Isn’t this trolling?
Don’t trolls get banned?
Fucking insensitive moronic loser.
Bin Laden? Naw, he looks kinda grimy in all the newscasts I’ve seen of him.
I always privately though Josef Mengele was somewhat good-looking…sputter in a completely disgusting and repellant manner, of course! I swear!
Howyadoin,

Uh, can we do something about this meeshkeen kid? I love reading the boards, but this is just fucking up my universe.
meeshkeen, you’re getting on everyone’s nerves. Allow me to explain something to you:
Fuck off.
I don’t know what message it is you’re trying to tell me, but I don’t care.
Go away kid, you bother me.
meeshkeen:
This is the SDMB.

Coming this fall on Fox: Who Wants to Marry a Mass Murderer?

WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING???

Personally, I like Lucky’s take on Osama B.
Osama B is a small-time military commander with primitive training camps and no industrial infrastructure to speak of. He’s already blown through much of his personal fortune and is running out of money. He has some financial backing and some state support, but he is operating from half-way around the world and his resources are ultimately limited. He himself is easily contained. Clinton managed to keep him somewhat at bay by lobbing an occasional missile at his infrastructure–his training camps and a factory or two. A focused effort of the sort being undertaken now will flush him out sooner or later. The talking heads generally think it won’t be difficult to box him in or capture him outright, given enough time and a real international effort.
Much more tricky is his status as a religious leader with a fundamentalist philosophy that espouses suicide attacks. Even after he’s gone, fanatics will continue to find his religious teachings attractive. Furthermore, there are already hidden cells of militants lodged in countries all over the world, including the U.S. They are going to be tough to track down and wipe out, and it’s going to require a long-term effort and a lot of vigilance.
Still, even that can be handled. The Muslim population in the U.S. is fairly small and easily identifiable. The terrorists are operating far from home and have very limited resources. Using jet airliners as bombs was a smart idea, but I doubt that that particular trick is going to work many more times. In a way, it was pretty low-tech–it was just a bunch of guys with knives (and a lot of resolve). They even had to get their flight training in the U.S.
Yes, the terrorists scored big this time. But the tally was still only 5,000 deaths compared to 41,500 highway fatalities in the U.S. in 1998. It’s a genuine tragedy of the first order, but it didn’t weaken the U.S. militarily. If anything, it just stirred a hornet’s nest. Ultimately, the effect of this particular act of terrorism will be the opposite of what was intended. Given Osama B’s disdain for Western culture, he likely thought that a splashy terrorist act would break the back of the jaded and moribund U.S. outright. Like Timothy McVeigh and a lot of other terrorists, he probably figured that one or two good sucker punches at the right time and the U.S. will collapse of its own weight and roll over and die. But he’ll learn otherwise.
So I’m kind of on Lucky’s side. Her observation shows a certain amount of disdain. She’s not horrified by Osama B or swept up in the near-universal shock at this small-time military commander. It sounds as though she looks at him like a bug under a microscope and sees clearly his various features: Yes, he’s a mass murderer, but he’s also a good-looking fellow. No harm in giving credit where credit’s due. The main thing is to see him as he is: A pain in the ass, a source of much real grief for many families in New York and D.C., but ultimately not someone to get real worked up about. It’s going to take some time and effort to get a handle on the problem, and maybe we have to look at the balance between civil liberties and national security. The terrorists might even score another splashy high-body-count incident or two before we get them under full control. Credit where credit’s due–militant Islamic fundamentalism is a force to be reckoned with, and it’s going to take a while to wear the fundamentalists down and demonstrate to them that they’re wasting their time. But we’re a big, strong nation and we’ll figure out how to handle the problem.
In summary, I understand those who recoil at the tactlessness of Lucky’s comment so soon after such a tragedy. But personally I respect an irreverent sense of humor at times like this more than I respect horror and shock. Frankly, I don’t think Osama B. is all that big a deal. Lucky’s comment tells me that she’s not all that impressed by the dude as a threat to her own security–and hence as a threat to the nation’s security–and I respect that kind of attitude. Hey, I’m a guy, but even I have to admit that Osama B isn’t that bad-looking.
What else can I say–we all handle tragedy in different ways. Personally, I like irreverent humor as a coping mechanism. To me, it says to the enemy, “Fuck you. I’m not impressed.”
Pun intended, one hopes? 
Kind of like the frog-in-a-blender or hamster-in-the-microwave thingy?

Jesus christ, what a stupid fucking bitch.
So she praised his looks, so what? She didn’t say she wanted to marry him. She can separate her visual perception from her emotional perception, good for her. Anyway, he looks zany to me; always smiling like a child while clutching an assault weapon.
also, why is this in the Pit?
And think what dating him would be like:
- don’t talk, because the education of women is illegal in Afghanistan. You’ll likely get a beating, or a stoning;
- sex will be real fun. Although getting banged through a hole in a sheet might take some of the romance out of it;
- he’ll never know whether you’re hot or not, since you’re forced to wear a full chador, with only mesh over your eyes preventing you from looking like Caspar on Halloween;
- you get to share time with his purported three other wives;
- you’re probably not going to live long, 'cause he’s probably going up in Napalm real soon.
