Neither Corrie nor the Marlboro Man deserved to die for their stupid decisions.

Why not? If their stupid decisions led to their deaths, why wouldn't they deserve it?

The fact that people celebrate Corrie's death here, so incessantly, so cruelly and tastelessly, even a year after the fact, cheapens FR.

Here's a suggestion: stop reading them. People aren't spontaneously bringing up the subject. These threads start because a member of her family grabs another 15 minutes at her expense to talk about what a wonderful, giving, peace-loving creature she was. Her bad work goes on, and there's nothing the least wrong with pointing out the difference between the made-for-60-Minutes version and the truth.

By your logic, it follows that all people who engage in risky behavior always deserve to die.

Spare me the self righteousness. As I have pointed out many times on this thread, I don't particularly have a problem with people trying to discredit her family members and get to the truth of the matter. I am trying to do that myself. What I have a problem with is the callous celebration of the death of a human being. The juvenile postings of pancakes, and Tonka toys, that we see on all of these threads. These posts are not original and they reduce us to the level of the opposition.
