OK, this topic spawned in another thread (which is seemingly spiraling out of control). I'm starting this thread hopefully to start a calmer and more rational discussion.

So, do you think it's right to celebrate someone's death? It's an interesting question for me. For me personally I find death to be a cop out for things as victory can only be achieved with a change of mind and not death. I understand the joy, I'm sure I'd feel a certain twang of happiness if certain people copped it but then I'd feel annoyed again as nothing would have changed.

I partially agree with both sides in the previous debate (though I didn't actually know who the person being talked about was!) as I do agree people should be happy that evil figures are no longer here but I also agree with the other side in that celebration of death is rather tacky and redundant.

What do you think?

Please do not resort to petty insults and attacks, it gets us nowhere.
