Killing them is not extreme enough?
I'm sure you can come up with something that doesn't involve murdering innocent people
To me, that is a perverse thought. I cannot justify the killing of innocents today to make the world a better place tomorrow.
Ah, the greater good! It's always good to kill people if it's for the greater good.
Absolutely - I don't think any of this justifies a killing.
So it's ok to kill other people but not yours?
“some people think somebody being like that gives them a free ride to kill/torture them” is exactly why it matters.
"Killing people I don't like is ok" is not a very nice line of thinking
Wait, you're suggesting we should murder people? If so, I'm out.
I don't think it's contingent on them killing someone else.
