[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3499387, member: 5800"] As I noted somewhere back in the thread, intent comes in as a second question. In the killing someone example, it's a second question, not a first. First question might be "is killing other people bad". That's a yes/no kind of affair. Then you get to the secondary question of intent. "Is it to win a war against bad guys", "Was it accidental", "Was it on purpose". Generally it's accepted in American society that killing people is bad. However, we as a society have gone to the second question of intent to determine what that means. If it was a just war, then it's bad, but necessary. If it was an accident then maybe manslaughter at worst as your say, and if on purpose then 20-life. And no, that's not gaslighting ... that's an honest assessment. I really don't think chuckles is trying to comprehend anything. And I really do think there are many members that are much more outstanding at being snarky and quippy. And I really think that he's middle of the road at best. You for instance generally seem take the time to read opposing views, post good support for your arguments etc. While we disagree on many things, I can respect your position. Chuckles on the other hand, just seems to ignore the parts he doesn't like and then try to insult my intelligence to make up for it. [/QUOTE]
