There is a great spiritual debate about the right to murder.
I have already crossed that line - not on my own - and not of my own independent volition - but there it is.
How do I choose to live moving forward - my version of the golden rule.
Treat others at least as well as THEY treat others.
It's fine to lie to a liar but not an honest man.
A murderer is on the table for being murdered - as long as they knew what they were doing.
This leaves me with a quandary - a line I never crossed - a question for Voat:
If a propagandist intentionally spreads lies which cause wars - is their life forfeit for all the death they caused?
I believe now - based on the state of the world - the answer is yes. If you propagandize for war - the blood is in your hands and you deserve what is coming to you.

Yes. You expose him as a liar, but you should not debase yourself and stoop to his level.
Depends. Was it a deliberate killing or was it accidental? If it was malicious, no. As I said, killing is not off limits in my view. Death is a natural part of life, and all things must die. We should not kill others out of anger, but rather duty and justice.

So you only rape out of duty and justice - or when you project motive onto me you ascribe me with a different morality because of your deranged silver spoon ego?

Wow. Somehow me asking if you would rape a rapist means I personally want to rape or that I am saying you do. You understand the Socratic method, right? It forces the other person to actually understand their own stance and explain it. I poke a single hole in your idea and you freak the fuck out. And instead of thinking about your own stance, you immediately ad hominem me and get angry like a pink haired liberal banshee.
If someone questions you, why not actually reflect and figure out what you think instead of simply replying with anger and hatred in order to avoid actual introspection. Personal attacks help nothing, and I asked you a genuine question. Maybe you would learn something about yourself if you spent a few minutes thinking instead of being upset and offended that someone on the internet dare question your clearly well thought out morality.
