Agreeing with Adrian Peterson on how the NFL is like slavery and his tweets about killing Bin Laden.. Of course he's entitled to his opinion but he didn't realize/care that it made the team look bad by those who disagreed with him. Well you're probably super-sensitive about it reflects on the team, but I'd disagree. However, seeing this... www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/03/rashard-mendenhall-osama-bin-laden_n_856926.html"Plenty of athletes tweeted their excitement at the news of Osama bin Laden's death. Rashard Mendenhall, however, wasn't convinced a celebration was in order. "What kind of person celebrates death?" the Pittsburgh Steelers running back tweeted. "It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side..." He also expressed his opinions on whether the planes that hit the World Trade Center on September 11 caused them to collapse."... I say good f%#king riddance. My bad, or ignorance. Are you saying good f%#king riddance to Mendenhall or Bin Laden? I don't get why what Mendenhall said is so controversial. I agree that it seems weird to celebrate the death of one man. I can see a feeling of relief with a major terrorist being out of the picture, but was Mendenhall so wrong to point out that we are being fed the news through America's filter and we don't know the whole story. He never said Osama is innocent... the majority of his posts just suggest that people think a bit and consider that there are more than one side to a story. I loved his article and I think he has his priorities in order. He played the game he loves and he made some big money, but he is now getting out before his body and mind deteriorate too much. I also respect that he loves the game but doesn't want to be an entertainer.

These two posts seem very different. Yes they are, thought I made that very clear. Was there another point? For someone who seems to not like actual debate, you say some very controversial things. That's all.

I don't care if he had a point. I hope Bin Laden is burning in hell, and as you might suspect I don't believe in that, but if there is, I hope so. I as a very peaceful person, would volunteer to physically torture him myself, 1st in line. Totally respect Mendy's attitude towards the game and seemingly life otherwise.

It was not controversial, you seem to like to make it so. It was 'ambivalent'. Who said I don't like to debate? I don't like to argue with idiots, but I enjoy an intelligent debate.

Literally everything said here is -very- controversial. Although I'm sure you're not aware of what you're really saying. I mean do you know what it takes to truly torture another human being? I don't. The fact Saska responded the way he did implies I wasn't the only one who thought it was controversial I'm not sure if you're implying I'm an idiot or not. You could clarify.

No, IDK what it takes, but for those 1000s of Americans dead from the Towers, I could say yeah. Teach me if I'm wrong, but I'll volunteer. Much as i usually agree with Saska on most stuff, my thoughts are my own. Not calling you or anyone an idiot, just that some arguments are intellectually stimulating, and some are futile. Hey, I might be on the futile side sometimes. lol

From America's side he was a terrorist, if he was in fact behind 9/11, but in the eyes of many other nations America is no better... Wars based on faulty pretence have been the cause of many more deaths than we saw in 9/11. All of this fighting and killing in the name of revenge is just sad. Celebrating the murder of anyone is horrible in my mind. Torturing anyone is absurd. All the global terrorists just need to grow up and find some respect for humanity, and that includes Al-Queda, US government and any other war crazed groups.

I know this doesn't make anything true, but a lot of people knew/thought Bin Laden was gonna do something like that years before 9/11. Totally agree on false pretenses, but we've usually done it without the intent of mass destruction and killing innocent people, although there are always civilian casualties. I see nothing wrong with celebrating the death of pure evil - small price to pay when you take into account not just the lives lost, but the pain and suffering of all the lives they touched. To each their own.

I told all of you before. Bin Laden was a CIA operative. Real name Tim Osman. He was the patsy for 9/11. Another Oswald for the powers that be.
