SPOILER!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18679412/?GT1=9155

Quote:

“I had breakfast with him, and he was fine at breakfast,” Godwin said. “He went to his office, I went to mine and they found him unresponsive.” Falwell, a television

Of course, he ate 15 sausage links, half pound of back bacon, a gallon of whole milk, a brick of sharp cheddar cheese and 50 eggs.

I don't think we need 2 threads on this.

rkmsuf · 05-15-2007, 12:45 PM

how about a farging spoiler tag in the title, eh?

DaddyTorgo · 05-15-2007, 12:45 PM

well that was quick. the other thread didn't mention he was dead in the headline.

is it bad that i'm happy?

NoMyths · 05-15-2007, 12:48 PM

We knew him well enough.

Yes, please get rid of the other one. Mateo starts all death threads around here.

Is it too late to plant a gay prostitute next to his body?

Probably. Indifferent is okay, happy's a little too strong for me.

Kodos · 05-15-2007, 01:06 PM

I think happy is acceptable. He spread a lot of hatred in his life.

sabotai · 05-15-2007, 01:15 PM

I wouldn't exactly say that I'm happy that he's dead, but it's nice that our nation, and the world, just got a bit better.

mmmhmm. but also keep in mind, you're just a wee bit to the right of me. which is fine...i don't say that as a bad thing, hell from knowing you on here, I'd buy you a beer, but just that i'd expect your opinion to fall more towards indifferent (or even a tinge of sadness) while mine would fall somewhere between indifferent+happy.

I think that that's a fair way to look at it.

RendeR · 05-15-2007, 01:40 PM

I never claimed to be a good person, I'm quite cheered to know this piss poor excuse for a human being is gone. The only downside is that now we'll have to listen to a weeks worth of "how wonderful and positive" he was from the throngs of followers he collected over the years.

The man was scum. Good Riddence.

JediKooter · 05-15-2007, 01:50 PM

Didn't he once say UFOs were from the devil or they were demons or something like that?

I guess Larry Flint is going to have field day with this.

Could be. I'm also not really the type to be happy at someone else's passing. I think I think about my own mortality too much to find most people's death a cheery thing.

I hear last week he publicly asked God for another year to do his work... Guess he got his answer!

Not a fan, but Rest in Peace...

I knew enough about Falwell. Today there is one less person making Christians in this country look bad...

Now if someone could get Pat Robertson and James Dobson to shut up, I might be able to tell someone that I'm a Christian without getting a look of unabashed revulsion in return.

Nice to see MSNBC has some top notch quality control policies in place. Pretty soon they'll be referencing The Onion.

Young Drachma · 05-15-2007, 06:41 PM

Too easy.

We can only wonder what God is punishing him for...
