I tried so hard to find a middle ground between the genocide supporters and everyone else and I just can't seem to do it. People who hate genocide are just so rigid and uncompromising!
“You get civil rights on paper and we put the klan behind badges.”
Get this guy a Nobel peace prize!
Get this guy a ~~Nobel~~ FIFA peace prize!
Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.
On one side, most people seem to dislike genocide. On the other hand, Eddie really like money.
I just don't see how to solve this moral and ethical dilemma
My take is, if you don't like genocide just don't partake in it. Then everybody gets what they want.
Except for the people getting genocided, but we've decided they don't count as part of "everybody."
This is how I feel about people who murder animals for food.
Sure, but since we killed off all the predators, if we don't murder deer for food they'll destroy the ecosystem with overpopulation. Like us. In fact, it may be ethically more correct to start hunting humans to reduce the population for the sake of the total ecosystem.
[Edit: This comment is a commentary on taking reasonable arguments to an extreme. I do not support human hunting]
Very few people do. They eat animals murdered by someone else.
If a mob boss orders his employee to murder someone, both of them have committed murder
The person doing the eating didn't order anyone to do anything. They went to a store and bought the meat.
The Israeli solder who maintained the severs for Lavendar didn't order any Gazan children to be murdered. They went to the server and deployed the release.
Cry harder. I'm gonna go buy a teriyaki slimjim.
Edit: I also bought a chicken salad sandwich. Gonna have that for lunch.
Are you Israeli?
