The law and the values are indistinguishable. Something being the law does not in any way make it right. So the question is not what the law is, but what it should be. Otherwise you end up arguing in favor of the fugitive slave act. My point is that S Korea is doing a bad thing, not that they aren't literally enforcing their own laws correctly.

Murder and being against human suffering are 2 wildly different things. I have absolutely no problem taking people at their word on matters of base humanity. Not so for murder. You can tell they're different because one is a felony. If somebody happens to lie about being a decent person to get out of the military, great, more power to em. Whatever they do instead will be far more useful than fighting some pointless war.

The reason their word is good enough is that they're not denying a crime, they're claiming a positive. If everyone started claiming they're a pacifist, things would get better, not worse.

It is pretty safe to assume that people who claim they value human life are not lying about it. Why isn't valuing human life accepted by the courts? That's a fucked up society is what it is.

I haven't played 3, but I say 2 over 1 because it actually fucking works. You can't get randomly trapped in way too powerful zones, corpses disapper so you don't trip on them, you can't get cursed so badly you have to backtrack the entire known world, etc. Also, whoever designed Blighttown took the "bug infested swamp" theme WAY too literally.

The interlocking map is certainly "cool", but as far as gameplay is concerned, it's pretty much the worst way to lay out a world, because you can't easily get from one place to another, and it will very quickly confuse everybody. There's one level, new londo ruins, that you can't attempt without using a pretty rare consumable each time, and when I was attempting it, firelink shrine was extinguished, meaning I had to run for like 5 minutes before each attempt on top of the consumable problem.

Hbomberguy has a great video about it, you should definitely check it out if you are interested in the games, he obviously puts it much better than I can

I'm a pacifist and my favorite game is dark souls 2. This is because I am aware of the difference between games and reality.

Saying it is good enough. It's not unreasonable to think a regular person might be against human rights abuses. You can't demand that citizens go support your imperialist regime just because they only indirectly show support for human life.

True, but they're not a bad person for lying to you.

Right, they were trying to not die. That is what everybody will do in this scenario. That's the kind of thing that happens when you murder somebody, the victim is generally opposed to your plan, and so they typically do not do as you wish. An execution that plans to have the victim of it go along with the plan is simply idiotic.

Seems like a pretty small price to pay to prevent murder. In fact, I'd go so far as to say you're a bad person if you're not willing to pay that price.

If a natural human response messes up your execution, you should absolutely blame the method.

You act like running a country is hard. The only hard part of running America is hiding all your bribes.

Ahh, 2 tons of duck beaks actually aren't heavy enough, actually
