The fact that you're OK with that is so off putting that I need a drink now. So, cheers I suppose.
You're telling me you're actually good with the whole 'might makes right' deal?

"Good with" is too ambiguous to address. For practical purposes, I've yet to see an alternative to might makes right. Do you have a suggestion?
Morality is a matter of opinion. If you're in a gang, it may be morally correct to you to kill a rival gang member in certain circumstances. Society at large says that such killing is morally incorrect. The difference is that society has instituted powers greater than that of the gang. Sure, the gang member can sit in jail and complain that he was justified in what he did. It's a matter of opinion. But it's not going to do him any good.
