To answer your questions: no and no. I’m an SFS student and I hate that sort of “irony.” I probably don’t fit the stereotype you expected. I’m not telling others how they should react to the event. bin Laden certainly got what he deserved, but I refuse to celebrate a death, especially in the feeling of revenge. It’s disappointing to see that “either with us or against us” trope again. This isn’t a matter of patriotism, it’s a moral question.

because it’s something that the President promised to do 10 years ago. this is a symbol of overcoming. this isn’t something that you’ll understand, because either people are effusively patriotic (everyone who was there, the majority of the student body), or you’re not.

two questions: you wear jean shorts because it’s “ironic,” don’t you? and are you an english or sociology major?

why does the killing of Osama necessitate a celebration of “America”? why is this a foregone conclusion for so many people? I don’t see how this killing brings closure, this is not the same as V-J day (which was a celebration of PEACE). Celebrate however you want.

@Jacob

You couldn’t be more right. Anyone who takes issue with the celebrations of Sunday night is a self righteous knob. This was not a celebration of a man’s death – it was a celebration of America. We aren’t tied together by a common religion, ancestry, or race – but each and every American believes in the power of our resolve and the ability to overcome.

I started one of the national anthems close to the fence with the help of a former NY firefighter. After it was over, he clapped me on the back and said “thank you.”

This is America, whether you like it or not. Love it or leave it.

@a reminder:

Just trying to keep you either honest or educated. You know MLK never applied those thoughts, and never would apply those thoughts to someone who slaughtered a 2 year old girl on her way to Disney World. MLK would have said “’bout time you got that fucker”

@ a reminder:

Your MLK quote is a fake – he never said that. (It apparently was just “created” yesterday on the net.)
