Yes, I know you believe that people are not moral agents, but victims of their environments, helpless, without any moral compass. That anybody would rape, torture, mutiliate, rob, murder little children, set old men on fire, given the opportunity.
This is why you are a liberal.
I disagree. I believe that people are moral agents, that atrocities are committed by evil people who are operating outside the normal social constraints that prevent them from doing evil, and that most people do not do these things, even when given the opportunity.
This is why I am a conservative. |
