Hot Topic: Is Revenge always sweet?

Fourth Grade Debate

The most fascinating event currently in the news is the death of Osama Bin Ladin. Americans are thrilled to bits because they view this as justice being served. Fourth Graders were too young to grasp what happened during September 11, 2001, but they are not too young to join the conversation about the implications of Osama’s demise. Does his death mean that we can now relax and savour the taste of sweet revenge or will it trigger more war and bloodshed? Will it end up causing the loss of more innocent American lives? Share your views here to help clarify your thoughts for the upcoming classroom debates.

Osama did deserve to die because it was for protection, but that does not mean he should die for killing your loved ones. No matter what they will always live in your heart. They`re not gone forever.

It is wrong to kill. We should have forgived him because he could have done much worse and we can't go to sleep at night knowing you killed someone.

I Think We Should Not Kill Him Because If Someone Kills Him One Of His Family Member Will Kill The Person Who Did It. GO CONS!!!!!! :)

Remember,"Thall shall not kill." It's the best choice to think before you speak or act.

I think Osama Bin Laden should NOT been killed so,I am a con. Today the debates were really good. I think that both 4A pro's and con's, and 4B pro's and con's did really good.

OK, They had to kill him for their protection, BUT I will not celebrate the death of Osama Bin Ladin. The 9/11 attack was wrong. Plus I just heard Osmas daughter watched him be killed. Today Everybody did a AMAZING job. Congrats Conns. But, I am still for pro. See you tommorow. Peace!

wen i mean "he" i mean osama bin ladin.

Jordan

5/5/2011 08:41:42 am

Well Faith, what I meant by "It`s none of our buisness" I mean it`s not our buisness if peoples religion is to God.Like you said, god said to not kill but he killed. It is none of our buisness if he believes in God or not. I set my case. WHAT NOW?!

Jordan

5/5/2011 08:45:43 am

By "He" I mean Osama. It is not our right to punish Bin Laden. It is God.

Isanya

On second thought that couldn't have gotten any worse as I said before. But I still think we should have forgiven him. Either way he would have died just like the rest of us. So what's the point of taking his life before he gets to live the rest of it? He is a human just like us and he could have gone through something to make him change his ways. Basically we may as well have murderdered him.

I think that it was right to kill Osama because he killed lots of people and that he deserved what we gave him.

Even though Osama killed more than 3000 people in and out of the Twin Towers, it didn't mean we had to kil him. We could of changed him depending on what he does. He could of killed us trying to talk to him, but if that's what he would of wanted, that's what he would of wanted.
