A lot of bad karma out here today

[moez]

Good luck with that guys...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. Not me.

Someone has passed. No matter whom, I always avoid celebrating such things. Mom and Granny, both fine southern women of the old school, made sure I understood the meaning of the word "unseemly". And I thank them for it.

[Perky]

3. Its a a bit unseemly but also a first reaction

If it continues for more than a few days then it is just plain ugly.

[dogday]

5. Normally I would agree, however this man

used politics and religion which totally helped get the shrub elected, which in turn he fabricated a war where hundreds of thousands have died... People looked up to and respected this man and he used that to help get shrub elected....

[devilgrrl]

21. Yep. My karma's just fine OP!

:hi:

[lvx35]

32. That's how I feel about it.

I mean, if you happy he's dead, fine. Smile and shut the fuck up about for a few days. Its not that I think the guy deserves much respect, its just that people look like assholes ragging on a dead person. Its not like you need to bring somebody down once they're dead. That's the point; they are no longer a threat...running out of the shadows to kick a corpse you weren't kicking yesterday when he was alive doesn't strike me as very brave.

[Moochy]

35. Ignore Posters and hide threads

Two important features that help in these times. In fact all of you "concern" posters I'm going to ignore for a few days, to avoid hearing DU's moral majority telling us what is acceptable.

4. you get what you give times three

do not rejoice in his death, else it will turn around to bite you on the ass.

[StarryNite]

34. What do you mean?

Do you mean if we are glad the Earth is rid of a vile person then we might die too? Heck, we're all going to die. But he chose to live the life he lived. And he was not a good person.

[Horse with no Name]

6. Actually you got it backwards

What happened to him WAS karma for his bad deeds.
We didn't cause it. We didn't wish for it. It just happened.

[BurtWorm]

12. I think you're right.

If you want to be spoken well of when you're dead, don't spend your whole life pissing people off.

[kestrel91316]

19. Thank you. Pretty much sums it up.

[northofdenali]

30. Amen, BurtWorm, amen.

I don't wish death on anyone, but his karma finally overrode his dogma.

[malaise]

37. It's that simple really n/t

[NoPasaran]

24. How was that karma for his bad deeds?

I think it was "karma" for too much biscuits and gravy. Karma for his bad deeds would have involved lightning or being run over by an armored car full of money or something like that.

[FloridaJudy]

49. We're all going to die

That's not "Karma", that's physiologic inevitability.

Karma doesn't mean "fate". It's the Sanskrit word for "action". I guess the Christian equivalent would be "you reap what you sow". I don't rejoice in anyone's death, but right now Jerry is reaping a lot of the sentiments he spewed out during his life.

I just hope he learns more the next time around.

[glitch]

53. Well said. Plus I like your sig :) nt

[Individualist]

40. Exactly!

[MissB]

7. Bwahahahahaha

[Beelzebud]

8. Oh no! this will be awful for my horoscope and my tarot card reading!

[MyNameGoesHere]

9. Karma.... Oh is that you Earl? How's the list going? n/t

[Zywiec]

10. Agreed.

Are there anymore pictures of sad, crying children we can post? That's also always funny.

I could never dance on anyone's grave.

[TheWebHead]

11. days like this are a horrible time to visit DU

as days were prominent liberals who die hurts the goals of the freepers... people should keep opinions about policy and beliefs separate from news of his death, but way too many people here will ignore that reasonable advice.

[RedEarth]

13. I agree...but this is DU.....

[enid602]

14. heart

I just wonder if the Washington Madam is the straw that broke the camel's heart. She continues to threaten to name names.

[hlthe2b]

15. Bad Karma comes from wishing the living ill

No one here wished him to die (or at least no one that I saw). Failure to grieve at his natural passing hardly constitutes behavior that would bring on bad karma. Ditto, those who factually and unemotionally review his own public statements and stances during his life.

I was raised on guilt, believe me, but I think some here are taking it just a bit too far.

