And while we are saying nice things,
I hope Dave and and Charlie are reunited very soon.
(thanks to Ron Pearlman for that one)

Just because a person died shouldn't mean we forget the bad things they've done.

Who said we should forget? It's your right to disrespect the dead, it's my right not to. I don't respect Koch, I respect the dead. |
I certainly don't respect the dead just because they are dead. I don't respect Epstein now that he is dead. I don't respect someone who committed atrocious acts because they are dead. They no longer get a free pass.
The only good thing the Kochs did was somewhat oppose Trump, but their version was not much better, and they still went along with him.
What these people have done is harm us and the future. That deserves 0 respect. |
To each their own. I don't respect Epstein or Koch, I respect the DEAD. |
I respect people who do good and make the world a better place.
Kock dying makes the world a better place than when he was alive, so I will respect that. Otherwise, the act of dying is not respect-worthy. |
I hate to break it to you but the world will be the same place

Not at all. There is one less Koch brother in it.

Wow. Right after Hasan Minhaj gave such a great homage to him in his latest episode of Patriot Act.  |

As opposed to those who accuse someone of something they did not say?
Gee, just who would that be?

So just to be clear. You respect EVERYONE who has EVER lived and died?

So apparently the Koch boys had a Nazi nanny who would give them enemas if they didn't go to the bathroom on time every morning.

It's old, but I've never understood it. Hate someone while they're alive, hate them when they're dead. I value consistency. |

Nothing will change |
David koch was the 11the wealthiest person in the world. He's in the tiniest handful of incredibly powerful and wealthy people. When you throw in the fact that he is in the even tinier handful of that group that are truly evil, the world of such people has shrunk by a minimum of 10%. And that's significant.
No, the world is not going to noticeably change because Koch is dead. But the planet and the people on it are better off for the loss of one of its biggest and most powerful enemies.

The idea of ignoring someone's evils simply because they have done the world a favor by passing away is neither decent nor moral. It's just a trite self-righteousness.

Kim Jong Il 1994-2011 = deadly human rights abused and war criminal
Kim Jong Il 2011-present = not gonna say anything bad about him cause I'm a "decent, moral person"
Osama Bin Laden 2001-2011 = terrorist and mass murderer
Osama Bin Laden 2011- present = not gonna say anything bad about him cause I'm a "decent, moral person"
It's fine to say Koch isn't on the same level as awful as those people. Just want to illustrate that just because he doesn't cross 1 person's line for horrible enough to talk bad about after death, doesn't mean other people are immoral because he crosses their line.

Those guys may be seemingly more dramatic and graphic examples of villainous people when compared to Koch, but I guarantee you that Koch's ultimate body count will far surpass any (if not all) of them when the impact of what he has done to humanity plays out even after his demise.

Closer comparisons are Stalin Hitler and Pol Pot.
Yeah. He was that bad. |
