Re: Military Strategy
Originally posted by txswinner:<br /> QC, Read your post again and all I see is some examples of evil people, some name calling about intellect and no definition so that I will know where to attack or how to defend myself against your evil.
My reaction was addressed to PW2 as again, I believe he was making a personal statement about me. The name calling was limited to how I feel specifically about a reluctance to identify evil. It seems that you too would fall into that camp. But I am unclear, so I will save your personal rant for a later date
<br /><br />Also, please reread the words immediately preceding the individual naming of "real-live Dr. Evils". I specifically named some evil actions and the source(s) of my definition. And, although your questions are rhetorical I will answer each one specifically and especially civilly.<br /><br /> If I bomb a village full of evil people and innocent people are killed, does that make me evil? <br /><br />No.<br /><br /> If I invade a country because I fear them and my independence, does that make me evil? <br /><br />Your question is not specific enough. Please define the source of our "fear" and "them". Absent that information I will have to go with maybe.<br /><br /> If I do not believe in democracy, does that make me evil?<br /><br />Of course not. It is actions that define evil, not beliefs. I can believe that I am being instructed to kill an innocent person, but I am not evil unless I do it.<br /><br /> If I have a nuclear weapon, does that make me evil? <br /><br />No.<br /><br /> If I kill people that are evil, does that make me evil. <br /><br />No, it makes you a hero.<br /><br /> If I follow different religious beliefs, does that make me evil? <br /><br />No.<br /><br />I reread your post QC and am still not clear can you address these questions in a civil manner? <br /><br />Yes.
<br /><br />I will add that I continue to be amazed at the reaction the use of the word "Evil" provokes. I will begin to use "really bad stuff" if that will make some of you feel better . . .
