Gender: Unspecified Location: Lost in a Roman Wilderness of Pain
For some it's because it's against God's laws, for me it's because society as we know it wouldn't be able to exist if everyone were free to kill whomever they wanted with no consequences.

Oh, it's like he's annoyed because people didn't respond explicitly to his question! Oh, it's all too much for him! Oh! Oh! Oh!
My bet is he thinks he's gots them real brain smarts. As soon as someone gives him the answer he's looking for, he's going to start running with it as an argument against the right to abortion, or use it to facilitate his opinion on some other nonsense idea.
How wonderful. He got us.

I don't necessarily think actual murder is excusable, understandable in some cases, sure.
I don't think killing a person in general is wrong. There are many avenues to which it can be excusable. Murder, a specific type of killing, is wrong to me. As a concept. I believe you have to judge each case as it comes though. Like I said in the first line.
You've got, like, a cycle thing going on there, right?

for your example of 'murder', explain why its wrong.
the whole point is that you'll never come up with a reason,
but rather only be able to site laws and personal/social/universal morals.
Oh, that's it. I kept thinking "We've been here before..."
Yeah, it's the same deal as that thread:
Killing a person is wrong because it is a physically detrimental attack on a person with an ultimate outcome that can not be reversed.

I guess because it's detrimental, or are we all getting mired in semantics?
