yeah...killing all the younglings was his most evil act so far, far from when he killed the tusken raiders (that was actually funny, watching him kill them)
mace had it coming...even if he lived, he would have died, cause palpatine would have condemned him 2 death because of an 'assasination attempt'
dooku was just sick and disgusting, so i didnt really care about that
anakin thought he was going 2 save Padme, but he wasnt able 2 CAUSE HE ALMOST FRIGGIN KILLED HER!!! padme just lost her will 2 live
sorry, i have a problem with that
but killing younglings, that is just wrong

To say that killing a human is worse than killing a bug implies and demands that the human's life is more valuable than the bug's (it's basic philosophy). To say that killing a child is worse than an adult also implies and demands that the child's life is more valuable. You are saying children are naturally trusting and innocent. That is a reason for why they are more valuable. Even if not, this logic supports my point because the trust between Anakin and Padme was as strong as trust can be; it was so strong a trust that it blinded her and made her see only good in Anakin despite the obvious evil.I would ask this, which is worse, killing 20 childen, or 100 adults? If you say children (as most would), that is fine, but it demands that the childrens' lives are more valuable than the adults'.
Clearly, you didn't comprehend my posts. Where in any of my threads did I state that children are more valuable because they are innocent and trusting? Please quote me where I said this. I'd really like to see it.
First off, saying that children being more valuable because they're trusting and innocent makes no sense whatsoever. I don't know where you keep getting that notion. Secondly, if you read my post closely, I stated that Anakin's act of taking advantage of children's innocence and trust is evil.
Again, the thread is about Anakin's most evil act, not about whether a child's life is more valuable than someone else's. 🙄
Choking and killing are two different things killing is worse than choking they were only like 5 or 7 but still Padme choking was bad but killing 20 or more Yonglings is pure evil poor little guys 🙁
Yeah we hate them but still it was evil killing on is bad killing 30 is way way bad hard bad dark black center only a spec of good like a star in the night sky is Anikans heart 😄 that is a metiphor or exaple of how evil he is. (Younglings song: do you really want kill us do you really want us to die Anikans song: im a maniac im maniac woa and Darth Vader song : you know im bad im bad you know it) lol 😆

You said, "Child killers always top my list of most evil." That statement implies and demands that children are more valuable, otherwise there is no basis for saying it is most evil. If you are saying it is most evil because it is betraying trust, then you are correct and you are not saying that they are more valuable, you are making a moral judgement based on trust as opposed to valuel.
However, I don't think you're doing that. Take, for instance, strangers. All parents tell their children not to trust strangers, and that stangers will hurt them. If a child is approached by a stranger and killed, there is no betrayal of trust. The child never had trust to begin with. Now compare this to the choke of Padme. Would you still say the killing of the child is most evil? Now there is but on betrayal: the betrayal of the trust and love Padme had in Anakin. If you still say the child slaying is more evil, then your judgement is based not upon trust, but upon the value of the life.
I would still argue as well that if trust and innocence are the key issue, that there is nothing so innocent and trusting as true love.
No it dosn't kids are defenceless that why it's more evil they are young. They have barley lived a life the valu i same but age is not. 😬
If I 1000 years old with a kid of age 4 and guy was going to shoot the kid what do you do jump infront you have lived your long life they haven't so the young one should live instead of me cuz iv'e live my long life they still have 55 years a head of them i would only have a few left if i was 1000. 🙂
The valu the same but young is young they have'not live full life get it yeash huh! some people.🙁
It is bad to choke your wife but she didn't die the younglings you listening to name buster YOUNGLINGSSS they are young they were all killed and same as killing older Jedi he killed the Jedi that was the worst more lives killed. 😄
Theres a difference in number Padme+ kids = valu = 3 III the Jedis about this Jedi knights +Masters+Younglins= about 100 alot soo difference in lossing lives yes valus in ways Youngling young but killing no matter who or what age is wrong killing three people bad killing 50 really very BAD! O.K get it Lazerlike42 review: the younger the worse and more evil cuz they are defenceless when younger older stronger can defend them selves better O.K 😛

Normally I would agree, in part.... but let me ask this: who is more defensless, Padme, or the younglings?
Are you people trying calculate the value of life or something ?
I think you'll need more than addition and multiplication to do so.
Really now.
You could atleast throw in some ratios, probability, circumstances. Or how about this?
How valuable is Anakin's life as a child? Would it be wrong to kill him?
Now this should have an interesting answer.

Yet again, I still don't know how you come to that conclusion from my statement. You are making a complete and total assumption. My statement in no way shape or form implies that children are more valuable than others. Child killers top my list of most evil because of the way they take advantage of children's naivete and trust.

No betrayal of trust? Don't be silly. Of course there is. The first thing that a child predator/killer does is build up and gain the trust of a child who might be wary. Once that trust is established, the child's guard is let down.
Originally posted by Lazerlike42 If you are saying it is most evil because it is betraying trust, then you are correct
That is EXACTLY what I am saying.
However, I don't think you're doing that.
That's where you're wrong. Again, you're making baseless assumptions. Don't tell me what I'm saying or thinking. I know exactly what I'm saying. You're the one who is misinterpreting it.
Now compare this to the choke of Padme. Would you still say the killing of the child is most evil?
Yes.
Padme is not as naive or blindingly trustful as a child. And just for the record, I AM NOT SAYING THAT A CHILD'S LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PADME's. I am saying that taking the Younglings' lives is more evil. Not because one's life is more important than the other's, but because of how it was done.
I voted for the Padmé thing, because he turned Dark for her... He betrayed his life, his master his friends for her and then at the end started choking her. Who knows what he would have done if Obi wouldn't have told him to stop, he was insane at that moment. He committed the ultimate betrayal against Padmé. First destroying the idea's they lived by, then swearing allegiance to the people you were fighting against. Against the person Padmé wanted to see stopped then killing everything she loved about the republic and then choking her. He may not have killed her then, but he broke her... And IMO thats far worse.
What he did to her was more evil then what he did to anybody else.
