how many people are dead now?
callous, psychochomp. very very callous.

8 so far is the initial death toll
it'll be in the dozens by the end of the day.

i just can't understand
why people can't understand the basic fundamental principle: nothing is worth killing someone else for. not money, not oil, not gold, not politics, not religion, not even chanel heels.

i just found out that a guy who worked here just before me (ie i took his job when he left to leave london for the countryside) has been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 29. he's just had a baby. i only met him once, but the news has knocked me quite sick, 29 ffs. that's so unfair.

like either of you two would know a moral if it bit you on the arse. you'd probably enjoy it though

so if i am spending £3,500 on fags to shut you up and £424 for rent-a-moral, i still have.... £3,982 left each month to play with. any ideas?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 28 Jan 2011, 15:34, Reply)

There are things worth dying for
if your death results in things being better for those you care about or believe in. Example, some terrible thing was going to happen to the mrs but me standing up for it and suffering and/or dying made it alright for her. I'd do that.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 28 Jan 2011, 15:35, Reply)

that's self-sacrifice
it's not dying in battle or blowing up 57 people on a tube train because you think you are in a battle for something that might well never come to pass - but could come to pass if people stopped blowing each other up and actually talked to each other.

i am torn between continuing to wind you up and actually rolling my eyes at you
you are saying that you think this revolution is amazing, but will necessarily be fuelled by a few casualties. therefore that it is ok if some people die if it is for the greater good and it is inevitable.

i am saying, i fundamentally disagree that anything of this nature is worth anyone's LIFE and that people shouldn't ever kill each other. i am sorry if you think that is thick. but then again maybe if i had to exist in milton keynes i would think life is cheap too.

But yes that's partially what I'm saying.

What you're saying is that people should be shat on for generations and just suck it up because at least they're not dead.

30 years this guys been in power, anyone who tried to organise a peaceful protest was arrested and imprisoned without charge. He's killed dozens if not hundreds of political enemies but that doesn't matter it's not worth risking more life to stop him.

nope, that's not what i was saying
idyllically and unrealistically, i was simply saying that all these things should be resolved peacefully without anyone dying, and the only way to do that is for people to stop killing each other. i'm not saying it will happen. i am just saying that it SHOULD happen.

i am surprised you disagree with this, but i am sure you have your reasons.

Wait a sec, don't be so dismissive.
Imagine if there really was nothing worth dying for, therefore also there being nothing worth killing for. Extend that to hurting and you've got a pretty idealistic system.
