    Hypothetical situation!

    This poll is about a hypothetical situation. Let's say you were talking to someone and they said they don't believe in human rights. And then they went on to say they don't believe torture should be banned.

    This person doesn't believe the government should dictate HIS morals... or really, any morals at all... because if the government dictates some morals, it might have to dictate all morals. And if the government bans some bad things like say, murder and torture (and maybe the genocide of a race of people), then it will be forcing morality down our throats! And that's just bad. The government can't be forcing morality down our throats.

    What an amazing brand of logical thinking this is, folks.

    Let's also say that this person acknowledges, though in weak terms, that the Holocaust was morally wrong. But this person is also ambiguous of whether or not Germany had a legal right to do what they did.

    Knowing all this... HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING...

    Would you want to punch this fictional person in the face?

      No. They have the right to be a dumbass.

        well, I didn't say they don't have a right to be a dumbass

        but sometimes, it's okay to want to punch someone, even if they are doing something that is "their right"

        for instance, I support the right for the Nazis to march down any street in America... however, after their march, when they go home, I'll be right there ready to punch them in the balls
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          No, but I might punch him in the face for his grammar errors. HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING.

            No, violence is wrong. Though if it weren't, I would suggest that he is a prime target for it.

              Eh, smacking the guy won't change his mind. And if it did, it wouldn't be worth the effort to do it. The next guy who beat the fool would just change his opinion to something else. Plus people tend to hit back when hit. So no.

                        Oh, sorry Sava. Wasn't aware that you were arguing with yourself.

                        Btw. Are you using a A or B ?

                            Sava, I don't mind that you have a DL where you vent your more inane views, but please, do it in a little more intelligent way.
