                  how 'bout killing is wrong? (nt) by gibuu2004-01-13 13:35:03
                    Totally different discussion. by Naruki2004-01-13 13:52:40
                      I agree by gibuu 2004-01-13 14:42:03
I threw that out there as an example where, if you adopt that as a truth, then assassination is wrong. period. :)

For me the issue is way to deep to go into here.... suffice it to say that I am torn with the idea of fighting a good war. For me there is no such thing. War is bad.

Think of it like a fistfight. Maybe people can agree to fistfight by certain rules but I think if you have condescended to using your fists you might as well go all the way. You have already agreed that violence is acceptable. It kinda reminds me of a famous line, I think it was by Winston Churchill. Please correct me if I get this wrong)
He offered a woman a large sum of money (say 1 million $) to have sex with him. She agreed. He then promptly changed his offer to a paltry offer (20 bucks) to which she scoffed "What do you take me for? a prostitute?
He answered "We have already agreed on what you are, Madam, now we are negotiating the price"


(This is also where I get torn)
For while I say that if you are willing to fight you should be willing to face whatever will be thrown at you, as someone opposed to the fighting I want rules (in lieu of keeping the fight from starting). To keep them from killing each other for example (no knives...)

                            You're a moral absolutist, then. by Naruki2004-01-13 17:21:25
