That's it, that's the post.
Does everyone else have the same autogenerated thread banner of a load of fireworks going off?![]()

Auto-generated? I thought those banners were intentional and user-chosen.Does everyone else have the same autogenerated thread banner of a load of fireworks going off?
Eh, I have never been on board with the whole "every death should be mourned" mentality, as I do think that there are some truly shit-tastic people in this world, and we are better off with them gone. So don't feel bad about not feeling bad that someone truly terrible is dead. I cheered audibly at work, and clapped my hands when I learned Sylvia Brown was dead. I did the same for limbaugh. I'm glad he's dead, fuck everything he did in this world. It's shitbags like him that helped create the political climate we find ourselves in, and I don't pity for a second, the fact that he's gone.I know we're not supposed to be happy people die, but it seems even the website algorithm is in his case.
Sorry, only had one wish left after the election.Alex Jones and Pat Robertson are still around though.
I'm not entirely comfortable with all the cheering. Its clear as day the man's legacy is overwhelmingly negative and probably maliciously so but his opponents should have some dignity about this. Same as people cheering when Thatcher the elderly Alzheimer patient died. Its not very tasteful.I'm not saying that you're all going to turn into murderers, but I think there's a casual chain that goes from "publicly celebrating the death of your political/ideological opponents" to "committing acts of violence, including murder".
