Not being as evil as they possibly could is not really good.

- manigandham 7y agoThere are dozens of countries murdering their own citizens. The US is not nearly as much as problem as people want to make it seem and Pax Americana has led to almost a century without major worldwide war.
- qwsxyh 7y ago> There are dozens of countries murdering their own citizens. I assume you're including the US in this, too.
- manigandham 7y agoIn what way?
- ganzuul 7y agoThe death sentence is the same thing, just with more decoration.
- manigandham 7y agoYou mean criminals tried, found guilty, lost all appeals, and sentenced to death? This is not the same thing as countries killing their own innocent citizens.
- ganzuul 7y agoYes. Many have been wrongly sentenced in spite of all those decorations.
- manigandham 7y agoThere's a massive difference between wrongly-fully sentenced inmates and countries that kill innocents through authoritarian means. It's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
- ganzuul 7y agoThere are similarities too.
- manigandham 7y agoWhich are overshadowed by the differences. North Korea and the United States are not the same, but you already know this.
- ganzuul 7y agoThey are not overshadowed because life is not a commodity bartered according to rules of law. Once you take a life there is no restitution. Life is not a transaction: it is destiny, and it is above the law. Rules and reasons for why killing is okay are therefore all equally wrong.
- tdhoot 7y agoI suppose Euthanasia is wrong in your book too?
- ganzuul 7y agoNo, you're wrong.
- manigandham 7y agoThis is a religious stance and not how the world actually works, nor does it have anything to do with the previous discussion of the relative moralities and freedoms of countries. Since you think North Korea is the same as the US, there's nothing further to discuss here.
