How can I get him to be happy about bin laden's death?

[Electric Monk]

1. Why does he need to be happy about bin laden's death?

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

2. By giving that action some value to make the world better,

by removing the wrongful programs and thoughts that used him as a symbol to remove rights and create fear.

3. He is either happy or he isn't.

His choice, I would think.

4. He's German

he's not destined to be "happy" ;-)

5. Your frame is everything

If your frame is OBL and Al Qaeda are solely responsible, you will be jubilant at his death. If you suspect other interests and parties, including some part of the US government, were involved, then not so much.

6. 9/11 wasn't the only incident he was (or was suspected)

of involvement in. WTC 1993, the Cole, numerous Embassy bombings... Even if you leave 9/11 out entirely and assume he was a scapegoat, he was still a mass murderer.

7. You don't

The unfortunate reality is that you're going to end up argueing with an idiot who will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

10. I feel I have common sense and I am a "Truther"

Just because some of us aren't happy about the 9/11 Commissions end result doesn't make us illogical. I mean after all the lies we've been fed, some of us have studied 9/11 and we feel the evidence doesn't hold water. We don't understand why the majority of people don't question anything about 9/11. It was after all under Bush (WMD's) that it happened. PNAC only throws more fuel onto this fire. And now we have prisoners in Gitmo, but they will not be tried in our courts. What are they afraid of? We've held other trials for terrorist. I do admit I can go overboard talking about 9/11. I am just tired of our freedoms being taken away because of it. I, we need more answers. The video's are out there, or lack there of (Pentagon) and the governments story just doesn't add up. And now with Osama's death, no trial.

Arguing with a non truther can be like arguing with a Repuke. LOL! I try and go in the direction of how our government didn't react rather than the "No Planes" theory. I could go on, but a lot of us truthers end up on deaf ears. People who haven't spent time going through video's of interviews with firemen and witnesses just feel it's ok to call us nuts. I liked the TV show Columbo in the 70's and 9/11 just brings out the Columbo in me or Joe Friday (Dragnet just the facts). I want more answers. We want a trial. Transparency is good for 9/11 too. Just think common sense in how our government reacted to 9/11. Read some stories or watch some interviews. Does Washington D.C. have military bases with weapons? Why weren't they aimed at the skies over D.C on 9/11? Second plane hit second tower 9:03am Third plane hit Pentagon around 9:46 am. Is this how government works? Just do the time line. Is this acceptable? Did heads roll for this fuck up? I don't recall that. But I do recall them saying not to blame anyone. See all better. Only one video of the Pentagon being hit even though the Pentagon must have a shit load of camera's everywhere. Is that asking too much? Apparently so. Those who want more, are sent to the dungeon. I will admit I thought Bin Laden had been dead all this time. I will admit when I am wrong.

11. Why would you care if he is happy about it or not?

Have him listen to this badass mix and he'll be happy then
