Well, well, Reba. That's not a nice wish. I would never say that about nobody. It's God's choice.

Umm, yeah. I don't think it's a good thing to be GLAD someone is dead or happy they are gone. It's a person's perogative to feel however they want, but to VOICE that opinion isn't always wise. It's best to just hope that Arafat is being dealt with for his "sins", and leave it at that.
 
I dont care if y'all think its terrible to be happy when someones dead for a good cause.. As for me, I am glad that Arafat's gone.. He was a pain in the ass due to a process to peace in the Middle East, and he was an egyptian for the pete's sake so he barged into Palenstine if it was his own country

Good point!
 
hey i vote for bush

the reason i like him i know it sounds crazy but bush is trying to stop terrorists from growing, i would rather have war over there than rather here, just like hitler he got big becuz we didnt have enough tax payer to biult an army tanks you name , so experience from all is better to stop them or otherwise we will pay more than bush is asking now,SO therefore reba is right,so iam glad he is dead.Therefore we dont mourn him. :applause:

On the TV news I could see how the Palestinians showed their respect for their dead leader. They rioted, they burned tires in the street, they turned cars over and set fire to them, they shot guns into the air. (Typical grief behavior, right? How many of your family behaved that way when a loved one died?)

Now I am watching the "funeral". Very quiet and respectful like the funerals we have in our country for our leaders. Just like the dignified funerals for JFK and Reagan, right? Noooooo. Screaming mobs of people swarming the barriers, shooting guns into the air. They surrounded the helicopter carrying Arafat's casket, and they can't even get out of the chopper. Very respectful. Ha!

This reminds me of the "funeral" for Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran. The people swarmed the funeral procession, grabbed the casket, tipped it over, and dumped his body on the ground. Khomeini was the Iranian religious and political leader. The people tore apart his body at his funeral. I saw it on live TV. Oh yes, very respectful way to treat a dead leader.

The Palestinians had to cancel Arafat's funeral ceremony because of the riot. They will now try bury him as quickly as possible, just to get him in the ground. Lovely.

Before I start I will say that I am not a fan of Arafat, But...I cannot believe my own eyes (absolutely ridiculous). While I do not take joy at anyone's death; I gotta say I am really shame of some of you people. Just because you do not like this person that doesn't mean you have the right to say "Oh good he is dead" "Do not mourn Arafat" It just seems wrong to celebrate someone's death. It isn't our postion to judge what he had done. It's in the hands of God; whatever judgement awaits him.

Well i am an atheist, so therefore i dont believe in god.. I have a right to say whatever i want to.. Of course its a terrible thing when someone dies, but sometimes when it comes to a view when that person had done something that was wrong and if it werent for that person then things, events, people, and history will be a lot better off. Jospeh Stalin, Adolf Hitlers and etc comes to mind. Arafat was a perfect example.. He barged into Palenstinians business with Israel while he was an egyptian which he claimed he born in Jerusalem which it was not true. He did it because he hated Isarael with a passion, he was a pain in the ass when it comes to Middle East peace progess, i'd bet my left nut if it were not for him, there might be a palenstine state already in the Middle East but thanks to him and his radical islam beliefs, the Palenstinians suffered greatly under him, he stole millions, used their sons and daughters to blew up innocent jew civilians for his cause, he was nothing but a murderous and ruthless man so therefore once again, I'm GLAD that he died! As if you believed in god and etc then that's fine but dont go around and tell us that its wrong for us to be happy because you believed in something that we don't.. Again this is not to flame you but bring up my thoughts :) so cheers
 
Yup, the world's better off without this butcher.

Did I say that? It isn't about God it's about respecting those who passed on. Even through if you do not like this person. What if someone say that about you when you passed on? I am sure you wouldn't even like it yourself.


but dont go around and tell us that its wrong for us to be happy

It is the same thing I would say about Reba's open thread "Do not mourn for him" I am not saying I do mourn for him but, I don't say I'm all thrill he is dead. It is just not a nice thing to say about anybody no matter who they are.
 
Cheri ~ I do agree with you.

Saying that you're glad hes dead, good riddance, yah, yah... makes a mockery of humankind. I believe that if someone dies, you show respect for mankind. You do not say bad things of the deceased, but do try to find words of respect, comfort or sympathy for the family.

It does not matter if Arafat was a cheater, liar, thief, murderer or whatever...you bring yourself and those around yourself when you defile the person in death. You are showing your true colors then, by showing disrespect to his/her family.

As for me, this is what I believe. Arafat is dead. I give my sympathy to his family, to his country, to those people that are mourning him.

That is what I feel.
 
:gpost: DD, I agree with everything you stated above, no one should be glad that someone is dead no matter what the person has done....
