hahha, that has truly crossed my mind once, but yes, PC rage lol. He hasn't said a word about it for a while and for some reason he has the wireless internet turned on again. I was at my grandmas on the AF but I'm at home atm. I think it's a true work of god. Naw, but the reason is unknown and I will not "label our ignorance 'God'." haha chatty.

What if the person can't move though? IE: Everyone who could afford to move in Iraq already has. Plenty of people would like to get out of the situation.... but just how many can't afford to do so?

Its an ethical dilemma. If he has a right to be a bigot, because it is his house... then everyone else living inside it has the right to rebel against his despotism, leave, or suffer through it needlessly. Smile

You could apply the same logic to a king and his castle... He's allowed to work his people like dogs. He's allowed to charge ridiculous taxes. He's allowed to burn all the books in the library that conflict with his own beliefs, simply because the castle belongs to him.

Is he really 'allowed' to do that though? He can do that... just as I can murder you, chop off your left ankle, and toss it into the sea. But doesn't the king suffer the reaction of his people after he commits his atrocities... just as I suffer the reaction of the people after I commit mine?

I think that it is because he is king that he has the "right?" to do all of that... If I owned the castle, and tried to do that to the people inside of it: I would hardly do so without consequences.

I should have quoted the other guy. Sorry, lol.

I agree with you. I'm just using the king and the castle to illustrate my point.

Why say sorry if you didn't have anything to apologize for? ^_^

It is more King and his King-dom than King and his castle Smile
