Not really done that, but I take it as a fair point.
As for being voted in, well I can (and sometimes do) support the democratic process without liking the people that get elected. I reckon at most I have to follow the laws they create, but I think not speaking against them is actually counter to the point of democracy.

I don't think I called her evil either, as I feel much the same about diluting the word as you.

I think perhaps you are arguing with someone who is not me.

Fair point, I'm in part arguing against a whole raft of people currently posting shit like
"wohoo dancing" on facebook etc.

Or "hooray" like you said on facebook.

Someone who stated that there is no society, only people and families, has died.
I'm not her family, I think her family are a bunch of cunts and therefore I have no sympathy for them.

So? doesn't make actively celebrating it the act of pleasant person.

So what?
Someone that a lot of people dislike for a lot of good reasons has died. I know it's not going to change anything at the moment, but the fact that they have died has cheered me up and I'm not going to apologise for that.

I didn't say you should apologise for it.
I said celebrating someone's death is distateful.

It's also rather hypocritical if you bang on about how Thatcher destroyed society and encouraged a position of "every man for themselves" and then actively celebrate the death of another human, thus proving yourself to be an example of the model of selfish humanity that you're arguing she made.

But hey.

Probably, though I'd need to check with Dozer
but in this instance I don't care. I would be equally happy if Michael Gove were to suffer a fatal stab wound to the neck, or if Jeremy Clarkson had a stroke.

see, I still personally wouldn't celebrate the death of anyone
but Clarkson or Gove I could almost understand because them dying now would stop anything they could do in the future, which might I suppose make the world a better place.

In part I am glad she's dead, yes.
it's immature and I know that strictly speaking In should not be happy about anyone's death, be they even as bad as Hitler, to pick, the most extreame example I can think of, but I am not that saintly.

I am also very aware that unless I go on totally news black-out I'll have to suffer nothing but sycophantic half truths and white wash and this makes me very angry, as does the fact my taxes will likely be used towards her fucking funeral.

Fuck it I'm entitled to a chorus of "Ding Dong the witch is dead" and you can judge me all you like, I'll go on record as saying a cunt is a cunt even after they are dead and you have permission to piss on my grave if you outlive me.
