I never said him being dead was bad. Bin Laden being dead is pretty f***ing fabulous, I just think that real death as entertainment should have died when the Vandals sacked Rome.

Understand this: in no possible way could anyone construe Osama bin Laden's continuing to live as a positive thing. Thus, his death is a good thing. This creature was a blight on the American pysche for 10 years. His death should be celebrated evey year with parades, fireworks and remembrance of the dead of Sept 11.
Nasty-hopefully we can fit something in in november, preferably after I get back.
It's not about being "the better man". It's about not being a gaggle of crass, media-saturated children who play too much CoD. Reenacting an assassination is grim, at best, and I don't like the way it could reflect on our community if we had a "Who can kill Bin Laden the fastest" game or whatever format people want it in.Shooting your buddies and killing the bad guys, airsoft style, is nothing like reenacting the death of an actual human being. That breaks from the frame of it being a game. A number of years ago, a game company wanted to come out with a simulation of the Kennedy assassination under the guise of historical posterity. Really, it was a grim, disgusting excuse to shoot a former President in the head for shits and giggles. Pretending to put 2 in Bin Laden's head sickens me just as much because he was an actual human being. You're taking the game out of the game into some very grey territory, morally.When you go out and airsoft you are basically acting out the cold blooded killing of your friends, so I don't see how it would be much worse reenacting the death of Osama.
