Reply #228: False equivelency.

[RandomThoughts]

You don't let the threat of violence, or hardship change what you do.

Or how can you ever stop it. Violence eventually ends itself, if people don't back down, eventually it will be removed. If you appease, then you give it what ever you have and eventually even more people are hurt.



There was a TV show. It was "Hole in the World" episode of Angel


In that episode, a character was asked if he would allow thousands to be hurt by something when it is dragged back to a well to save one person. Although he would not do the hurting, many might be hurt to stop the thing hurting one person. In the show he did not do, I think he should have.


I would help the person, even if someone said thousands could be hurt, even millions, although I would not hurt people myself, and if possible stop it, but the threat of some hurt, can not stop a person from helping someone.

Or it is used as a bluff to keep you from ever doing anything, at some time you have to stand up to it.

Side note, Although I would not abandon Illyria either, and the episodes about Wesley and Illyria were really good.
