That's the point of order for my situations and similar situations.

Non-sequiter. Iran didn't kill these kids to save itself from danger. You'll say i'm being over literal. I say you're being obtuse.

No it's not non-sequiter, it's pertient to the why. I asked you how your viewpoints are formed. You've come up with a deliniated outline as to your philosophy, but there are shades of grey that infest our world, which is why I felt my point is germane.

Then call a spade a spade. State for the record that you believe that killing a person for their orientation is wrong, and should be considered a human rights abuse.

I have called a spade a spade.
Since you again need to see it since you aren't understanding it from my posts:
I believe that killing a person for thier orientation is wrong and is abuse against basic human rights.
My statement is DON'T SHOOT because there are others that may be unintentionally hurt because I did not act enough. You stop at your interest. I try to think about the rest of the people around, just limiting it to Steve doesn't help the individual behind him that was shot because the person still felt like pulling the trigger. Again, this is where we diverge.
