If someone I don't care for is sick or dies

[cali]

I simply stay out of those threads. I feel like a hypocrite wishing them well, and I feel slimy wishing them ill. It's a simple solution.

1. Isn't that the truth

I had to chuckle when I read the subject line of your thread. Knew exactly who it was about. I had made the same decision only minutes earlier.

2. I'll be the slimebag to pick up the slack.

Sorry, when George W Bush or Dick Cheney fall ill and finally die (which looks to be about 30 years from now), I'll be grinning because they'll be frying. My mourning is for their victims, living or dead.

I mean, what's the message here, "Be Dishonest"?

5. I suppose you could, if you so wish, call it dishonesty

I certainly did have discretion is the better part of valor drummed into me. I rebelled heartily against it, but now I understand why it's not a bad way to approach these things.

[Double T]

3. I think YOU are trying to tell US we should put our rethug voodoo dolls away.

I'll save a bundle on pins. Certainly NO hypocrite here. Great idea OP!

4. who died?

if it's rush limbaugh or glen beck, i don't care what anyone thinks. there are some people when they die don't deserve to have people go easy on them.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. I'm with you. I haven't seen the thread yet, but I've seen the news and I'm

pretty sure I know who you are talking about. I feel the same way.

[KarenS]

7. Yes, indeed. I am the same way. n/t

[ThomWV]

8. I agree, but if Oliver North gets cancer I'm going to cheer anyway

[tilsammans]

9. When bad people get sick and die, . . .

. . . I chalk it up to karma.

'Cause karma's a bitch, doncha know.

10. I'll Be Thrilled To Do Some Grave-Dancing For Some Folks, And I Won't Feel the Least Bit Slimy

I already have the money set aside for a plane ticket for when Fred Phelps dies, so I can fly to Kansas and take a shit on his grave.

[MuseRider]

11. You can stay with me! n/t

[Toasterlad]

12. Thanks, Darlin'!

13. If Karl Rove dies....

I will find his casket and tip it over. Sometimes, the more insult to injury, the better.

[DavidDvorkin]

14. Where does one draw the line, then?

Consider everyone's favorite example of evil: Adolf Hitler. When word reached the rest of the world that he was dead, surely millions of people cheered. Where they wrong to do so? Should they have said nothing?

How much lower on the scale of evil than Hitler does the dead person have to be before it becomes wrong to cheer?

16. the line is obvious to some. what is the need to cheer. gone. is simply that. no more

that doesnt mean one cant express the ins and outs of the situation. repercussions of actions or death

but cheer?

it is a whole other action

where is the need

[DavidDvorkin]

17. Er, what?

[seabeyond]

15. i hear ya. the dancin on the grave mentality does not make me feel all that. nt
