Reply #116: I'm trying to understand you

[sui generis]

I am capable of imagining that you could rape a child, just as I know that when push comes to shove you would fight against dying, starvation, or rape yourself.

I see that you are capable of murdering another human. Why should I believe you aren't capable of any other crime?

Not trying to be mean or provocative or directed at "you" you - the point is discussion.

I think desperate people are capable of making terrible moral choices. Would you drive the bus off the cliff or run over the baby in the road?

I personally don't think sane people "choose" to rape children, but I also don't think we should execute crazy people. If so, there wouldn't be a republican left on the planet.
