- Minor Point Kevin,
- When I pull a weapon I have one Intention,
- and it is Clear as a Bell, I wish 'malice'[1]
- upon the Target: eg, and towit, To KILL.
-
- As for the specific cases referenced above, most of those
- cases will NOT be considered 'murder' as they are listed
- as 'justifiable homicide' - or a 'good shoot' situation.
-
- and Back to vengeanc's proposition:
-
- Yes, we all agree that Murder is a NO_NO.
-
- the Problem is that Some of US are Not Satan Worshippers,
- and do NOT believe that the Government should Outlaw
- Dueling, as Dueling is a Manifest Understanding of
- the Divine Right of Trial by Combat. But I guess, once
- again, that the ModernSeXularHumanistScum with their
- AntiTraditionalFamilyValues have Sucked Dry the brains
- of yet another victim of Public Education.

- ciao

-
-
- ps: hence we Agree on the Moral Absolute, the
- question now is Simply Whether or NOT vengeanc is a
- SatanicKultRitualistModernSeXularHumanistAntiTraditionalFamilyValues
- kinda guy, or does he Support Moral Absolutes.
