nailit - ////In my view, to take pleasure in the death of another person diminishes the individual who holds that view//
Why does it? //

If you need to ask the question, I suggest you don't share my view.

I think rejoicing in death is nasty and small-minded, and does nothing to improve the society in which we live.

[nailit]

You do take the moral high ground at times andy. A couple of barbaric scumbags have got what they deserve, why not rejoice? Who are you to say that other ABers here have been 'diminished' because they don't share your view?

So, if ISIS and terrorism is the substance of the situation, you are not entitled to rejoice at the death of ISIS supporters, and then claim moral superiority when ISIS supporters rejoice in the deaths of innocent westerners.

There's not many actually 'rejoicing' and as far as I can tell only 1 trying to take the moral high ground.

Gosh....have we got to that stage of a thread already?

The bit that becomes the 'Andy Hughes explain yourself!!' part.....

It's terribly tedious in its constant occurrence.

[Baldric]

Tedious, isn't it?

[TWR]

A.H. Have you a family? how many in your family? would you have said that if your family / Friends had been in Tunisia, at that hotel & been Murdered by these scum? In case you have me wrong, I do not thrive on peoples deaths, not these evil people I don't, I'D like to hear more of the evil scum IS blowing them self's up the better, I don't think I'm on my own thinking that.

Good, two less.

2 terrorists killed .....whats not to like ?
10:04 Thu 02nd Mar 2017

I would rejoice make no doubt about it, they are nothing but evil, 2 less to keep.
10:35 Thu 02nd Mar 2017

I’ll shed no tears over them. ‘Misguided’ they were not.
10:49 Thu 02nd Mar 2017

I rejoice because some families that's lost family members have been vindicated. Hallelujah.

Ungrateful turd is where he belongs - dead!!

And as for 'taking the moral high ground' - I am simply offering a point of view - as are all of the above, so how is it that I am 'taking the moral high ground', and the are not? I have gone to considerable lengths to discuss and explain my view - if anyone is taking the moral high ground, it is any and all of the above.

[youngmafbog]

Having ploughed my way through pages of a strange view (with copious amounts of C/p) I still stick by what I aid. "Good, 2 less"

If anyone seriously considers this rejoicing then I really think they need their head looking into.

[andy-hughes]

nailit - //You do take the moral high ground at times andy. //

I disagree. As I have pointed out, my view on the celebration of the deaths of strangers is wrong.

That's my view, it is not better, or higher, or superior, or morally correct, it is simply my view, and I expressed it as everyone else did.

// A couple of barbaric scumbags have got what they deserve, why not rejoice? //

Because rejoicing reduces you to their level when they rejoice over killing people.

//Who are you to say that other ABers here have been 'diminished' because they don't share your view? //

I am expressing my view, to which I am entitled, You don't have to agree with it, but that does not mean I am not able to express it.

[andy-hughes]

TWR - //would you have said that if your family / Friends had been in Tunisia, at that hotel & been Murdered by these scum? //

This point is raised every time a discussion of this type comes up, and my answer is always the same - yes I have family and friends, and I don't know what I would say if they were involved, because they weren't, so it's academic, and pointless to ponder and speculate in that way.

[youngmafbog]

AH, I take deep offense at you pulling my post out as rejoicing.

You are really odd sometimes.

[andy-hughes]

YMB - //Having ploughed my way through pages of a strange view (with copious amounts of C/p) I still stick by what I aid. "Good, 2 less"

OK, let's put the 'rejoicing' aspect aside shall we?

You think it's good that two people have died violently, I think it is not good that anyone dies violently. The rest is merely semanticc

[andy-hughes]

YMB - //AH, I take deep offense at you pulling my post out as rejoicing. //

Don't jump on bandwagons then.

[TWR]

Bye Bye, keep looking over your shoulder when you are in the large shopping malls with your family.

[Zacs-Master]

'OK, let's put the 'rejoicing' aspect aside shall we?'

Which roughly translates as 'OK, I was wrong but i'm not directly admitting it'

Best polish that halo a bit harder AH.

I wonder what the victors of WW2 would have though about anyone not rejoicing the death of Adolph Hitler?

I know, I was there, they would have been classed as traitors.

[RandyMarsh]

We have diminished ISIS effectiveness and I think that is something to rejoice.

[jackthehat]

///I wonder what the victors of WW2 would have though about anyone not rejoicing the death of Adolph Hitler?

Most people were rejoicing the end of the war.....not Hitler's death per se, although that the two coincided so closely was fortunate.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //I wonder what the victors of WW2 would have though about anyone not rejoicing the death of Adolph Hitler?

But this is not then, this is now - so your point is meaningless - as it always is when you drag the war into your discussions only to remind us that you were there, and adopt a sense of superiority because of it.

[Baldric]

I served in The Falklands and one or two other interesting locations.
I have killed, it was my Job, but I did not see the death of an enemy as a reason to rejoice, just count myself lucky it wasn't me and get on with the job in hand, which is pretty much the way most of dealt with it.
I am not joining Andy on the moral High Ground, just stating a fact.
