Because I understand the why does not mean I condone the acts. That's your conclusion not mine. Saying you "understand" why someone murders is, to some extent, condoning the activity -- given the murderer's circumstances. No it doesn't......stop making up things to cover your ignorance of the subject. You are making major moral decisions with very little info. If you "understand" why a mentally ill woman drowns her five babies, it is not to say YOU would have done the same thing; but it is to pardon her on the basis of her mental illness. If you "understand" why Palestinians murder children, it is to pardon them on the basis of their pitiful circumstances. To understand the reason for someone's motivation is not a crime......so stop trying to make it into one. If you want to use a term other than "understand", go for it. But if you "understand" why someone commits murder, there most certainly is an element of tolerance or acceptance of the act. Say what you mean. I am saying what I mean but apparently certain words have double meanings for you that they don't have for me. ted
