It's that time again!

Hey there New Feathers; I'm Guy Cecil, proprietor -if I can call it that- and bartender for the Good Spirits bar, right next to the weapons shop and smithy and just down the street from the clinic. If you ever need a drink, a listening ear or some answers, I'll do my best to provide all three. I look forward to seeing new ( Read more... )

[lawls personal experience]

Criminals should pay for their crimes.

count_gardios September 20 2009, 18:29:45 UTC

Is it considered a crime when you're doing what your king, or superior or whatever-you-have orders to you?

junesbrand September 20 2009, 18:32:48 UTC

If it's wrong, you have the ability to not do it.

count_gardios September 20 2009, 18:33:57 UTC

That's true.

What about killing in the name of self-defense? Is that wrong, too?

junesbrand September 20 2009, 18:40:20 UTC

Self-defense, protection.. Yeah, I consider those legit reasons.

count_gardios September 20 2009, 18:42:28 UTC

But the family of those people killed for the sake of self-defense and protection might view what you did as a crime. What should you do then?

junesbrand September 20 2009, 18:49:06 UTC

[what the-- shit nothing he's ever killed had families.. .. or did they? Little shadow babies running around, the shadow wife at home.. pffffttt]

I-- Well, if they.. [sob he's just realizing what he walked into.]

count_gardios September 20 2009, 18:54:55 UTC

...it's a very gray area, I think.

junesbrand September 20 2009, 19:47:19 UTC

.. I just know that if they commit the crime knowing what they were doing, then they can't be allowed to 'let live' like nothing happened.

count_gardios September 20 2009, 22:41:45 UTC

Hm.

So...hypothetically speaking. A soldier is ordered by his General to kill a prisoner of war, an unwarranted execution. He knows if he refuses that he'll be court-martialed and discharged from the army, possibly putting himself permanently out of work and unable to support his family. Probably even branding himself a national disgrace. So he goes through with it.

Is that a crime?

junesbrand September 20 2009, 23:50:20 UTC

Now that's heavy.

I figure, you can either live with the knowledge you allowed yourself to be used like that, or you can take a stand and have pride that you didn't. I wouldn't be able to live myself if I did something like that.

count_gardios September 21 2009, 00:29:54 UTC

Hm. I see.

junesbrand September 21 2009, 00:37:10 UTC

[what are these typos guh "knowledge THAT you", "to live WITH myself"]

What's with the questions? I don't think you're talking about the light show anymore.

count_gardios September 21 2009, 00:45:27 UTC

[I gotcha bro. :|b]

Ahh, I'm just nosy. I like to hear people's opinions on controversial issues.
