Thread Name: BS: taboo philosophical questions
Subject: BS: taboo philosophical questions
A philosophical question is as simple and complex as "What is justice?"

I asked a philosophical question of my activist Republican Jewish neighbor. He worked hard for Micheal Steele and George Bush.
I asked, "Does a person who spends time money and physical effort to promote an ill advised invasion that skirts US constitutional guarantees, guilty of murder and torture in the second degree?

My neighbor said that he has fortunatly never killed a man and that I should not go there. In short shut up.

I don't blame him for not wanting to go there and that I do not hold it against him since it is possible that people can be misled.
He continues his efforts regarding a drum beat for more war.

I know from experience that the Germans who staffed the concentration camps by in large had no remorse for their war crimes.
.

I realize such questions do not unify people and I hope Obama never poses such a question. Still I find it difficult to forgive the unremorseful but I felt a duty to least pose the taboo question.

right or wrong
