon some of the things I have said in the past. Some of the comments in this thread remind me of the person I do not want to be or be like.

If they're after you, your bound to have a bad day!

Thank you, Mike. You have every right to be proud of the positive contributor to this forum you've become.

(((((Group hug)))))

Seriously, I think that both of you guys are cool, and evidence that, by and large, our forum attracts and retains quality people.

Jack, I'm glad I got to spend time with you last September, and I hope our paths will cross again. Likewise, Mike, I'm sure I'd enjoy it if our paths crossed one day.

Peace be with you.

(and also with you)

Me too, JP. Me too.

Funny, you don't know the first thing about me, but that is ok, that is a good thing.

OK, so I had the news on in the background today and heard that Osama bin Laden was shot while dressed in a bath robe, in his bedroom, with his grandchildren and a wife present. No weapon.

So, he was executed, a targeted assassination.

Now, I am not aware that the president of the United States has the authority to order an assassination. Bin Laden is a mass murderer. He murdered thousands of Americans. He declared war on the United States.

Was he given the opportunity to surrender? Did the Obama administration not want him alive? Did Obama want him dead?

Interesting moral dilemma.

Not as clear on day two as on day one.
