Comment on The only difference between a humane and an inhumane death, is whether or not it leaves a mess.

  Self-defense is inhumane? Call out the invader first, please, then we can talk about whether the defender is overdoing it.

    Killing is inhumane.

    Killing in self defense might be necessary, yet it does not become humane just because you want it to.

  It is because of the way it is, otherwise he shoots you and rapes your children. (No exaggeration, Russians did that)

    That sounds like your average american too.

    Nonetheless, if you start thinking that killing is humane because “they deserve it”, I will repeat myself, you have a serious problem.

    Because I’m pretty sure that this horrible rapist invader is also convinced that you deserve it, yet I don’t believe you would find their behaviour humane for that reason.

      Fair enough. While I don’t subscribe to pacifism, I do prefer that self-defense be regarded as an unfortunate necessity. Celebrating violence isn’t going to help us.

        It can be a necessity and still be inhumane.

        Having to do something does not make it good, and it’s fine as long as people see it.

        Because I said that killing is inhumane?

        Oh I forgot, Russia doesn’t kill anyone, silly me /s
