So you are able to read the intentions in another mind? That is some amazing capacity you have, xris. Really.
Nearly every example given here is one of
violence.
Violence is wrong from a moral standpoint because somebody gets hurt. Why not find nonviolent ways of responding ...even in cases of self-defense.
I suggest we train people in Akaido. Supplement this with Judo. Then if one is attacked, one may use the force of the attacker to bring the attacker down.
If there is someone here who does not yet know that
war is wrong, I would like to hear their argument justifying it. Yes, there is such a thing as 'a just war' - and we have had long threads here listing the conditions that have to be met to make it just - but I am not sure that the USA war against Japan in 1945 meets the requirements since the USA did
so much to provoke it by squeezing Japan economically before the Pearl Harbor incident (and
ignoring the subsequent warnings that Japan gave the US.) The USSR war against Germany may have been a just one
if the USSR did not provoke Germany to invade Russia; if it did, I am not aware of it.
