Dude, just stop. I already said that society reserves the right to deny life. Dahmer had his day in court. We fought the Nazi's following the rules of warfare. Even when we 'bent' the rules with that, we talked it over until we were blue in the face, about the morals of it. (see: just bombing theory)
The abortion comment isn't even coherent. It's Morgan who's philosophy would fit into protecting unborn life.
If my wife is raped I have two choices as a member of society.
1. I let the criminal justice system handle it, and live with the outcome.
2. I murder the rapist, and here's the important part I LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS, most likely me going to prison at minimum.
Because (gasp!) we live in a society, and if I flout the rules, even for good reasons, I can do that, but I'll pay a price.
And for crissakes, I'm not pulling this conerstone of western civ out of my ass, it's not ME that's come up with that, it's you know, actual history.
Read something. Maybe start with the Greeks. Plato and that bunch. This isn't new under the sun.
Are there people in the world who 'need to die?' Sure. But who gets to decide? You on a whim? Given your enlightened posting in this thread, we'd all better hope not.
No. You said it is a cornerstone of western civilization that "all life is precious." If society deems to take a life, then all life is not precious.
The abortion argument is perfect. Even liberals admit a fetus is life..."all life is precious."
If your statement is true, then why is western civilization responsible for so much death? It is a saying and it is bullshit. History will tell you that.
Actually, if you would read anything I have wrote, I do believe in the court system. Is it perfect...not even close. Do I think we should execute a lot more people than we do? Big time. There is no court in TWD. It is about survival. We have already shown Morgan to be wrong and his actions, or inaction, has led to the death of good people.
I get it. You are a bleeding heart liberal. You believe criminals should live, babies should die, and you know about the military without serving in it...maybe I am wrong though.
