Do you take pleasure in the misfortune of those you despise?

[ohiosmith]

I sure as hell do.

[bertha katzenengel]

1. Nope.

Not in the least. It's a colossal waste of my time and energy. I have no use for hatred.

That doesn't mean I don't hate. I don't like it that I do hate some people.

But for me it is absolute idiocy to celebrate when those I hate die, are hurt, etc.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Initially, yes. And, then I feel badly about it.

Of course, it depends on the level of misfortune. I wouldn't wish anyone dead, or anything like that, but I do get a certain satisfaction in people getting what is coming to them. Especially anyone who has been a shithead to children.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. When said misfortune makes the world a better place.

Absolutely.

[dolo amber]

4. Usually I do my best not to...but I *am* human and today

is a fuckin' celebration, bitches!! :toast: :party: :woohoo:

[Arugula Latte]

23. ...

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. i am human, at last count, so yes.

[Zywiec]

6. Of course not. I'm a lover not a hater

"When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at al, but our hate is turning our days and nights into a hellish turmoil."

-- Dale Carnegie

[billyskank]

7. No, I'm just glad to see him fall on his butt.

[kwassa]

8. Yes, I do.

A failing, I am sure, but more so in the fall of the neocons than Jerry Falwell, who had lost most of his credibility and power on the right wing already.

[Critters2]

9. An initial twinge of satisfaction, followed by days and days of guilt. nt

[KitchenWitch]

26. Yeah, me too.

[Mojambo]

10. Yeah. n/t

[DS1]

11. Especially so if I owe them money

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Hey, can you post that WillPitt photoshop in the

dance on Jerry's grave thread? :rofl:

[DS1]

15. Nah

I haven't made a shiny, bald version yet ;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Well, hop to it.

:rofl:

[DS1]

21. Something with relevance to today's events

[dysfunctional press]

Schadenfreude...we ALL do.

whether we're willing to admit it or not.

[Zywiec]

14. Please, we don't ALL do n/t

[Rambis]

16. Yep

when I heard he kicked off I was glad deep down my heart feels lighter.

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being"

"Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them"

"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite
jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh's charioteers"


"You'll be riding along in an automobile. You'll be the driver perhaps. You're a Christian. There'll be several people in the automobile with you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the trumpet sounds you and the other born-again believers in that automobile will be instantly caught away -- you will disappear, leaving behind only your clothes and physical things that cannot inherit eternal life. That unsaved person or persons in the automobile will suddenly be startled to find the car suddenly somewhere crashes.... Other cars on the highway driven by believers will suddenly be out of control and stark pandemonium will occur on ... every highway in the world where Christians are caught away from the drivers wheel"

Anyone that says shit like that should be universally despised~!

[trof]

13. Kinda. I'm an atheist who believes in karma. Sometimes.

;-)

[AllegroRondo]

18. Only my ex.

and she deserves every misfortune she has.

[ohiosmith]

20. :

:rofl:

[tigereye]

19. sometimes yes

karma will out.

[BarenakedLady]

22. No

I don't.

O8)




























ok, maybe a teeny tiny bit.:dilemma:

[ohiosmith]

25. You are such a tease.

[BarenakedLady]

27. I've heard that before

:evilgrin:

Shocking, ain't it?

[KitchenWitch]

24. Sometimes

In fact, I would love to dance a jig on Falwell's grave.
