Dinapal - //If one can't feel sorrow for the loss of a terrorist, and I assume that means his/her demise,what death would one advocate if they object to the violence of their death? Death by drone missile or death by bullet/bomb are all violent. We can't just let them die peacefully in their sleep if capturing them first is not possible. //

From my point of view, it is not that I think people shouldn't 'not feel sorrow' for the death of a terrorist, howsoever caused - it's the fact that people actually feel a sense of pleasure and satisfaction that I cannot agree with, because I think that brings us down to their level, and we are above that way of viewing other human beings.

Not rejoicing in the death of a terrorist is not the same as wishing that the terrorist was still alive and still killing innocent people.

It is simply accepting that we are locked in a horrible endless war of attrition with these people, and the death of one of them is preferable to the death of one of us, but that in itself is not a cause for celebration.

What about the last word?

... unbelievable!

How many times do you need the 'So' rule explaining AOG? ///

The rules seem to change, according to the mood of it's originator.

[-Talbot-]

Phew ... Randy isn't part of a gang!

May I apologise, Randy for my earlier outburst ... I was lead astray by wot I read.

[RandyMarsh]

Lol, Mick, we have been buddies for a long time, I know you were joking.

if I did want to join the gang thou, what would I do?

/// OMG Randy has joined AOG's gang :0/ ///

I don't do gangs, it is just that most of us live in the real world, and not some far off Utopia, where the wearing of rose-tinted glasses is compulsory.

AOG - //The rules seem to change, according to the mood of it's originator. //

The rule is as constant as the northern star - the only variances are the ways in which some can misinterpret it, and apply it incorrectly.

I wouldn't know Randy ... I sail this ship alone.

[Baldric]

Only way to travel Bill.

There's actually no 'rule' about using the word so.

It's just something which someone finds annoying and who would probably like it to be a rule.

[Samjenko]

Ah so.

[andy-hughes]

Zacs Master - //It's just something which someone finds annoying and who would probably like it to be a rule. //

I find it amusing rather than annoying, and I wouldn't 'like it to be a rule' - it is a rule!!!!

[andy-hughes]

Thank you allen - that encapsulates absolutely my view to perfection.

[Zacs-Master]

Andy, could you point me to the 'so' rule?

Zacs-Master - //Andy, could you point me to the 'so' rule? //

I think you took my last post a little too literally - it is just a joke which I occasionally have with other AB'ers - it is obviously not an 'official' rule.

[hereIam]

SO, to reiterate, I rejoice when terrorists die, if this makes me less than human in some abers eyes (lol) then so be it, I do not care. I hope lots more die soon and in horrible ways too before they have the chance to kill me and mine in the horrible ways of their choice. My last word on the matter and I most definitely won't be reading any more of a_h's permanently repeated comments ...

[Zacs-Master]

Glad that's cleared up then.

everyone.....you're ok to use 'so'.