[Lobster Martini]

16. Sarcasm and mockery are OK, but many of the Falwell threads are just tasteless.

If I had seen Falwell changing a tire, I would have kicked him into the passing lane in front of a truck. But cheering the death of a human being is just plain wrong. Doesn't matter whether you liked him or not, it's simply wrong.

[Arugula Latte]

29. Whaa? You would have tried to kill him, but that's better than cheering his death?

me no understand ... :shrug:

[spoony]

17. k and r.

[Eurobabe]

18. my karma ran over my dogma

:eyes:

[corkhead]

42. !

:rofl:

[mitchum]

20. I'm not worried...since I'm not SUPERSTITIOUS

[AlCzervik]

22. Seriously i agree, this is Jerry's judgment day, big old Karma train coming for him.

[karlrschneider]

23. Yeah plus we might piss off Santa and the Tooth Fairy...

:eyes:

[Javaman]

25. Isn't casting judgement bad karma?

chew on that for a while.

[devilgrrl]

26. Yes, so many here have called for the extermination of gays and women...

good luck with future broad-brush statements :hi:

[Lars39]

27. I get tired of people wielding the karma stick...too much like a threat.

[Book Lover]

28. And if karma described an actual phenomenon, that might be relevant

But since it doesn't, your threat is pretty empty.

[mopinko]

31. i no more believe in karma that i do in jerry's god

the universe is random. you can build relationships, and good will come of that, but some pie in the sky good deed bank account? another flavor of bullshit.

[Moochy]

39. Correction: Exotic Eastern Bullshit.

Much more attractive to those who have turned away from the dominant christian belief system. :)

[FloridaJudy]

54. No one was ever burned at the stake

For not believing in Dharma or the Tao. That makes it a lot more attractive IMHO.

[Redstone]

33. Not this time. Not for a man who was so full of hate.

Redstone

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I believe if there was karma, it was rightful...and it was in the room with the "Reverend"

at the moment of his last breath. Sorry.

[Goblinmonger]

38. I thought Falwell was a fuckwad before he died

Does my thinking that now give me any worse Karma?

[StarryNite]

41. He died, we're all gonna die

But he didn't have to live the life of the hypocritical asshole he was. That was his choice. The minute somebody dies, it doesn't turn them into good.

[EFerrari]

43. There's no bad karma in observation. n/t

[RetroLounge]

44. Falwell didn't believe in Karma...

:puke:

RL

[smoogatz]

45. Actually

there's no such thing as "good" or "bad" karma. There's just karma. That said--screw Falwell. He was a theocrat and a fascist and a duper of the poor and gullible. The world is a hell of a lot better off without him.

[KurtNYC]

46. there is a difference between happiness and hatred

never again will we have to listen to the likes of that American Taliban, terrorist-sympathizer Jerry Asshat Falwell. Surely I do not need to remind you what he had to say in the days after 2,794 of my neighbors were murdered?!

It isn't hatred that feel. It is happiness.

[lies and propaganda]

47. alot of REalism too, i love it.

[sniffa]

48. Lot's of these stupid threads out there today

good Luck with that guy...

[progressoid]

50. Good luck with Karma concerning a dead Christian? Yowza.

I think that goes beyond oxymoronic.

[StarryNite]

51. If there really was Karma,

wouldn't that arrogant, hypocrite have died a long time ago? :shrug:

[Dukkha]

52. A lot of smug self righteous posers out here today

Good luck with that. wanna cookie?

[peace frog]

55. My karma ran over your dogma

Pity. :evilgrin:

[BornagainDUer]

56. Some of the bad karmaists could be freepers trying to make

DU look bad. :tinfoilhat:

[dave123williams]

57. You could look at it as bad karma coming back around on Falwell.

[WindRavenX]

58. I don't believe in karma.

NT

[file83]

59. Oh, irony. Sweet irony.

It seems you have a thing or two to learn about "karma" and how it works.

Your post proves it.
