Of course I would. That still doesn't make it right. Protecting them would only give a legal reason for me to do so.


So you're making an excuse for the killing of another human being. Hypocrite alert.

They "young" and the "mentally challenged" are still more intelligent than the other species on this planet.

Not always. Pigs can be as smart as a three year old child. There are many species that are smarter than some of us. And intelligence is also subjective, as someone else said. It really cannot be accurately measured.

Exactly. Therefore you cannot use the word killing. And since murder is subjective, you have no argument.

Um, what? I'm pretty sure abortion classifies as killing seeing as how it's ending a life.

As I've said SEVERAL times before, if you use the word killing, you refer to the ending of any life, therefore you admit that killing anything is bad, therefore you are a hypocrite.

And? They still aren't sentient, therefore using your logic you can kill them.

Disagreed once again, whther or not ones brain is developed does not acuratlly represent intellegence. a 13 year old may know more than a 30 year old

Screaming "hypocrisy" isn't getting you anywhere. I already told you. Killing someone is wrong, but protection is a legal reason to do so. I never said killing someone for protection was right, but you're acting like I did.
