To me, this does not seem logical (for the dictionary definition of "condone"). Would you mind explaining your reasoning?
- cjohnson318 6y agoThis was related to the parent comment that asked, rhetorically, if visiting an incarcerated rapist meant that you condoned rape. I was pointing out that visiting a criminal does not directly imply that you condoned the actions that landed them in prison. However, if you know someone that is committing crimes, and you do nothing to stop them, then you do condone their behavior. I hope that clears it up?
