That was what I was getting at; legally it is NOT cut and dried. Besides, I said 'sink them' not' kill ' them (on purpose).
It is quite cut and dry. Just because another commits an act of piracy against you doesn't give you the right to sink them, anymore than executing a felon once you've got the upper hand. Context, in any legal situation, is always maintained.
You two are reprehensible.
Doubly so for advocating "sinking" and then saying "What?! I'm not KILLING them".
Because boats sink SOOO easily without a significant chance of lives lost (when boats sink, repeat after me, it is NOT a catastrophic event).
Padraic, one time you wrote of how I had "disappointed you" for falling into bigotry against Islam.
Yet you freely advocate actions that are unsafe at best, catastrophic at worst, to get rid of an "annoyance."
You didn't prefix it with "In the event of danger". Nope, it was "I'd do my utmost" to cause harm.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
