You know the funniest thing? Most Oxen think they know what they're talking about when they open their mouths.

There's far more to it than just those criteria. If I kill someone in defense of my family, and don't regret the action, am I immediately classified as a psychopathic murderer?

Absolutely. Killing should be done only as the last resort, and if you don't feel serious consequences after that, you're psycopathic. But you probably would feel regret.

Shooting helpless civilians makes you a murderer, shooting enemy combatants who are about to shoot you is a sad fact of war.

Shooting both are sad truths, especially when everyone is a civilian when drafts are put in. I'd be more ok if the government just advertised contained cock fights by choice and advertised it as such and spent much less money on it, but that's not what's happening. War never leaves out innocent folk and land being hurt or killed. Every soldier who kills or does military deeds takes part in wrecking folk and their land. Psycopath.

USSR > USA

USA never stopped existing.

You know the funniest thing? Most Americans actually believe Reagan stopped the Cold War and not Gorbachev xD it's hilarious to me. Dumb patriots.

Hmm, one to talk about dumb patriots, eh?

Irony was intentional.

EDIT: But, I do believe what I said before that last remark.

Sometimes there's only one option.

By your definitions anyone who's not a total pacifist is a psychopath. Pacifism is great in an ideal world, but currently it's not practical.

One life saved doesn't cancel out killing a life

Of course it does. How would it not? If someone is going to die without you, and someone else dies because you helped them, it all goes to 0.

Sometimes there's only one option.

There has not been a war in the last 100 years that was the only choice left.

By your definitions anyone who's not a total pacifist is a psychopath.

I'm not even saying only "pacifists", but everyone who are executioners of a politic war machine are definitely psycopathic. They have no care for life. They are heartless, and a very big part of the problem. Now, for those that were executioners but truly regret, then, no, they're not psycopaths.

It's very practic, way more practic than a militarist world, but it's not going to happen. It's not pragmatic.

Killing means taking a life away. Saving doesn't mean giving a life, it means holding a life.

Oh aliens are attacking X again. Darn the aliens.

If a guy was holding a gun to X's head, about to shoot, and you killed that guy, would you lose a net life?

Yeah...are you really asking that?

3 folk in the beginning.
2 in the end.
