Text message kills woman

Sorry to see her go and all I guess, but I really don't have sympathy for the girl. But rather one life than a whole bunch of lives I guess. I feel bad for her family though, I really do. Because even if someone you love makes the wrong choices in life, it still hurts to see it become their downfall.

Don't see the big deal you guys are making about this. People are just posting how they feel about the matter, and they're being quoted and it's like "omg that's horrible to say" or something like that. I mean, just post and go, no need to practically tell people they're horrible for thinking it's good she died or saying that she would have died either way. It's not good, but it's her own fault for choosing that path to go down in life. Point is, she died. It's not good by any stretch of the means, but none of us personally knew her, so there's not much point in us feeling sorry for her.

But I'm stating my opinion and going, so no use in quoting me and telling me I'm wrong or whatever. Just saying what I think.
 
Eh, all I have to say is that at least her perpetual downward spiral of intentions to cause deaths to more people than herself, did not. It's a pity she was going to kill herself, but really, at least no one else was harmed, human being or not, it is morally incorrect to say that her death was justified in any sense, her death was certainly brought about by the wrong reasons.

"You're wrong or whatever"....

Joking aside, I agree with what you're saying.

And looking back over the thread, it seems to me that every single post follows the same format.

Poster#1 is glad said terrorist died before killing innocent people
Click to expand...
Poster#2 is disappointed Poster#1 is glad said terrorist died, while, at the same time, agreeing that they are glad said terrorist wasn't able to kill innocent people.
Click to expand...
Poster#1 reiterates the fact that said terrorist would have killed innocent people.

Rinse and repeat.
 
I said I wasn't going to post in here, but I am compelled to now.

The loss of a human life is always sad, but for me, in this circumstance, I am not sad. This woman, if successful, could have killed many innocent lives. She could have put many families into great distress. Their holidays would have been ruined and their lives changed.

Now, for the woman, in question, who was killed, she might have a family, she might have friends, but she choose to take that path and to kill innocent people.

So, I am not sad she was killed, I am just happy that there weren't any innocent people killed in this disgusting attempt to harm others.​

You know, you could solve that little quandry by expanding on the topic and bringing in other elements of discussion, rather than simply posting something blatantly obvious.

But for the record, I agree with Gavin and Captain Fabio on this matter.
 
Let me put my feelings this way:

I am happy it was just one person instead of dozens.

But I am much more sad that it was 1 person instead of 0. I can only wish that she had decided not to do what she was planning on doing. If that had happened, there would be zero deaths in this case. *sigh*

Am I sad that a human life was lost? Yes.

Would I rather that this terrorist die in this manner than be able to take the lives of countless innocent people? Absolutely.

As unfortunate as it is, the alternative had this not happened would have been a lot worse.

This is exactly what I was trying to say.

I have no sympathy for the woman. She chose to do a stupid thing and was rewarded by that not even working correctly.
Of course, you could argue the whole religious aspect of that and how I apparently called her religion stupid but thats, for lack of a better word, stupid. I'm not saying she deserved to die, but she didn't really give herself much of a choice either.

I find any loss of human life sad. Conversely, I find it sickening that anyone would celebrate any person's death, regardless of said person's misguided notions of religion and morality. I've heard people say "we should just bomb them all to hell;" this sort of response makes me genuinely sick. Suicide bombing and similar actions are symptoms of a larger problem. Obviously people don't go blowing themselves up because they get a kick out of it, they do it because they feel something so overwhelming that the only way they feel they can make people aware of the problem is through that sort of action. I can't condone their actions; I find them as abhorrent as anyone else. However, I find the circumstances that move people to commit such actions equally horrible and sad. That's why it sickens me when people laugh about things like this. Rather than take a "well, they had it coming" attitude which only worsens the problem, perhaps the best response would be "what can we do to change the circumstances in the Middle East so people don't feel pressured to take these sort of actions?" I think that would be better for both sides. The situation there affects tens of millions of people; it's not just the victims who suffer from the problems there.

Maybe I'm being a bit idealistic, but I wish people would be more involved in bettering the world. Stuff like this would probably still happen, but I doubt to the same extent.
 
Oh.

Sucks to well, um. Dead

But it was either her, the suicide bomber who was there to murder a large group of innocents, or a large group of innocents. I'll text that suicide bomber every day. EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE UNTIL SHE LEARNS HER lesson lol.

I agree with this. It's an isolated incident that is part of a larger problem. Celebrating the death of another human being, regardless of what they or you believe, is morally repugnant.


Here's a wonderful quote that sums this situation up perfectly, via Batman Begins:

Ducard: Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share.
Bruce Wayne: That's why it's so important. It separates us from them.

It really doesn't seem like anyone is celebrating that she is dead. Seems more like they're celebrating the fact that she wasn't able to murder anyone, because she died. It's not the death here that's good, it's that a terrorist bombing was averted.

...Which if her death was what averted the bombing is a good thing.

livewire I certainly didn't see my post as such, I was just have a discussion and wondering how people would feel bad for her, especially since no one would for others such as Hitler.

"Feeling sorry for Hitler" is vastly inappropriate and contributes nothing to this discussion. Either post constructively and debate, or don't. Your choice.

I really don't think this is any reason to say "oh what a relief, no more people died." A woman was killed because it's a damn war. It's rather sad. Terrorist/murderer of millions or not, still a human being.

Hmm...
And care to answer me this? How the hell can you call someone who kills and hurts (some people get hurt for a while, some for the rest of their lives) other people. Really if I take it to a bigger scale it can be applied to Hitler as well.

Even if she was intending to kill others, there's still the chance that she could have changed her mind before actually going ahead with this. It's a slight chance, but hey, we can't really see into what could have happened, but... I'm just disappointed that she died in that way. Glad she didn't kill people, but there's still the possibility that she could've backed out, got rid of the mobile phone (or let it explode somewhere, where it won't hurt people).

Idk I guess I should see this in another way, but really, it makes me sad that her life was cut short before she had the change to change her mind.

Hahaha sorry for being rude but this is absurd. yeah there's a very good chance that she will suddenly rethink it and won't do it. Don'tcha think?

Look above. I'll repeat it: If you take it to a bigger scale, it can be applied to Hitler as well. Still a human being!
 
Sad, really. Even though she could have killed many, it is still quite sad to hear that.

Yet, I suppose now at least there is a point to SPAM messages now. On a satirical note, the goverment could use them as terrorist defence.

Hi. Look above, and read the "Off-topic posting and spam" part. Seeing that is what the above is.

And no, it has nothing to do with Hitler. "A bigger scale" is an entirely subjective and esoteric term.

And no, It can't.

Also, despite what horrible things we do to each other, they're still human beings. That doesn't change. I suggest you read that quote, you might learn something.

I'm quite happy she died, after what she was planning to do. Thank God for the text message and good thing she blew up early. Happy New Year for her. imo people like that don't deserve to live. She could have killed hundreds of people :/

I have no sympathy for bad intended terrorists like her.

Oh, how nice of you to wish death on another person. That's absolutely disgusting to say. "Thanking God" for someones death is also a terrible thing to say. Now yes, her death prevented dozens, even hundreds more deaths, but still. Death is death, and regardless of this outcome, people died because of this. The argument for "I'd rather have one die than 100 is flawed because, people still end up dead, regardless. Isn't the point to prevent death?
