Only one partial objection in cases where the "sports" is to train for killing. > So your country's soldiers are murderers? Yes, if they kill. But I am not a citizen of Iceland and in any case it's not limited to my country, for that matter. There is no license to kill - for no one and from no one. > If you come home and find a man brutally beating and raping your > daughter, and you hit him over the head with a club of some sort - > killing him - you're a murderer? Depends. Self defense is a touchy topic, but when defense becomes revenge, rather than simple defense, yes, then it is murder (although it will be hard to prove if someone goes "over the top" in such a situation). > How do you "change people" exactly? If I had the answer, I wouldn't pose it as a question. But I understand myself as a scientist, so I search for answers, rather than giving up and live with the (cruel) alternative. > No, direct response to your question. You want to "change" people so > that they don't use firearms to kill one another - what is it that you > want them to kill each other with? I don't want them to kill each other at all?! Oh wait, in response to your previous message that would mean we'd have to get rid of the motive. Now how could we achieve that ... > Of course it is, wait for the next ice age... True.
