You and Thomas differentiate between letting people die and killing them, and in my mind that's a pretty flimsy difference. In the end, people die based on your decision. I have a hard time differentiating between the two. If I let people die by making a decision or kill them by pushing a button, it's the same exact thing. I am choosing who lives and who dies.
Many posts by various posters

Paul McKenna: Actually, I have read about atleast 2 parents in Palestine and atleast 1 parent in Kashmir who have proudly supported their children dieing in the frontlines of militant warfare. Infact the Palestenian mother was even video taped sending her son into war and personally handing over the weapon to him.

No, no, no. You're adding WAY too many extraneous factors. This is not about firefighting, or odds, or any other rationalizing factors. This is simply about making a moral decision.

Maybe having seen the crumbling ruins of the World Trade Center I have a different perspective on whose home is being saved.Originally posted by Joe Pluta:
You got it, Bhau. There's a huge difference between saving your home and saving someone else's. Typically in wartime, America is saving someone else, so I guess we see things differently.

That is only true if you are a relativist. But in that case how can you tell someone that blowing up a busload of children is immoral?Originally posted by Joe Pluta:
We're just as right as each other, and I'm not going to fight about it.

There is NO ROOM for Conetitous Objectors and there is NO TIME for drafting. Do or die. If all the families do not act togather, there won't be any family left.
