Seriously??), and I think it's vile you can still hold the views you have even after reading the (true life) story I told.
Wow.
That is fine. I respect your opinion about me. I still think you are a good person.
Well hold on a second there... if this was self defense (also including defense of another person's life), than I absolutely do not think it was an immoral act. The way you described it to me didn't sound like it was though.
Just to clarify, this is what I believe self defense to be -
If someone is attacking you (or another), you have the right to exert as much force as is necessary to stop them. No more, and no less. If that amount of force results in the offenders death, if is justified and not immoral.
If this was the case, then I absolutely agree that her actions were moral.
But I believe the only time it is moral to take another person's life is in the case of self defense. This means I oppose any death sentences, in whatever form they may come.
Wait... what's that you say? Morality is subjective?
