(7,830 posts)I always thought when someone has a "death wish", the death is their own, not others'. So I haven't seen any death wishes, either way.

have any. Much less 'a lot'.
Edit- Came back to say I saw one such post, so it is not entirely you. The thread is not getting any agreement. But it is there.

(6,896 posts)I appreciate you keeping your eyes and mind open to that.
Anyone who wants to fight for justice and peace between humans
and marine mammals will have to get in line behind me.
Anyone who levels death threats as a solution is only a problem.
I dont think that behavior should be ignored,
nor some callous oaf "called out" in another thread.
I simply think the sickly and negative nature of those comments should be recognized.
thank you.

(6,896 posts)every single corpse (and their survivors) thanks you for your consideration.
I have to suspect, considering
every
single
act of treacherous, bloody skullduggery, the mountains of corpses wrongfully constructed
following WW II, that maybe it wasnt all "Saving Private Ryan" and the Andrews Sisters?

(7,908 posts)(liberated by the Red Army) would beg to disagree.
The Viet Minh had to kill a lot of French soldiers to triumph in Vietnam at Dien Bien Phu. That's another example of killing accomplishing something good.
Oh, let's not forget the brave Union soldiers who did a fair amount of killing of their countrymen atop Cemetery Ridge and Little Round Top.

(3,829 posts)I saw the post about sending a cruse missile (or something like that) to obliterate the hackers in North Korea. That was a terrible post. The crime didn't match the punishment and guilt would be impossible to determine. Plus it would be an act of war.
I'm the one that was guilty for saying the Japanese Whalers need to be torpedoed to the bottom of the sea. This would obviously be done while in the commission of their horrible crimes against nature. The same should be done to the bastards that are murdering elephants and rhino's for horns. The international community needs to get serious with these criminals.

(7,908 posts)to shoot back at the whalers. That would make it more 'sporting' and even up the odds a bit. Same goes for the other species you mentioned (elephants and rhinos).

(6,896 posts)or a mushroom cloud?
when accountability is zero, its a profound leap to acts of retaliatory murder.
that sort of rhetoric in the short term is not useful for people working the front lines right now,
and those trying to understand enough of the actual facts and details to manage a real solution.
If there is a long term for that ethos, its just another reason for someone to kill you back.
add that to the nuke em for hacking commentary, and I simply have to remark.
it all jibes comfortably with US foreign policy, so I can see why it pops up.
cpwm17
(3,829 posts)and almost all wars are based on lies, including US wars. US politicians that promote the wars we start should all be tried for crimes against humanity.
I wrote that the Japanese whalers deserve to be torpedoed to the bottom of the sea. They are criminals and they should be treated like the criminal they are. Obviously, if possible, some type of police force needs to intercept them at the scene of their crime to capture them for trial. If not possible to capture them, sink them before they can murder again. Better them dead then more whales murdered.

(6,896 posts)as if one (or a million -es) torpedo would end anything for good.
AMERICANS with money fly to Africa, spend $980,000 and bring back an elephants foot.
that is the truth, and that is the problem (in a nutshell).
It isnt a bullet that kills these animals, it is money.

(14,177 posts)that being said it's probably better that some thoughts are kept to oneself. not everything that occurs to us is worth typing out on a keyboard or being read. death wishes seem kinda hateful, i can think of worse things though. i won't type those things out, those things are among the thoughts i think it's better to keep to myself. I think if this bothers you maybe you should speak directly to the death wisher and see what's behind that besides the obvious hate. The hackers being hated on I understand, again we are confronted with the reality that there really are dangers on the internet and doing business via the internet makes a person vulnerable. Hating whalers well they are killing beautiful intelligent animals and I am not sure why except for money. I know next to nothing about the whaling industry and what whale is used for in modern times.
