As for races, it's not the skin color, but culture that makes people act different.
And yes, people with this or that race have separate culture omitted to the race, so unfortunately, everything said can be taken as attack against both of things.
I'd say "people of African culture are this or that" and crappy thing is, saying "black people are this or that" and it would be almost same, since most black people leave in Africa.
It's also interesting that "not racist"  is more important to be nowadays than "honest". Eh, we'll regret this one day. But then it's too late. But this is totally offtopic here.

Especially since today, not being racist only means accepting other cultures, whether similar to ours or horribly inhumane (like those indian tribes who let their children jump from a tower), but one's own cultural surroundings can be insulted as one likes. One example would be the constant atheist vs. christian argument in Europe, but if you criticize Islam, THEN you're clearly a racist.

I'm not talking about capital punishment, what I mean is that executing someone without a trial is not only harsher than having stronger punishments, but it's also against the principle of rule-by-law.
Or, as historian Ernst Nolte once put it:

QuoteI demand justice for everybody, even for Adolf Hitler!

Soooo.... you ARE for letting criminals pay, eye for an eye, thooth for a tooth? I don't quite get it. Is being a dictator a crime different from any other kind? That's actually worse than what you condemned to this second.

@Matti: So you are simply saying, that taking a hard stance on crime makes you want to overthrow the government, and therefore you believe a government should be lenient on crime? That makes absolutely NO SENSE!

Good luck defining that. Leftist supporters have used that word so often even for social democracies. So, apparently overthrowing the government is always legitimate as long as you want to intall something more left-wing? Man, the Antifa here in my home country would be proud of you...

No, I'm saying that a government that publicly hangs people should be overthrown.

I understand that to be a joke (Neither Hitler, Stalin nor any other modern-day tyrant did that), but it doesn't answer my question except that it hints at you not being able to seriously define that.

It's legal to push a homeless out of a train station at night so that he might die in winter. It's legal to imprison someone who owns a certain amount of dope. It's illegal to have sex with someone <18 if you're older than that. It's illegal to play instruments in a train without permission.

I'd consider doing good things as 'good', not abiding the law.

So... in your world, where things are just defined as "wrong" and "right", who told you that having sex with someone younger than 18, annoying people on a train with your mediocre guitar skills or that even consuming drugs is actually not wrong? There's something wrong in your logic. And that is one thing I can definitely say is wrong.

Disagreed! There'd be a civil war! And if I'd live there I would fight!

So mr. Matti would start a civil war for.... his right to -- loot shops and burn cars.

No, but I think that fascist governments should be overthrown as soon as possible.

Good luck defining that. Leftist supporters have used that word so often even for social democracies. So, apparently overthrowing the government is always legitimate as long as you want to intall something more left-wing? Man, the Antifa here in my home country would be proud of you...

Is it very human to use violence against innocent people and their posessions without a real reason?

This topic makes me think of the lazy bones paradox:

"If destiny designed a master plan which defines everything that is to happen, isn't it useless, for example, to go to a doctor? If I am ill and it is my destiny to regain health, then I will regain health whether I visit a doctor or not. If it is my destiny to not regain my health, then seeing a doctor can't help me."

Flawed? Maybe. Fun to throw out there in this discussion though.

Well, but the person's fate wouldn't be to regain health, but to [not] go to the doctor AND [not] regain health. Therefore, if you don't go see a doctor, your fate will most likely be not to regain health.

I'll tell you what: Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

That not only makes fortune-telling impossibly, but also to find out whether there is in fact free will, or whether we're determined by past events.
