Discussion about morals

THAT depends on whom is doing the defining.


The distinction is often blurred. AND human beings have the quaint habit of redefining 'murder' to suite circumstances. Politicians and religions are expert at such moral sleight of hand. -----Then there are the psychos, opportunists and the mentally deficient who rave on about one of the more obscene oxymorons;the just war.

No, I'm pretty sure Murder and Warfare are still two different things, regardless of moral implications. There's a meaningful difference when having a conversation. You can argue warfare is murder, and that's an interesting debate on it's own, but if Joe Smith down the street kills his wife, that's not warfare.
