Why is it okay to wish death on some, but not others? Ex: Wishing Osama bin Laden death...no problem, wishing Rush Limbaugh, Obama, or The Pope death...outrage.

Wishing death on someone, hmmmm, okay. But wishing LIFE on someone, now THAT’S the stuff nightmares are made of, lol!

Personally, I don't wish death on anyone. There are far worse things that many people have earned through the hate and vitriol they've added to the world - death is too easy and too kind for them.

I don't wish for anyone's death, in the case of bin Laden and Limbaugh, I didn't/woudn't cry at their funerals.

In my opinion death is the easy way out for the condmend, life in prison, especially if confined with no contact other than your guards seems a harsher punishment, segregation but not solitary confinement.

We need to be more honest.
It seems quite likely that a body found on our beach 3 weeks back was a guy I worked with briefly. The way he was going it may not be a bad thing, and really wasn't surprising. Sometimes my only sense of justice in this life has been the fact that I am still alive and some others are not.
In summary, I often wish other people would just die or at least disappear from my world.

Are their crimes worthy of a death sentence? Osama bin Laden murdered thousands. The others you mentioned just have opinions different from yours.

One word for you: hypocrisy.

Wishing is a form of magic. Personally, I wouldn’t want to put any energy into such thoughts. It seems like unhealthy thinking. What is the point?

Just wish it to yourself. Dont be vocal and attract attention. Then ask yourself... what does it matter and who cares...

@Rideauxb. Wow.... thank you.

It isn't trying to kill them. It is just hoping that they die. I'm ok with that. There are some people who are so toxic, that it would be good if they were gone. I suppose there will always be terrible people n the world, but, if they would just be gone, it would be good.

I don't wish death on any of those poeple. I wish justice on them all.

Unpopular opinion:

I don't like violence. I want to reduce violence in the world.

I must work on myself first.

Since I don't go around killing or even punching people, does that mean my work is done? No. "Violence" may occur in thought, word, or deed. In attitudes.

I have succeeded in conditioning violence out of my speech. I am now working on conditioning violence out of my thoughts. Out of my heart.

Violence begins in the heart. I want to rid myself of all violence, all the way.

Because some of those folks really piss me off. ?

See nothing wrong with wishing Rush Limbaugh dead. Other then that it would all depend on who you are talking to. Pretty sure a big bunch of black SUV's would show up at my house if I shared my true feelings on some.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Might have something to do with someone murdering thousands of people - tends not to make them favorites of others ...

On the other hand - wishing does not make it so.

Well for one thing. Rush Limbaugh and the Pope didn't pull off a terrorist attack that killed 3000 people.

There is no real proof that Bin Laden orchestrated the attack.

No proof other than the videos where they describe the attacks, their success, and Bin Laden says "Praise be to Allah" over and over again?

Because some people suck

because people are culturally brainwashed

You can wish death on whomever you want, as long as nobody hears you.

I don't think it's ok. I'm not outraged or offended. I just think it's not ok to wish harm to people. Think about where it leads

My List the World Will be Better Without: Trump, Hannity, Kelly Conway, Mike Pence, Alex Jones, Pruitt, Devos, Ted Cruz, just to name a few.

Good start. ?

Because you aren't actually killing them, lol. I'm fine with it.

I do not wish anything bad to happen to anyone. Since I would only be wishing, I would wish that the bad, evil people would change their ways and become good, decent people.

People are often irrational and hold contradictory beliefs and say what ever comes to them to justify their emotions.
