Society & Culture Is it wrong that feel really happy that someone I know was bashed to death?

[CLUBMEDhurst]

No problem OP just as long as you don't mind if someone else jumps for joy at your untimely death.

You know something we don't?

 

[Simple Jack]

You know something we don't?

Only what he's planning....

 

[cats2rise]

In regards to the OP, I dont know whether 'happy' is the right word.

I remember one particular kid in high school always used to pick on people, and one of his victims said to me once "Its not that I would be happy if he died. I just would not care enough about him to have an emotional response."

OP is so emo it makes me sad.

I do not blame him or anyone now for my own choices even thought I didn't feel I had no other option back then. I was responsible for my own actions and for all the upset my actions have now caused other people over the years. For that I will never truely forgive myself.

And now you may never know that your bully felt the same way about his childhood decisions.

 

[LouisCK]

People are probably the only truly renewable (and hence worthless) things on earth.

I don't take any huge glee out of most people dying, but if its someone like Ronald Regan or George Bush, I'm pretty happy when they croak.

Lol. Emo's make you sad. Poor sad angry clown. Dont cry your makeup will run.

Can imagine you getting pissed off when you heard Bin Laden got killed. It was bad enough you where never given a chance to find out if Hitler regretted his decisions.

Yes. I was disappointed with what they did to Bin Laden. I was in the States not long after the incident and found the reaction there very distasteful. As for Hitler comparisons, sounds like you've really cast this bully of yours in the leading villain role of your life. I reckon maybe you should take a look at some kids of similar age today and see that's what he was back then ... just a stupid kid, most probably with issues.

Sounds like a lot of failures were involved in your situation, from the failure of his upbringing, to the failure of your school to keep him line there and even your own failure for not standing up for yourself. I know that doesn't sound very fair and we're meant to be civilised and all that, but at some levels, the law of the jungle still reigns and for me high school was one of those places where you needed to take a stand and create your own boundaries.

The comment you've replied to was related to your admission of having hurt others. So does that make you Stalin to your bully's Hitler? Someone who should be cast off this world without a second thought. I just thought that if you realised the error of your ways, wouldn't you rather have seen this guy achieve a similar realisation of how poor a human being he was and try to rectify it rather than just die?

 

[LouisCK]

I also think its not really fair to claim happiness from it unless you did the deed yourself. Or at least were prepared to.

OP is bullying the English language, watch for karma...

I am truly sorry. I have experienced this karma you speak of already for bullying the English language. I have sat in the collingwood cheer squad.

You had 33 days, 19 hours and 51 minutes, and that's the best you could come up with...

I could have tried be funny, creative or clever. However I felt I'd just tell the truth.

 

[thedevilsowne]

Yes. I was disappointed with what they did to Bin Laden. I was in the States not long after the incident and found the reaction there very distasteful.

Really? I felt more of a why? Why do they hate us so much?

As for Hitler comparisons, sounds like you've really cast this bully of yours in the leading villain role of your life. I reckon maybe you should take a look at some kids of similar age today and see that's what he was back then ... just a stupid kid, most probably with issues.

He had issues? Well I guess that makes everything fine then.

Yes take a stand, good idea. I will just go back in time an do that. If fact since I can do that I will also change all the other bullshit things in my life. An then not have to have to point out to you right now that saying I should have made a stand is blatantly obvious.

I would say I have some similarity Stalin, I do like Vodka, but he was by far not the most damaging or influential person in my life.
I barely even gave his existence a I moments thought. Besides when someone mention him.

Wow, that a pretty messed up view of the world you got there buddy. You may be a sociopath.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

He was the high school bully. He would pick on anyone smaller than him. Once he picked on the wrong person an got beat up. After that he would only pick on people when his group of boys was with him. He was the type of loser that hangs out at train stations . At school if anyone did anything to him he would tell on his mummy who was a teacher at the school.
He was a drug dealer who beat up on his girlfriend who he got hooked on ice. She was 10 years younger than him. I have never met a worse person in my life.

So are you asking if it's wrong that YOU feel happy that someone you know was bashed to death?

And is this a rhetorical question, or did this bashing actually happen?

 

[Natho]

Sounds like a pretty horrible human.

Culture.

Oh wait, this isn't the AFL Boards.....ermmm...uuh.

Culture.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

Yes, it is wrong for you to feel 'really happy' that someone was beaten to death. Regardles of what this person did to you or others, he has a family and friends that cared for him and loved him - they are the ones who are suffering, not him. So effectively you are rejoicing in the pain of people who never wronged you.

Yes it really happened

Who was he? Wouldnt we have read about it in the papers if someone was bashed to death?

As someone who was bulled heavily in high school, I feel like I can relate somewhat. You feel happier that this tosser was killed because he actively ruined your life, and that of plenty of other people around you. I don't really blame you for it.

 

[Whats a Battle]

Hmmm, talking of morons:

I smell christianity a mile off. Targeting the low hanging fruit I see. i.e. people who are vulnerable.

You're confusing Christianity with Protestantism/Evangelicalism.

I understand your problem with Protestants, who are hypocrites that prey on the weak and vulnerable in all sorts of situations, but don't lump Orthodoxy/Catholicism/Anglicanism in with them. It's insulting.

Catholics would never prey on the weak and vulnerable
