***According to VK's "reasoning" the murder of one is the same as the murder of millions.That is a gross oversimplification, of course. There are other factors to consider, as is always done by courts.
***Perhaps this is so, ethically speaking.
To many, any death sentence is murder, to others it is justice. There is room for interpretation in some cases.
***What government is not guilty?
Of what? Of "final solution"? Of gross misconduct? Of stealing an apple?
What human being is not guilty? Some and not all are, however, considered murderers.
***But killing one is not the same as destroying a culture or a way of life thru genocide.
No argument here.
***So what criteria do we use when we pick a target for a political rant.
Personal prefrerence, " experience+knowledge", current Media exposure?All ARE legitimate reasons. Irish will naturally talk about one crime, Jews about another. I see nothing wrong with that.
***All of the above?Yes.
***So where are the posts attacking China in Tibet, Britain in N. Ireland, U.S. in Cetral/South America,etc,etc. Personal politcal philosophy will be the ultimate arbiter I guess. Some crimes will loom larger depending on which system commits them. And which system we personally prefer.
You have as much right to bring up subjects of those crimes as anyone else. You shouldn't, however, use the fact that someone had not addressed your favorite issue as sign of insincerity.
Write about it, cite the facts, scream if needed. It is all in your hands.
I shall scream about those crimes that touch me most. Please feel free to do the same.
