I stand by what I said: I don't believe in murdering anyone for any reason. Quaker (Society of Friends) upbringing here. You won't change my mind. You can bring up all the Hitler scenarios you want. Prison, yes. Murder, no.
I don't care if you, or all of Lemmy, disagree with me. I'm allowed my opinion, as you are allowed yours.
Accepting only ideal solutions mean some problems don't get solved. More die. Sometimes millions. Millions more people getting murdered is not somehow the murder-is-always-wrong side of the equation.
The trolley problem is not a cute cartoon and absolute stubbornness is not a virtue. Certainly not when it's something you were inculcated in from childhood, rather than anything you chose.
'I would let Hitler live if captured' is vaguely magnanimous. 'We should've shot zero Nazis because allied soldiers attacking camp guards were indistinguishable from people operating the gas chambers' is dogmatic horseshit.
I haven't changed my mind, and I won't.
Argument ad la la la I can't hear you.
I don't know what that means. If you can't understand what I wrote, then I can't help you. Lets just see if he gets convicted or not. 😀
