I think there could be some cases where violence isn’t necessarily a bad or evil thing in other words.
If a man came into your home with a gun and you killed him protecting your family, I for one would see the need.
And yet there are some who would say YOU were the bad guy
‘cause the other guy is dead, can’t apeak for himself, you planted the gun, he was only hungry, a product of evil America...OMG there’s literally a million excuses!
People go to jail for doing such a thing and they weren’t even at fault, for all kinds of wrong reasons, all over the world.
Just like we would think it harsh if a kid had a hand lopped off for taking an apple, it’s again all about perception isn’t it?
If you were born and raised in Japan, a Japanese, once your brain perceived WW2, the very first thought in your mind would probably be Hiroshima (and/or Nagasaki).
But if you were American, it may more likely be Pearl Harbor.
That’s the way I see science, either with or without God’s fingerprints (with or without purpose).
“Enjoy the movie, and I look forward to hearing your comments afterward”
I’ll make a point to share them with you! (BTW, what’s ‘Dog Gone’ about?)
I’m seriously thinking about Iron Man tomorrow or this weekend though, my son is chomping at the bit...and most likely I’ll see Stein’s movie alone ‘cause no one in my family cares too much about culture wars and politics etc.
SMART! :)
The day I signed up at FR, I was really really pissed at Bill Clinton, although I forget the exact incident that prompted me to make the leap to making my first post.
My first thought of a screen name was Damn It, but I sensed that might be too harsh a name for the forum, and that my mood might not always be one of fury towards Bill.
Doggoneit was the G-rated version of my first inclination, and thus I signed up as Dog Gone.
No dogs were lost in the making of this screen name.
