Has algore written another book???
"Because I believe that abortion is murder, I also believe that force is justified ... in an attempt to stop it," Rudolph wrote."
I can't argue with that.
Using force, deadly force to protect the life of another or yourself IS the defining verbage of "Deadly Force".
Well, come here to Thailand and I will be more than happy to take you to orphanages filled with children suffering the effects of AIDS. I will also be more than happy to introduce you to people here from all walks of life who also have AIDS because of inadequate sterilization of needles and other similar reasons. Sorry, AIDS is not only a gay disease.
Semantics are hardly worth debating but there is little difference between murder and killing aside from potentially the level of malice.
"And does that make it right? Does that mean I can kill."
I personaly don't believe in killing in any form, but if you choose to recognize it as legitamite in any form; abortion, execution, terrorism, then yes it means you can kill/murder because you have justified it in your mind and will find others in the justice system, law enforcement, judges, juries, lawyers who will support you and thus you have granted yourself the ability to take life.
It happens everyday.
I never said AIDS was an exclusivly GAY disease, but you are arguing with facts. It's all right there, Gay men are most at risk for contracting AIDs in the US. And I don't want to see anyway die because they were misinformed.
And my point is, that no one deserves to die from AIDs.
You are putting words in my mouth.
I don't believe those examples carry the same degree of malice but both would be instances of murder.
When we hear descriptions of heinous and wicked acts carried out against one another and against the innocent it makes our stomachs turn and fills us with anger. Individually our emotions desire vengeance but collectively we need to seek justice. They are very different things.
You despise and carry ill will for all murderers and so do I but killing them makes you a murderer. I agree it is common sense.
No. One is murder and the other is killing. Killing can be justified.
I can't argue with that.
The imprecatory psalms are in the Bible for a reason -- to be used by godly congregations as spiritual weaponry against evil and evildoers. I knew of a case once where a pro-abort kid appointed himself harasser of the picketers. As Christians peacefully assembled outside the abortuary, this jerk loudly read pornography to them. Finally, two brothers returned the favor, reading imprecatory psalms back. "Robin, this is how God regards his enemies," they gently explained. "Do you REALLY want to continue being an enemy of God?"
This apparently healthy 20-something guy was found dead in his bed a week later of natural causes. Actually supernatural.
Anything can be justified in one's own mind. I just did my taxes and made some outrageous deductions that I felt I could justify, the IRS may pass a different judgement however.
So you can support your justified killings in your own mind and not consider it the murder that I know it to be.
Consider the following:
"After five years on Louisiana's death row, Ryan Matthews received a second chance at life. He was exonerated last year with the help of DNA evidence.
"He was 17 years old at the time of his arrest and is borderline retarded," said Martha Kashickey, the public-education associate for the Innocence Project at Yeshiva University's law school in New York City.
"Post-conviction DNA testing on the mask the perpetrator left at the scene both exonerated Matthews and revealed the identity of the actual perpetrator," Kashickey said from New York City."

If this innocent man had been killed as you desire, it would certianly be murder, how could it be otherwise.
I reject the idea of killing/murder and God will have the final judgement on us all including you.
"U.S. Attorney Alice Martin's recommendation on the $1 million reward will be forwarded to the FBI, but the final decision is up to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales."

Why wouldn't the local cop or city of Murphy get the million? The fbi did nothing to catch Eric.
So who did Rudolph save?
