In light of that not being a current reality, there's the reason that the bank robber does his bad thing i.e. wanting to get away with the money, and there's the reason for terrorism i.e. freedom fighting, well, because freedom. Some western country is likely, and has likely, interfered in their country's affairs for way too long. I'd like to know before people get killed. Icky labels with many shades of white. I would say that the freedom fighter be shown "leniency" i.e. allowed to walk so that a WHY can be asked for publicly.

Now that'd be a TV show worth watching. An East v's West should the self-professed freedom fighter be allowed to wear that badge of honour? Interactive and without the need for brain explosives. Why would the East bother watching? Because you will behead the "perp" at the behest of the global public. I claim copyright n all that other shit that means it's my idea and that you have to pay me squillions if you wanna use it

How long before someone hacks the System?
Also given 10% failure rate seems to be considered acceptable, do you want to be one of the ten?

Even premium chips have a failure rate.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

do you believe that?

And the final question then is this: if there was a threat in Afghanistan that if left unchecked could grow to the point where it would be a matter of self defence and anyone that is strategically important to me - does your version of morality allow you to march in and invade?

especially since in the modern world, physical distance has little to no bearing on whether the threat is real or not.

no on all counts

Sounds about right. Invading someone else's country can also be liberation, to put an end to bullying of the populace by their govt and armed forces.

So you would give your life to preserve a morally bankrupt govt, even if the govt seeking to replace them was better in every way? Or does that not fall under defending me and mine? Seems the definitions of acceptable wars are getting a bit more cloudy, and a bit less naive

Firstly, it had the desired effect of you explaining your reasoning; secondly, it was used in the right context: "The quality of being open to more than one interpretation; inexactness:" of which emoticons certainly are.

as the lady said "no, no, a thousand times no" (or 'ho, ho, ho', it being about that time of year)

doesn't matter how many times i say 'horse chestnut' you persist in trying to make it mean 'chestnut horse' and it's a lose/lose

so, like trying to teach a dog to crochet, we've reconfirmed that persistence doesn't always result in understanding

shame really (the understanding bit, not the crochet bit

)
