Those are some good points kid, though I do consider captial punishment wrong... Give me a life sentance though and I might be asking for capital punishment one day.
I like the fact that you're trying to prove that things can't be proved one way or the other. ;) heh heh. This applies to many people here, as well as myself.

That's exactly what I like about nihilism. It denies it's own existence. ;-) It's self-contradictory. The ultimate in being unsure, admitting "I don't know" by saying "I know that's not right because I also know this." Knowledge systems tear each other apart.

Well, a thousand years ago most people had little objection to raping "others" (people of different religions/nationalities). They sure were human.
As for sex, I think having sex with someone you are just using is wrong, but if you both have mutual feelings about it, its fine.
And the thing about soldiers having mental problems... I think most of there problems come from the fact that they came so close to dying and were so scared, not that they killed people. Most soldiers have no problem killing until they get back to the civilised world, because they jut don't understand how to get back to "normal". And, then there conscious starts catching up with them. If you live your whole life as an animal, you probably would have no objection to acting like an animal. Just look at the terrorists from Afghanistan, they sure felt they were doing good crashing into those buildings. Christians used to execute pagans by the hundreds because they would not renounce there religions. Few people had any objections to this, but if it happened today I'm sure there would be plenty.

Ya... I'd forgotten about the "Dark Ages" too... That was a time where there seemed to be very little "good and evil" and like you said, they were human beings too... People will do what people will do, and if they jusify it, they will have no problems doing it.

I said murder is only acceptable in mostcultures when killing the enemy e.g criminals on death row(the act of killing is not seen as good in such a society i dont think, thats why its used as punishment and im sure the majority of people in those kinds of societies would rather the criminals behaved so that they didnt have to kill them) and i also said there is exceptions.
