How about the death penalty? It is a violation of human rights with a clear right and wrong side.
Where is the public outrage over death-penalty supporters in the FOSS world?
- coldpie 13y ago> It is a violation of human rights with a clear right and wrong side. I'm not sure that's true. Look at our murder laws for example. We have several different degrees of murder severity, depending on planning and forethought. In some cases murder is even downgraded to voluntary manslaughter where it legally is no longer considered murder. Causing the death of another human is hardly a black and white issue. In short, a reasonable person could argue that removing certain people from the population is the best course of action. You and I may disagree, but this other person does have some rationale to back up his/her argument.
- sentenza 13y agoI chose this particular example because it is a rather uncontroversial human rights issue here in Europe, whereas the Americans are still undecided. Here in Europe it is seen as imperative that the state should never be allowed to intentful kill one of its citizens.
