I mean, plus you missed out on the best part of killing dudes.
"Oh fine, fine. Still ain't killed a dude so I'm kinda bummed out."
"Oh well of course."
A lovely conversation.
I'm not the one who made this thread.
I said "to my knowledge" because I wasn't sure. I was allowing the possibility of correction if I was wrong.
Though I just did some research because I was going from memory before. Pretty much everything I found said that it varies by state. It seems that in general you are correct, but some states don't allow it. Having a hard time finding which ones, though. It's also weird because federally it seems to be allowed, but everything keeps saying "some states don't allow that defense". Maybe they just mean some states make it harder to make it apply? I don't know. Either way, that's where me thinking that came from.
All depends which dictionary you use.
Verb 1. murder - kill intentionally and with premeditation
Many of the definitions include a stipulation that it must be unlawful killing as well, but not all of them.
t Artreus: I think our difference of opinion really just falls in one of those grey areas. I still consider killing in self defense to be murder in most cases, though I'm willing to imagine some cases where I wouldn't (if the killing is accidental, for example). On the "killing someone you don't like" thing, I think that's also just another difference of opinion. I think all war pretty much amounts to killing people you don't like and/or disagree with, so there's that.
Edit: Really going to bed now so will reply to anything in the morning.

I don't know. I'd assume they're derived from the geneva convention though.
It is just that you have said some really, really stupid things. And usually when people act that stupid, they are doing it to get a rise out of people.
tNostregar: But many soldiers may not even have an opinion about who they are killing! I am not at all arguing that war is a good thing. It sucks. I don't think any sane person would say it is good. It is however an inevitability. It is just something we have to deal with. I will say that it is possible that a lot of killings in war are murder (there are such things as war crimes), the vast majority are not.
And again, I am pretty sure the states that you say don't allow killing in self defense just have laws against excessive force. This is actually me talking out of my ass, so that is all I am really going to say on that subject.
If the army had JRPG dialog I would have totally stayed in... or shot myself in the head. Anyway it would be pretty rad... At least give it JRPG effects, like chicks that are way too hot to be soldiers kicking tank shells out of the air. Giant swords too.
I really don't think you know things.

Valkyria Chronicles really is a great game. I need to finish it.
edit: Rank is right though. Even the people who are right (myself included) are being kind of dumb here. These are dumb internet fights
Know what is awesome though? Boston Creme Pie. God I would kill for a slice right now
Thems fightin' words
No, get back in the hole.
Yes. I definitely said this. If there's one person I know that understands me it's Druhim.
That's exactly what a liberal would say.
Hah. The logic of this thread in a nutshell.:^:
You can just feel the liberalness wafting from that post like the heat off a racing dog's balls
He says as the thread steadily gets worse.
I got here as quick as I could. Now stand aside, I have thread worsening to do.
I said it specifically so the thread would get worse.
Liberal balls something something.
Oh high five I got three in BF2 during the CSQ of OIF.
