Or, Moral Absolutism

London Police: We shot the wrong guy. It was a horrible mistake which we regret deeply. We try as best we can to bring justice to criminals, and safety to the innocent. It's never a good thing when we fail in this. Please forgive us.

Terrorists: You had it coming, you infidel fucks! Give us half a chance, and we'll kill even more of you! To those that are dead, good riddance! To those that have survived, your weeping is music to our ears, and your own massacre is the top item on our agenda!

When will people finally see the difference between a people that acts responsibly {the english police} and a people that only cares about violence and destruction and imposing there wills on everyone?

Maybe you should add:

Liberal:The police violated this guys rights. They had no right to shoot him! They should have stopped him before he got to the subway. Or let him go, but not shoot him.

Conservative:It was a sad thing, but the police did what they thought they had too. Individuals must take responsability for their actions. We must do what needs to be done.

What ya think?

IMHO the "conservative" is correct and the liberal should go soak their head in a bucket!

Eheh.

If it were that easy to understand each other's mindset, liberals and conservatives wouldn't be so cranky with each other all the time.

For example, I've presented the clearly expressed sentiments of two different groups. I have no idea why "liberals" wouldn't draw exactly the same conclusions I do. And I have it on good authority that they're completely clueless as to why I don't agree with them on everything.
