what you seem to be smoking regulary is already strong enough
Evidently not
where is the evidence?
1. your view of human interaction and history is adorable...
"It doesn't matter how far back you go, there have always been people who denounced war and slavery. "
tell that to the age of the common wealth before the american independence or earlier
the % of people denouncing it back then is about the same with the % practicing slavery still today.
at one point in medival europe the majority of people were slaves well they called it serf's
well unless your including the slaves themselves which would be kind of redundant and pointless... i mean who wants to be treated like a slave?
also slaves generaly wouldnt denounce it because that would have lead to them being flogged
again not saying that that was right as by todays standards and by extension my own is very very wrong it just happens that history isnt written backwards and as such it was a thing
2. you again didnt read it fully or didnt want to
among other points: i didnt write that it would take 21st century values
i wrote that what the mc applied/pushed where values from the 21st century
3.your ignoring the abstract underlying nature of things by limiting yourself to specifics which is what i was arguementing with since the begining
judging or condeming an action and then turning around and commiting the same action is also an act of hypocrisy
the mc condems the villagers for taking spoils of war from the rabbits and then by virtue of his own power demands that they hand over those spoils
from our and the mc's point of view thats about justified
but justifications are always influenced if not based on subjective values that may change as the society evolves or may even be dependant on the individual
as such they arent useful when looking at an issue objectively
and separating subjectivity and objectivity from each other is a cornerstone of the scientific method
wanna know what is the legal definition of right and proper behaviour? ask for a majority vote of your respective nations supreme court judges whatever they decide is legaly right and proper
4. correction killing someone in self-defence is manslaughter just that its excused (justified) and as such excludes a guilty verdict
much like not being medically found non compos mentis.
and murder is an elevation of manslaughter as such murder isnt a standalone crime because you cant comitt murder without comitting manslaughter
and again try to arguement abstract and read properly
i was using the general decree and enforcement of law by a state as an example of using force to suppress force
yet you are arguementing with a specific law and how its applied.
in an argument its just good manners to not just respond to the words of the other party but also the logic beneath it
because else it will always end in a stalemate.
since you engaged me its my abstract logic which you sadly failed to respond to
and since its tedious to argue a stalemate and im not getting college credit for it, i will refrain from doing so unless you show some common courtesy
well there are ways to argue that can shift the logic and are considered good manners but explaining that would be beside the issue and not my job
