War of the Worlds...as in, we need one.

I'm talking about on a grander scale. If it were beneficial to more than just our insignificant rock floating in space.

If Earth's destruction was to the benefit of say, the universe. Killing one planet to save a great many, would you do it?

Sure, as long as i wasnt on it... 😛

No, I would not. I have said time and time again that, if I were to travel back in time, I would not kill Hitler. I would not kill Stalin. I would not kill Vlad the Impaler or Ivan the Terrible or anyone else. Surely they deserved death, but I would not be their executioner.

I don't understand where you are getting my rationale that the ends justify the means. I didn't mean to imply that in my post; could you elaborate?

I wasn't assuming that your rationale was that, Fece.

I was asking if it was, not assuming.

Ah. Well, it's not.
