If someone you hated died would you be happy?

  Happy? No. Glad? No. But would I be sad? I don't think so either. Remorseful? Maybe. I'm generally too apathetic when it comes to these things.

  Well it's time for I to post my opinion on thou thread. I wouldn't be happy as much as I would be relieved. If the person had tried to kill me or my family the story would be different. Anyway I've never really "Hated" anyone in general, I've never really been put in such a situation as to hate them. The closest to hate I've ever felt towards someone is when some fat ****er started insulting me and my brother because we told them we were going to put a smile on their face. This happened at a Park across the street from my Grandmothers house. They eventually turned their childish insults into bringing people real harm, by pushing people over onto the ground and such, the police were called and they lied to the police telling them we threatened to "**** their mom"
  when we had done no such thing. Jeez.. Real life trolls are worse than internet trolls.. They get the cops involved. Anyway I didn't really give a **** about that incident.

  You're by far the least naive of all the people I personally interacted with.
  
  Dunant eventually established the neutrality of medical personnel in war, and those nay-sayers would have called him naive for believing in it too. Well I know whom I'd call naive in this case.

  I just don't see the point.
  I get apathetic, I get annoyed, I let sleeping dogs lie and let them fk themselves over if need be, but never hate.
  For me, when it comes to others, it is about understanding first and foremost.
  I'm still always considered naive by people.. so you're proly right anyways. sighs.

  
  
  I agree with all of this aside from the last sentence.
  
  Just as Torben has said in the post above mine, you are by far one of the people that has shown the least amount of naïvete in these forums.

  Interesting question.
  
  For me, it would depend on the person. Though there are some people i've vehemently disliked with all of my feelings, power, and emotion, if they died I would probably feel horrible.
  
  The worst thing I could ever do to somebody I 'hated' [according to some people, I can't even hate people because I have no qualms about pointing out the good inside of them] would be to wish that they moved away or something so I wouldn't have to deal with them in face-to-face conversation and encounters.

  I wouldn't call you naive, either. It's more so the idea of being unable to hate people that sounds naive to me. There's nothing wrong with it, of course, but you know me.
  
  I'm just one of those with harsh ideals <3

  as many others have said, it would be the reason why i hated them that would be the ultimate deciding factor in my happiness towards their death.
  i've had school hate, where i've hated people that have teased me in school. i don't think i'd wish death on them.
  i've had hate where i see murders and such going on around me, i think i'd be indifferent to their death.
  for people who have personally wronged me in such a way that they've left a lasting impression, or have affected my mental health for any period of time, then yes, i would be glad, but it would pass, and would eventually turn into indifference.

  I do believe that even if you do wish for people to die, nevertheless, it must be quite an unhappy experience to get your wish granted.
  
  No, there is nothing happy coming from death. Most people practically felt nothing when Osama died anyway.

  The most basic emotion is to feel happiness when something you hate disappears.

  I'd think that'd be relief.
• Cynic wrote on 2011-07-10 16:40
  Well, I can only imagine feeling relief if they held something over you. I.e... you hated someone because they were holding your family hostage, for example.

  hmm.. *thinks*
  that's true.
  hate to me just seems like a burden to carry, which is why I believe relief and/or peace follows their death.
