... I know that this has been asked before, but there are many new people on the community as of late, and... I would like to know your opinions. Perhaps it would be best to say it is somewhat of a personal matter, now.What is the most despicable crime to commit, do you think

Betrayal.

There's no excuse.

[phoenix_temple]

No excuse at all?

Well, first, what do you consider betrayal to be, exactly?

[peoplesprincess]

Working against your country, or someone that you're supposed to be sided with.

[phoenix_temple]

And if you become aware that your country or allies are in the wrong?

[stripping]

I hate to even bring it up, but I can think of no circumstances in which rape is acceptable.

[phoenix_temple]

You make a fantastic point, Issei-san.

[stripping]

As far as whether that automatically condemns them to being a bad person... I don't know. I believe that even if someone were to commit such an act, they could eventually grow into a person who would be repulsed by his own actions; such a person could be considered a good person. Still, that person would be undoubtedly a bad person at the time the act was committed.

...I talk too much. My apologies.

[phoenix_temple]

Not at all.

I have already formed my own beliefs on such matters. I would not haves asked if I wasn't curious to hear what others thought on them.

So they could be a good person, who has done bad things in their past?

... I'm going to have to agree with Azula. Betrayal is the worst possible thing to do. I think I heard of a line from a play on Earth - "Betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope."

The only thing I can think of that would make it acceptable is if the people being betrayed are in the wrong, and can't be made to see it or to change.

[phoenix_temple]

"One should rather die than be betrayed." It is a very personal issue with a very personal answer.

Though it is smart to realize that there are cases in which it is necessary.

[unluckychimera]

Thinking in absolutes is almost never a good plan. Too easy to get blindsided by something that doesn't fit.

Killing an animal.

[phoenix_temple]

What if the animal was in pain?

[anon]

[delilahs_reaper]

A mercy killing is understandable. I meant more in the vein of senselessly harming an animal.

[OH WAIT she's anon too]

[phoenix_temple]

There are many situations which require harming an animal. If one is being attacked, there is little else they can do.

... However, your answer is something I did not expect. It... is somewhat reassuring, though.

...Setting someone up as the fall guy for murder, or rape.

[phoenix_temple]

Framing another?

[bittervictor]

Yeah.

The crime is bad enough. Pinning it on someone else - that's ruining two lives.
