President Donald Trump isn’t attending the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in Lithuania, because he has instead chosen to attend a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his country club in Doral, Florida.

    I’m still the asshole if I scream it at her corpse during her funeral.

    How’d you feel when bin Laden was killed? Did people mourn respectfully, and should they have? Or do the actions of the organization you’re fighting for affect whether you deserve to be treated respectfully?

      I throught it was fucked up for a number of reasons that they beheaded him and dumped his corpse at sea so he couldn’t have a traditional Muslim service.

      Some did surely, those in his organization especially so and I don’t honestly think that helps your point but rather hurts it.

      They don’t, treating the dead well is about you not them. They can’t be a piece of shit but you absolutely can be.
