As a human being, we have these thoughts. Even though we probably shouldn't, we do.

Thatcher.

If that bitch had died before she f*cked up my country, I'd have been delighted.

This question is a sign of a person with many issues.

I think it's morally wrong. Of course, if this person were like Hitler or Bin Laden or something it would be somewhat justified. You shouldn't wish death on others.

"I've never wished any man dead, but there are some obituaries I've read with great satisfaction."

In your world or a collected few, I guess so. For the world itself? Eh...

The world isn't that impacted by the death of one insignificant person. Hell, it's barely impacted by the death of one powerful person.

Yeah, there are people that suck out there. Even when one is removed from our lives, they're usually replaced by others. Might as well get used to dealing with it.

If all someone does is go around killing people, I don't see what's wrong with thinking the world would be better if they died. There might be less drastic alternatives, but any improvement is good.

I guess it would depend on your own personal set of morals.

Although I don't think it can be wrong to have a certain thought, I don't think something isn't morally wrong just because humans do it.

Image how things would have been had Hitler killed himself 10 or 20 years sooner.

I'm thinking that millions of people would not have died in the concentration camps. Perhaps the second world war (and the casualties that went along with it) could have been avoided. His 'early' death would have made a pretty big impact when one considers what his life had resulted in.

No and I have personal experience with this actually. My fathers father had a brother who had a son. So a cousin but we werent close. He was a pedophile and molested one of my cousins for many years,a cousin I was close too. I knew this man over facebook and he was a strange individual we all thought was weird and kind of avoided. When my cousin came forward and told everyone in my family he was molesting her, he was arrested and his wife posted bail. That night he jumped infront of a train. This man had a daughter who came forward after running away when she was 18 yrs old who finally admitted for the first time she was molested by her dad. He also had a son who is at present time in jail for molesting his own son and sending his father pictures of his grandson naked. Do I think I am morally wrong because he killed himself and I think the world is a better place? not at all.

not really, unless they were a murderer or a child molester, the two scourges of society.

The world would be a better place if emos would stop their complaining about EVERYTHING.

i don't think people should waste their energy thinking about something like that
it would be better spent somewhere else
well, the same goes for me
i should be somewhere else too

yes

what I mean to say is, I think that the world would most definitely be better if certain individuals committed suicide

No matter what the circumstances you never want to wish death on anyone. We all are supposed to love one another and if someone is mean to us the best thing to do is to care for them

Do you know the word "insignificant," cd?

It depends on what makes this person horrible. Did they commit terrible crimes against humanity, then no, it wouldn't be wrong to feel that way. Did this person do something to you that made you feel this way? Probably yes, it would be wrong. Also depending on what was done to you. Did he cause physical harm to your person? Was it only emotional or psychological harm? If the person is only wrong in your eyes but he has done no real harm, then yes it would be wrong. Just an opinion.

It depends on whether it's justified, but I'd venture that most of the time it's not.

Even with the Hitler example, he was a prominent figurehead for a larger coup conspiracy. I suspect any other sufficiently charismatic WW I hero would have sufficed. As such, it lacks the justification of said person being a necessary component of the harm done.

Lots of people should just kill themselves.

Yes, and I also know how to read past the first sentence. Nice job at selective quoting there- - you really got me that time...
