So, you're one of the saints who voted NO and would allow terrorists to murder your family in cold blood, is that right?
So many protests, but so few YES or NO votes. That indicates shame and cowardice.
If our actions in crises matched our core beliefs and ideals, we wouldn't need ethics, would we? Ethics are what we should do, given a particular situation. Reality is what we would do, given a particular situation.
There's no shame in admitting that our realities don't match our ideals. Every day, we are forced to choose between our core beliefs and ideals and the realities of life. Most choices are easy, while others like this hostage-president dilemma are not.
Unlike this poll, you won't be able to weasel out of answering YES or NO when that time comes. Your choices will define who and what you REALLY believe.
Odd words from a proponent of a religion with attitudes like "turn the other cheek" and "blessed are the meek".
There's no way I'm trusting terrorists to spare my family.
