    I just heard a woman on the news saying that a murder in her neighbourhood was "senseless." That got me thinking, is there such a thing as a SENSIBLE murder?
    (I of course don't think so, but that's me, the wanna-be paladin.)

    Sense doesnt apply to right or wrong. It is wrong to kill someone for several million dollars, but it is not senseless. It is as wrong to kill someone because they have green shoes but I atleast would define that as senseless.

    Killing a major terorist could be called a sensible murder.

    [​IMG] it must be bloody difficult to commit a 'senseless' murder, being unable to see, hear, smell, feel or taste (?) your victim! :grin: :rolleyes:

    When killing is never sensible, then why does USA still have the dead penalty on many crimes?

    Headbanger, because they believe it's a democratic solution. When you take a life, you at the same time forfeit the right to have one. Eye for an Eye straight out of the Old Testament.

    Lokken, there is also a New Testament: Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Mat.5)
    (funny language, that Olde English :) )

    Also, "Let he who has not sinned, cast the first stone." (One of the Gospels, I can't remember which :p)
