You know, it's one thing to fight against someone who is opressing you.

It's another think to kill him/her in a bloody rage.

The latter is just sick. Even if he was terrible, nobody deserves death. Kinda why I don't believe in the Death Penalty over here, but I digress.

Hitler deserved to die. Stalin deserved to die. Bin Laden deserved to die. People who have killed thousands of other people deserve death because it's the only surefire way to stop them from sontinuing their massacres. Gaddafi got what he deserved.

"Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?"

That said, I support the death penalty if it is carried out efficiently (e.g. not in twenty years) and after there is no room for reasonable doubt. HOWEVER, I see no legitimate reason for Gadhafi's death (if I misspelled his name, *bleep* it, I can't find a consistent one). Same goes for Hitler, Stalin, and Bin Laden. Why? Because their worth was measured in relation to that of other human lives, and in my opinion, we are all equally insignificant. In other words, I don't see mass murder as a determinant of requiring death oneself. Generally, if the potential victims belong to causes or ideologies I support (e.g. scientists and video game designers) and/or are close to me (family, friends, acquaintances), their lives are worth defending. Otherwise, they mean nothing (that's true for most people; if two people, one being a stranger with whom you were ideologically opposed, let's say Gadhafi, and a close family member were at risk of death, and you could only save one, which would it be?). For the record, anything I do not condemn is not automatically considered justified, or vice-versa. I just tend not to take sides.

Holy *bleep*, never talk again.

Can this guy be demoted simply for having the worst opinions known to man?

I strongly second that notion.

Seriously, aren't people supposed to get out of this pathetic, misanthropic pseudo-nihilistic viewpoint by the time they're 16, at latest?

you know people have a right to view things they way they do just because you and i don't believe what he says doesn't mean we should scold him for expressing his views :posh:
 
When you say that all human lives are worthless and insignificant, and thus mass murderers shouldn't be given appropriate punishment for their crimes against humanity, you and your opinions don't deserve to be treated with respect.

i'm just saying he has the right to make his statement
 
He does. He already made it.

We don't have to respect it, though.

And we have the right to call him awful for the statement he made.
 
Or we could just not respond to whatever he's saying...


Would you not agree that whatever you're doing probably isn't going to change his opinion in any way
 
Nope. It won't help at all in changing his actual opinion.

But maybe if enough of us call him out, he might just fold to the peer pressure. Wouldn't that be lovely.
