Basically exactly what He said except for the cop part. He mentioned how he couldn’t live with himself if he took someone else’s life. Again. I stopped talking after He said that. No point.
I had basically the same conversation with a woman at work, she a self-proclaimed pacifist.
I asked her is she would not defend her child against an attacker or rapist. She replied she could not live with herself if she hurt someone. I asked if she would allow me to adopt her child as she did not have enough intelligence to be a parent. We have not spoken since that conversation.
You are right: can’t fix stupid.
