Yonadav's Spaceship
#31
RE: Yonadav's Spaceship
It was fortuitously located in a forced birther fold in spacetime. These folds are unaffected by the goings on of the rest of the universe.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What defence can be made on your behalf if the child realises what is going on, poisons your morning coffee and is wondering whether whether to give you the antidote?

Another question. Who is the one to judge what is right and what is wrong or what defence is correct?

That's an obvious question, not an insightful one.

Well what's the answer then.

What can I say to that?  Justice depends on honesty.

What justice?  It's just us...as in yon and the kid he wants to toss out the airlock. Either the kid is going out into the void or it isn't. People who toss kids out of airlocks are honestly okay with tossing kids out of airlocks.
(there's a ton of irony in trying to inject honesty into this thread, lol)

So you think execution is a proportionate response to being annoying?  That doesn't seem like honesty to me.

"Honesty" about our emotions is not honesty if our emotions are inaccurate.  Everyone should know our emotions lie to us all the time.

It doesn't matter what I think.  There are two people on the spaceship..yon and some unfreeze dried kid.  One of those people has indicated that they're interested in tossing the other out the airlock.  Smart money says that's what's going to happen.

I, personally, wouldn't toss a kid out of an airlock..so I don't do it or contemplate doing it, problem solved.  We're obviously not dealing with me in this setup. Nor...for that matter..are we dealing with an even remotely honest person, lol.

My guess is that when you ask the child to please step into the airlock, she will tell you to fuck off, and rightfully so.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
