In Response To: Re: So, we need a topic...Lets try this? (Phil)
: I believe you misread what I said. It can -generally- be
: considered a bad thing. Generally, it is a bad thing
: to inflict harm upon another person. That is what I
: meant. It is not an absolute, nessacerilly.
: Perhaps I did read too much into what you said. I agree
: that for the most part, inflicting pain is considered
: a bad thing. And rightly so. The point I was trying to
: make is that being a sadist, one who enjoys inflicting
: pain, is not strictly a bad thing. Generally, sadists
: dont walk down the street whipping everyone they see.
: Some self-control is exercised. For the most part,
: sadists only inflict pain, and only enjoy doing so,
: when it is requested.
: Define "Murder" as opposed to
: "killing"...
: Murder, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is the crime of
: unlawfully killing a person especially with malice
: aforethought. The fact that murder, by definition, is
: dependant on unlawfulness and malice makes it
: undeniably bad. To kill is to simply deprive one of
: life. A person, or creature for that matter, may kill
: for food. One might kill in self-defense or in defense
: of others. One may kill for the greater good. Is it
: wrong to kill a rabid dog or lame horse? Is it wrong
: to kill in war? What about a war against a power
: engaging in genocide or ethnic cleansing? The concept
: of killing is far to general to simply be good or
: bad.
: Thanks for expressing your thoughts. Even when I don't
: understand or agree with someone, hearing what they
: have to say is of interest to me.
: And thank you for the rational discourse.
Well said, Phil; I concur.
