There is no acceptable context for killing someone other than immediate self-defence
But you know he's gonna kill a hundred people next week. Starve ten thousands people to death over the next six months. Start world war 3, and cause the death of millions of people. Those people people have no recourse to self defence, but you could defend them, right now.
Strongly disagree. If someone had killed Musk a year ago, the world would be a different place today. A better place, I think.
If someone had killed Trump ten years ago, how many COVID deaths would be avoided? How much damage to our economy would not have happened? How many hungry people across the world would still have food from a USAID shipment?
There are plenty of times it would be right to kill people. But who can we trust to make that decision? I'm confident I'm right, but I would not want to have to do it.
I think they have to be warned that the internet is suddenly recommending their kids do stupid things, and that, because of the way social media has become a ducking nightmare, their kids are more likely to do it then the parents might think.

What do you think a discussing of "proto-X" is going to look like, if not comparing it to other things looking for similarities and possible links?
Step one is going to be working out vocabulary among yourselves before you start trying to teach it to us. I used to try to be correct, but the "correct" tends changed from person to person, group to group, and every six months or so.
Once you've figured it out, let us old folks know, and most of us will, I hope, make the adjustment.
The irony is staggering.
But yes, lol, me.
