Just to copy a poll, that went viral on Twatter recently.
Do you realy think people you don't like should be killed?
@LukeAlmighty I'm not sure if being completely alone on Earth would be that good.
@Mac_CZ
Well, that's one way to reduce the carbon footprint.
@LukeAlmighty It’s not the people that I don’t like, it’s what they do. If anyone really hates a person simply because they exist, that person needs to check their head.
@dave @Zerglingman
Well, well, well, look at that.
We disagree again.
When it comes to the question of having any power, and not having it, declining it is the selfish choice, since that means not being able to help those who need it when the correct time comes.
@Jens_Rasmussen @Zerglingman @dave
No.
People who are not benevolent do always get that power. Only way to stop them is to have the same power yourself.
2nd amendment argument in short.
@dave @Zerglingman @Jens_Rasmussen
I don't like people pointing a gun at me.
And I think they should die.
@Jens_Rasmussen @Zerglingman @dave
I know
@LukeAlmighty @Zerglingman @dave I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I’m just pointing out that accepting power is only an unselfish thing if your intentions/motivations are unselfish as well. And that doesn’t address the question of: If you use power to make your ideal world, is it not selfish simply because the world is your ideal, even if the ideal gives you no material benefits?
I am probably thinking in too grand a scale here. If you see someone in danger of being killed by a rampaging madman, eliminating the madman is generally an action of good. Exception might be if the victim of the madman is someone even worse, but if you have no way of knowing then it makes sense to assume the victim(s) are innocent people.
@LukeAlmighty If everyone I hated were to be killed, we would see a mass-depopulation that even the person who made the Georgia Guidestones would be appalled by.
@LukeAlmighty No, they shouldn't be killed per se, I just don't want to be forced to interact with/live with them.
