I love how people treat refugees as a bad word nowadays because they forget what the actual meaning of the word is
How is that even relevant, Mahogany
No need to continue the senseless accusations. I apologise. Your post seemed to have some charge to it, hence the comment. I directed the post before that one to Mahogany.
I apologize, too. The last bit I wrote had unnecessary snark to it.
Oh no, it was absolutely a joke about her being a hero. If she was a "hero", she would've hit him square in the face and accepted the consequences, instead of tripping him and then denying it all on court. What she did was morally wrong in more than just one way.
Ah, that's more understandable then. Sorry for assuming that you were serious about it.
Yeah, I know you're going to say how it's morally wrong to hate someone based on one of their attributes, but the entire topic is debatable. Is it really all black and white? Does someone become "evil" when the majority decides it or is it based on some kind of moral code? If so, doesn't that further prove that majority decides what the rights and wrongs are? Does that not completely shatter the objectivity of the matter in question?
I don't believe anybody can be inherently evil, nor pure. Everyone commits good or bad actions, and sometimes a bad action is considered good by others (and vice versa). So no, it is not all black and white. What matters the most is the context of each situation, along with common sense. Is it within common sense to commit harm for no reason, purely because of hatred? I don't think so. We can't stop her from hating, but it's still immoral to cause active harm because of it. I'm not saying that the refugee is a completely good person, either, but then again we don't know what he did in his life. All we know is that in that context, he didn't do anything against her except running towards her direction; he didn't give her a *good* reason to act that way. Especially if she said it was a "mistake" and she was scared. Yeah, sure. It must have been pretty scary if she had to kick down a young girl and a man carrying a child while there were a ton of cameras and policemen around her
