He was an indiscriminate killer. He killed people in predominately Christian nations, predominately Muslim nations, predominately Jewish nations, predominately Hindu nations, and so on. It didn't matter if it was men, women, or children. It didn't matter what they did for a living, how much money they made, or even if they understood his warped view of the world. He hated free thought, religious choice, and economic freedom. Osama was no different than a Josef Stalin or a Pol Pot when you boil it down to its most basic levels. He wanted the world to fit his view of things, and anyone who thought differently was an enemy worthy of killing.

He was a sick individual.

His death is not something to be rejoiced, but it is something to think about. Because there are more of his type out there. Most of them won't ever have the chance to turn into the murdering, manical sadist that he became, thank goodness. But a few of them just might. Lest we forget, just because the odds of a Hitler showing up are small doesn't mean he won't. We need to be ever vigiliant of the possibility of a new evil trying to stake his claim, and be sure to the ready for it if one does.

Hopefully the Muslim world will use this opportunity to reclaim their religion away from the fringe lunatics and closet maniacs and make their faith one of peace and love again. The ball is in their court. May they be wise and swift in their actions and thoughts. ]]> Mr Clean http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/entry.php?3-Osama-bin-Laden http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/entry.php?2-Why-Jay-Bilas-is-an-idiot Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:36:10 GMT I get that "analysts" are supposed to be critical at times. It's part of their job description after all. ESPN's Jay Bilas is no different. But, after the NCAA selection committee announced their selections for this year's Tournament, he went almost ballistic over some of the choices that were made. I won't delve into his entire rant, because quite honestly he made comments for hours throughout the course of the Selection Show. But I do want to focus on his verbal lashing of VCU's inclusion into the tournament.

I get why VCU was a surprise pick, at least compared to Colorado or other possible teams. Yet, despite the numbers, they have won their first two games and sit in the Sweet 16. Were they lucky? Considering the thrasing they gave their first two opponents I'd have to say no. Maybe they were overlooked. You can't prove that one way or another so I'll leave that alone. But apparently the selection committee might have some clue after all (Jay Bilas didn't think they did).

The problem with people like Jay Bilas (sorry, I can't call him an analyst anymore) is that they are big-conference snobs. They can't fathom certain conferences having good basketball. (It's the same thing in college football by the way). They are so convinced that they know it all that they don't see the forest for the trees.

Bilas even said he wasn't sure that the selection committee knew that they played basketball with a round ball.

What an ass.

I hope Jay Bilas issues an apology for his loudmouthed and useless rants last week and enjoys his delicious plate of crow... ]]> Mr Clean http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/entry.php?2-Why-Jay-Bilas-is-an-idiot http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/entry.php?1-Dangerous-Dan-s-Brief-Life-Update!
