+449 Imagine a luncatic in your house with a gun, who intends to kill everyone in your family because his faith tells him to. You have an entire wall of machine guns. No, you wouldn't try and negotiate with him peacefully, you would shoot him in the fucking face. That's why we fight wars. You can't reach an agreement with crazy people, amirite?

I know, I don't like war, I think it's stupid and that you should just try to live in peace with people.

ono Are you really that retarded (Oops, forgot to be PC)? The only way to avoid war it so be big enough and strong enough and have the best army so that nobody wants to start a war. And even that doesn't work in some cases. Peace on earth is IMPOSSIBLE.

I bet one day you are going to get robbed, and you'll say to to the robber "Please don't hurt me, take whatever you want!" but he won't care. He would probably shoot you. All because you're too weak to take a life.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I would call the police and hide... I would try to hurt them but I would never take their life. Also it's pretty hypocritical that you think abortion is wrong because it's murder but you would be willingto kill a person

by Anonymous 13 years ago

He would be gone before the police got there (maybe) it takes several minutes. He might shoot you if he saw you calling the police. How would you hurt him if he has a gun? You couldn't do anything. Abortion is murder because the baby is innocent. Killing a robber is not murder because he is not innocent.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It is a bundle of cells, it can't feel or think until a certain point in the pregnancy and at that point it isn't legal to get a abortion.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're an idiot. I say if you aren't ready to have a baby, tough. You're the one who got pregnant, deal with the damn pregnancy. And don't use the "what if they were raped" excuse. That's an EXTREMELY rare scenario and yes, I agree it really really sucks, but adoption is an option. Abortion is just an awful, but easy way out.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Telling someone "You're an idiot" instead of just addressing their point of view is just a way of fronting, hiding the issue, and attempting to make yourself seem bigger than them.

Okay well let me address their point of view in a manner that a 13 year old girl might understand it. To quote Juno, "Babies have fingernails!" They're more than just a bundle of cells, they're LIVING BEINGS. And you're opting to kill that off because you made the mistake of not having protected sex.

How the fuck is killing a robber not murder? You don't know this robber. He might have been forced to rob your house, he might be mentally ill and not in control of himself, he might need the money to pay for his mother's drug rehab. And besides, just because someone isn't innocent doesn't mean it isn't murder to kill them. No one is completely innocent.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So when you're in a tight spot it's ok to break the law? Wows... When I'm using the term "innocent" in a abortion/killing someone argument, I mean "s/he didn't do anything to deserve the death penalty"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't say it was okay to break the law. I said it didn't make it okay to KILL him. It's perfectly fine to press charges in court to send him to jail, but murder is never okay.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As much as I agree with MOST of what you've said, it is technically murder. Unless you're in Texas, where you have rights to defend yourself and your property if threatened. Fortunately, I live in Texas. Haha

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Wait... The Castle Law or whatever saying you have the right to use lethal force if someone is on/stealing your property doesn't apply to other states? Oh my gosh, I am never living anywhere besides Texas. I will not live in a place where I can't defend my family.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So you would let other people, uninvolved in this, risk their lives when you're perfectly capable of taking out the threat yourself? That's called the draft, and it hasn't quite happened yet. Also, abortion is killing someone that hasn't had a chance to live and learn what is right and wrong. Killing a terrorist is killing someone who knows right from wrong, and chooses to kill people.

Actually, the Christians invaded land that wasn't theirs, much of it land where Muslims had lived in peace for a long time, and attacked cities in the holy land in the name of God. You can't really claim they were justified. And please do not call Muslims crazy or write off an entire religion on one minority. That's just ignorant.

Imagine your next door neighbour's house being filled with enough weapons to destroy the whole earth multiple times over. He seems pretty stable most times, but still, you're wary of him because you have to wonder if he's excited to test out some of his new weapons on you. He points out something about your beliefs that he doesn't agree with. You want to discuss things calmly but damn it, he's holding a damn rifle to your head as you speak. That's why you start wars. You can't negotiate with crazy people.

No one LIKES war, but sometimes, it's necessary. I'm glad other people understand this. Without war, our world would be nothing. Animals fight and even plants fight. It's just...part of life. We try to avoid it, but sometimes, we can't.

Yes, but war should be the last means necessary to accomplish things. All other options should be exhausted first.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I believe in pacifism to an extent. If there is the possibility that I can reason with the person, then I'm going to. But there are the situations where war or violence are necessary. All human life is special, and the fewer who lose it, the better. And in the situation in the post, I wouldn't shoot him in the face. I would shoot him in a place (leg, arm, etc) that would stop him from hurting me or my family, and call the cops. That way, the man doesn't have to die. Just my opinion.

i neither agree nor disagree with this analogy, i would just like to point out, however, that no actually faith tells it's followers to kill others. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. are all religions that promote peace and tolerance. just because some of it's batshit followers take it out of context, that does not mean the religion is actually violent and supports violence- it mean that it, like any other faith, had radicals. also, i don't think people we go to war with are 'insane'. they just have radically different views. who is to say who is right and who is wrong?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Obviously you are religiously ignorant. At least when it comes to Christianity. God told the Israelites many times to go into a neighboring country and kill EVERYONE, women, men, and children because that country that was defiling God's will, praising false gods, and committing horrific acts of immorality. Now of course Christianity doesn't promote killing everyone or being violent to people who believe in other things but sometimes violence or war is the only thing that is left to do in the situation.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

that's all well and good- of course there is violent history in all religions, but the overall message of the faith doesn't generally promote violence.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Excuse me, are you insinuating that Christianity is without violent fault? Have you ever heard of the Crusades?? Don't ever imply that one religion has done more harm or less harm or no harm than another, all religions have their faults and they have all been violent.
