What the hell is wrong with people, having a party about Margaret Thatcher's death?? I don't care how much you hate her, she had good intentions and nobody deserves that level of disrespect. Not even you.
The greatest evils of the 20th century were done with good intentions, it doesn't necessarily mean that people shouldn't be celebrating the fact that the despotic regimes of Hitler and Stalin came to a close. In the case of Hitler, many in Germany were dancing in the streets. I'd argue that a person's worth is to be decided by those who have experienced times as dictated by them, as the proof of a higher power doing the judging is somewhat lacking. To say that the dead inherently deserve respect for no greater reason than 'they simply do' is a fallacious and circular argument that should have no place in any age with proper reverence for reason and logic. I wish less of a big deal was made about her death because, as far as I'm concerned, she deserves to be forgotten.
Thatcherism destroyed the lives of near enough everyone living in the northern parts of the British isles, out of which an elite minority prospered obscenely, setting dangerous precedents which allowed the banks to allocate vast cash bonuses to their highest ranking executives, which, in turn, led to the financial faux pas our country ended up being mired in for far too long.
I have argued the case for justification of celebration in relation to Margaret Thatcher's demise, if you care to support your argument with a level of reason and rhetoric that the subject deserves, I will gladly listen and hopefully concede certain points while continuing to issue certain fundamental points of challenge.
