User blog comment:Messi1983/Bin Laden death and the Middle East/@comment-5151355-20110517174709

Well my opinion on this is that, sure Bin Laden is dead which I would say is deserved because of all of those innocent people he killed. But then again I think it is no reason to run around cheering and gloating that he's dead because celebrating someone's death as if it were some holiday just seems to be such a barbaric thing to do, in my opinion. Sure he's done a lot of bad things to deserve it but he's still a human and it just doesn't seem right to celebrate death like that to me. I mean maybe it's just me that feels this way. I'm the sort of kid that tries to appreciate and understand all life. I even found an ant in my math class and rather than killing it, I brought it to safety (letting it crawl on my arm all the while because I've never been afraid to handle insects). Whenever I see a spider in my house, I let it go in a plant outside. One time I caught a cricket in my house and I let it free instead of feeding it to my tarantula or my scorpions. If an insect bites me or stings me I never blame it on the insect, I blame it on myself. So to celebrate someone dying (even if they took the lives of many others) like fans in a football game just seems wrong to me.
