[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Well, first things first. Self means one's own interests, welfare, or advantage. So, self-righteous people like to parade their own interests with regards to virtue and morality without regard to others' feelings on those same virtues and moralities. Hence, they need to get that stick out of their ass. Also, I might mention, you've got just as much in common with those Chinese. They're rather fond of State Executions as well. [i]Redefining the english word "murder" to mean something completely different from what it currently means does not affect the actual meaning of the word spoken several millenia ago. It simple means that we must find a different word that conveys the same meaning, since the word "murder" in our language has been corrupted to mean something other than intended.[/i] Holy Mary, Mother of God! WE AGREE! This is what I've been saying all along, Omega! God was speaking in a different language, and he didn't say "murder", he used a Hebrew word which only "closely" translates to "murder", besides which, God didn't use said-Hebrew word with any intention of having Twentieth (and Twenty-First) century legal definitions used with the "closest" English translation of it. Therefore, when people defend their views towards Self-Defense and the Death-Penalty by saying, "it's not 'thou shalt not kill', it's 'thou shalf not murder'" they don't know what they're talking about. Er. Wait, so what was the point of your rant above if you were just going to agree with me anyway? [/QB][/QUOTE]
