Someone tell me why...

[NEOBuckeye]

We always lose the good ones. People like Steve Irwin. And yet others, like Dick Cheney, Rove and Co. linger on for so long?

1. Because Cheney and cabal

suck the lifeblood from everyone else.
It keeps them young.

2. Devil protects his own?

.........only the 'good die young'?.......Dunno...too early to think clearly....

3. Trying to think back to the last time a bad one died before his time...

...Lee Atwater? That seems like a heck of a long time ago. Maybe they will themselves into sticking around harder than other peole do since they know no good is waiting for them in the "next life" if there is such a thing?

4. Because our god is a mean and vengeful god.

sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God. He's all pissed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?

If you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then you would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and help just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears, that give God his great power.

6. IMHO

The god of Abraham is a real jerk. I can't wait until humanity kicks his butt out of power.

Welcome to DU :hi:

Or is it flame bait?

5. From what I read, Irwin wasn't a saint either

However he did entertain kids but he was a supporter of John Howard, one of Bush's war buddies
