What a silly take it or leave it response. Are you really intending to engage them in a serious discourse?
- steveeq1 7y agoMy point is that yes, you do have a responsibility to do good and not just leave it up the tech company or lawmakers. And no it is not silly.
- jaywalk 7y agoNot silly? Your response was borderline ridiculous. It's as if I said I'd have no problem working on tech for military drones, and your reply was "So you'd be fine with just going up to a random person and shooting them in the head?" Responses like that have no place in serious discourse.
- steveeq1 7y agoYou can make the argument that military drones are necessary for defense (although that point is debatable). There is no justification for going to a random person and shooting them in the head. False analogy.
- seattle_spring 7y agoThere's also no justification for owning slaves, so it seems like a pretty apt analogy.
- steveeq1 7y agoand hence, you can't use the "i'm only doing my job" excuse.
- steveeq1 7y agoI can't believe this answer got downvoted.
- qmmmur 7y agoIt's hyperbolic. The world is full of _nuance_ friend...
