Why in the world is quantity irrelevant? Marshall Send a noteboard - 14/11/2009 06:01:13 AM
I don't care that the same label "murderer" is applied to both cases. Killing two people causes more hurt than killing only one.

Morality is a sticky issue, see Phillipa Foot's famous trolley problem. Too tired to post more.

Chasing you with an army is not hostile? Cannoli - 19/11/2009 12:59:52 AM 573 Views
Sorry... gotta disagree. Rand al'Thor - 14/11/2009 01:09:30 AM 749 Views

Even if it's not thousands of lives. Stalin got it right. Cannoli - 14/11/2009 05:33:05 AM 574 Views
I think the thousands would disagree - as would the one. *NM* Lord Haart - 25/11/2009 08:19:47 AM 267 Views
Mad, threatening, bad-tempered and cold, but not evil... Moridin_2000 - 14/11/2009 01:43:12 AM 676 Views
I disagree with prety much everything Jim - 14/11/2009 03:10:12 AM 707 Views
Wouldn't the Chaos Graendal was causing in Arad Doman be greater than the chaos Rand caused? Guava - 14/11/2009 04:11:48 AM 840 Views
nothing Graendal did almost caused the Pattern to collapse *NM* Jim - 14/11/2009 05:59:21 AM 533 Views
The chaos the Forsaken are causing is causing the world to collapse and the DO to get stronger Matrimony Cauthon - 14/11/2009 07:48:05 AM 860 Views

A murderer is evil. What difference does it make how many? That's just degrees. There's no OK number Cannoli - 14/11/2009 07:22:47 AM 625 Views
Ok, let's take this a step further Marshall - 14/11/2009 09:45:50 PM 576 Views

Tried AGAIN? Serial killing indicates a tendancy. Lord Haart - 25/11/2009 08:23:39 AM 566 Views

I think you're confusing "evil" with "risky" Cannoli - 15/11/2009 12:48:21 AM 733 Views

Rand has not yet crossed the moral event horizon of no return, redhand - 14/11/2009 03:27:22 AM 666 Views
Then he already passed the horizon by your reckoning. He DID choose to do those things. Cannoli - 14/11/2009 07:45:46 AM 748 Views
Then maybe we just have different standards. redhand - 14/11/2009 11:56:02 AM 719 Views
Why do you keep bringing up genocide? Rand was not doing that. Cannoli - 15/11/2009 01:02:23 AM 737 Views
To me, the Rules of War is nothing but a contract between parties. redhand - 15/11/2009 08:39:55 PM 527 Views
It's too late in the game to worry about followers. He has no further political agenda *NM* Cannoli - 19/11/2009 01:01:04 AM 238 Views
What Rand did that was evil. RabidWombat - 14/11/2009 04:06:17 AM 656 Views
I don't see Arad Doman Isaac - 14/11/2009 04:57:20 AM 575 Views
Take up the Dragon's burden... Cannoli - 14/11/2009 07:56:46 AM 765 Views
A wonderful commentary on 'nation building' too, I suppose Isaac - 14/11/2009 08:22:46 AM 756 Views
Priorities. Cannoli - 14/11/2009 07:52:06 AM 729 Views

Re: Perhaps Cannoli - 24/11/2009 08:28:56 PM 674 Views
I don't think he was evil Sidious - 14/11/2009 08:10:56 AM 698 Views
