So here's the irony. The invasion of the capital was REAL, some here even admit as being wrong. There were documented threats to both Pelosi and Pences's lives. Judging by espoused philosophies, I presume most of the Trumpists here would present a " Locked and Loaded" response. Castle Doctrine, Stand Your Ground, etc. Hypocritical to blame someone subject to a potential threat for wanting security when one is safe in their basement typing on a keyboard.

I hadn't realized you supported murder. Good to know...

A human life has no greater or lesser worth than any other living creature. The only defining characteristic that Humans have over any other living organism that we know of is the capacity for cruelty. That is one of the many dangers we must navigate as a part of the cost of sapience.Wow! I disagree with you strongly, in this.
In short - Killing, "Murder", is natural. Cruelty is what is unique and wrong. Originally Posted by GastonGlock

Humans are self-aware. We can choose to suffer, and reduce our own comfort and safety, to assist someone we are not related to. Humans demonstrate kindness, compassion, empathy, and hatred.
I know of no other species equal to humans in this regard.
IMHO murder is wrong, and immoral.
It is not the same as killing an animal for food. Sorry! I believe you are incorrect. Originally Posted by pfunkdenver
