re: #350 Obdicut

No. You have no idea if the brother would have remained alive if the other policy had been chosen. Why are you choosing to ignore that?

I am not ignoring it: littlegreenfootballs.com

The word ‘need’ does not appear there, nor any synonym of it.

Oh, I thought you had made an argument in there about how your views on the policies leading up to (causing or not preventing) of your brother’s death would determine your acceptance of your brother’s death and that that argument was one involving neccessity rather than contingency. My bad.

Yes. Not in order to not be a hypocrite, and not to not appear as a hypocrite. Do you not understand the difference?

I understand the difference between being and appearance. But if hypocrisy has nothing to do with this, then why did you bring it up?

Jesus. You said you disagreed. So, what would you think I should do, rather than accept it?

My disagreement does not mean that you should do something differently.
