That's really sick. That whole "Do unto others..." thing just suffered another crushing blow.

How so? Four guys came into a store prepared to kill people for money and they got killed in return. Sounds like "do unto others..." was upheld perfectly in this instance.

Really? It's "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." I doubt anyone wants to be shot dead.

Anyway, it's a double standard when it's wrong to kill people (case of the robbers) and then it's alright to kill people (case of the store owner). You can add whatever qualifiers you want, but they mean nothing. Who's to say the morals of the robber ("kill for money," although it isn't known if he'd actually do that) are wrong in comparison with the owner's ("kill in defense," although we can't actually know if he thought that)? I mean, when two people have two separate things they'd kill for, who can really say who's motivation is "right"? If killing's alright in one case, it's alright in all cases, and vice-versa.

That's really sick. That whole "Do unto others..." thing just suffered another crushing blow.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to seem insulting. I'm just sick of seeing people quote others when they could come up with a more meaningful thought on their own. People need to learn how to trust themselves, which is not to say that everyone who quotes doesn't. It's just the case sometimes.

And I'm not sure I'm trying to act above others just by giving my opinion, but I do hope my approach to life corresponds with my username, given that that's the whole idea.

They make those things for the same sort of people who buy 120 GB mp3 players. Complete waste of money.

You can fill up 120 GB, but you can't "use" it. There's such a thing as moderation, and even for the people who have 200,000 songs in their collection, it doesn't hurt to show it once in a while. After all, you can only listen to one song at a time.

I'll have been 17 next February 15th.

I'd go back in time to stop that one guy who went back in time to change one event in history but accidentally screwed everything up.
