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.

There's nobody else on the ship to stop him, and the only way to stop him..if there were, would be to duct tape him to a chair or throw him in the brig (if his ship has one). Then he'd have to be watched constantly, as soon as he got loose he'd make a beeline for the kid and the airlock. That's what he wants to do.
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.

"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.
