Vitruvius wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:57 pmImagine you have a gun, and before you is a man surrounded by dead kids, with a knife advancing on another child. Would you shoot?
Age wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:04 pmIt all depends.
Too late, dead kid. Why didn't you shoot?
Because that kid was going to grow up and kill far more women, children, and babies.
That adult who killed that child was doing 'the world' a favor. So, very luckily I did not shoot that adult.
As I said and pointed out earlier, there are just far to many variables to think about and take into consideration to answer these useless hypothetical questions properly and correctly.

Imagine we brought back the death penalty. That's what this thread is about.
LOL
And if we did, you would have absolutely NO problem at all in killing innocent human beings, correct?
Now, if this is correct, then maybe you should be one of those on the death penalty.
Besides murdering human beings being wrong, which is what the death penalty does and is, you have already been informed about how imperfect the, so called, "justice" system is, and that innocent human beings end up being murdered.
And, EVERY thing you have said so far as being ways of not finding innocent people guilty are fallible.

If you were trained, and sure that you could prevent a child's death, would you pull the trigger?
Age wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:04 pmIt all depends. In ALL 'trolley problem' like scenarios there are always far to many variables to consider.
I gave you a scenario that was clear cut on purpose. Your refusal to answer is either intellectually dishonest or idiotic.
What happens if it was that child who killed all the other children, and it was the adult who took the knife off of that child?
Or, could your brain not consider that possibility?
Until you inform me of EVERY variable, then I remain uninformed, and so not in a position to answer, properly AND correctly.
Contrary to what you BELIEVE is true, 'trolley problem' like scenarios are NOT as clear cut, in relation to REAL world scenarios, as you would love to believe.

If you would, why - when some predatory paedophile child killing shitbag is caught, would you not want to see them swing?
Age wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:04 pmWhen, and if, you ever discover WHY ALL of 'you', human beings, do what you do, then you WILL CHANGE your views.
Are you saying you're not human?
No. WHY would you even begin to ASSUME such a thing.

This on philosophy forum. Why are you here? Have you not heard of twitter, you fucking muggle!
SEE how easy it was to manipulate and control adult human beings, in the days when this was written.
To sway them to LOOK AT and SEE things, which I NEVER even said NOR talked about, and to allow them to remain in those most ABSURD thinking and views, was about one of the most easiest and simplest things to.
One of the reasons I would not shoot that adult is because I KNOW WHY they are doing what they are doing, AND I can stop them without shooting. Do you know WHY they do what they do?
In fact do you even know WHY 'you' do what you do?
If yes, then WHY?

Instead, you'd lock them up, at huge expense, for not long enough and let them out to do the same again. I gave you examples on the previous page - of released killers killing again. It happens more often than wrongful conviction.
Age wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:04 pmYou really are STUCK in your own ideas and views, and NEVER do even consider asking for clarification on what "others" say and write. In fact you do NOT even think about what "others" say and write. From your perspective it is 'your view' or NO view AT ALL.
I've taken a lot of time and care over my beliefs. [/quote]
That you would even have a BELIEF shows just how much you have yet to discover and learn.
Also, are you aware that it has been said that there are more wrongful convictions than there are the guilty not convicted?

I'm trying to help you - and it's like trying force feed a vicious dog. If you don't recognise that I know better than you, if you are that insecure and egoistic that you can't learn, twitter is for you!
Wow.
Have you found ANY one here who is listening to you and changing their views to yours?
If no, then WHY NOT?
But if yes, then WHO?
