American leaders have been trying to off that guy for 50+ years and President Trump does it in <3 weeks, WOW! I'll never get tired of winning.

More kind of a neo-eco-fascist-yuppie, no?

Maybe it was due to shock from learning the results of the election.

By 'cut it out' you are saying that the German girl who was murdered isn't worthy of being remembered?

Wow, just wow.

You're not that dumb, stop trolling. Read the thread.

I have no idea what that means. Read the thread?

This is a thread where we post about people who have died, in order to commemorate their deaths in a small way, no?

[kenberg]

Jon, you put people in a most difficult position. I do not, I very much do not, want this thread to become a back and forth for your political arguments. I will make this one response here, and one only.

It is an obscenity to use this thread to push your political views.

That's it. You can understand that or you cannot.

I'm not a Fidel Castro fan by any means but he had a moment or two.

When the USA rallied behind the Cubans washing up on Florida shores, he emptied his insane asylums and more notorious prisons and sent them over. Probably some low level guy that thought that up but I thought it was brilliant.

A young girl was murdered. Somebody's daughter. Somebody's sister? By all accounts a lovely young woman. I chose to remember that. I didn't say a WORD to 'push my political views.' Name, link (imbedded in the name,) picture. Out of respect for someone who died far too soon.

That's it. You can understand (and respect) that or you cannot. I find it appalling that some people cannot.

Yes but this thread is not really for that, it's for people who either were or should have been famous for their lives, not their deaths.

About 150K people die every day, and practically all of them are worth being commemorated. But that's what obituary notices and newspaper articles are for, not this thread. This thread is for people who are well known, either in the world in general or the bridge community.

[onoway]

He knows that, he's just after attention. Someone once told me, stop feeding the trolls, perhaps it's time to revisit that policy?
