Very good, stable define, lets begin
lets start off here [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=79672|http://z.iwethey.org...w?contentid=79672] In this hypothesis it is, at most, permitted on account of a reason commensurate with so great an evil as is the destruction of human life. Thus, for instance, a military commander may train his guns upon a fortified place, even though in the bombardment which follows he knows perfectly well that many non-combatants will perish. The sufficient cause in the case is consideration of the highest public good to be subserved by the defeat of the enemy. note the highest public good part of the argument. A plane piloted by terrorists flying into the world trade center has no "public good" attached, the intent is to kill the children as per your argument. The target was strictly civilian deaths. No military objective was gained. A cruise missile must be targeted on a military target [link|http://www.carlisle.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/02spring/butler.htm|http://www.carlisle....spring/butler.htm] \ufffdOur first problem was with using suppressive fires against the air defense. According to standard Army procedure, we simply estimated where the enemy air defense might be, based on the terrain and the force\ufffds operating pattern. But the Defense Department\ufffds lawyers insisted that before we shoot at these locations, they had to be `observed,\ufffd that is, not \ufffdtemplated.\ufffd . . . By the lawyers\ufffd definition, someone would have to view Serb air defenses through photography or TV within a few hours of the time the artillery was to be fired. This was a requirement derived from the NATO Rules of Engagement that had been approved for the operation, without regard to the kinds of needs we might have for the Apaches. . . . Before we could shoot our suppression, we would have to have visibility over what was there, updated to the last few hours. . . . The commander would either have to accept the risk from other untargeted [templated] locations, or call off the planned mission. Surely there had to be a better way. Never had we imposed such a standard on ourselves. There had to be a misunderstanding, I thought.\ufffd[1] -- General Wesley K. Clark, USA Ret., concerning legal constraints to suppressive fires in support of AH-64 operations in Kosovo this is the current state of rules of engagement. The target must be have a military objective. Target must also be inspected in real time to get approval for a fire mission. If any children are killed it must meet criteria that underscore the greater public good. That is the difference. Wanting to kill children and avoiding killing children are two very different things. If you claim there is no diffence, then a drunk driver killing a kid is also equivelent as the results are the same. thanx, bill

You make it too easy.
Boxley claims: A cruise missile must be targeted on a military target Really? So a cruise missile hitting a building and killing a child is because the child is a military target? Wanting to kill children and avoiding killing children are two very different things. Yes. They are. But those are intentions. Different intentions. So, your position can be summarized as: If a cruise missile hits a building and kills children, it is because those children were military targets. If a plane hits a building and kills children, it is because those children were terrorist targets. So the "difference" is whether the children were targetted by a "terrorist" or the "military". Bzzzzzztttttttttt! Try again. flying a plane into a building to kill children -is different- than sending a cruise missile into a building to kill children Yes, the plane was flown by terrorists and the cruise missile is targetted by the military. Yes, one is a plane, the other is a cruise missile. What is the difference?

If a cruise missile hits a building and kills children, it is because those children were military targets.
If a plane hits a building and kills children, it is because those children were terrorist targets.
If a drunkdriver hits a child/children it is because they are terrorist/military targets
But those are intentions. Different intentions.

How many differing....
...levels of "murder" are there in the US code.
Murder 1 and 2
Manslaughter
Involuntary Manslaugher.
And what is generally the basis for differentiation.
Intent.
Your opponent insists on continually adding >to kill children< to the language. He is adding intent to his logical alternatives to frame the argument in such a way as you cannot win
Because there is no logical difference between flying a plane into a building >to kill children< and launching a missile into a building >to kill children<.
There is a world of difference between flying a plane onto a building with the express purpose of killing thousands of innocent civilians and launching a missile at a military target.
In the end...both may result in people dying.
But is it capital murder?
Or is it involuntary manslaughter?
Or is it self-defense?
Thats the argument he can't win. So thats the argument he won't make.

Your logic fails.
If a cruise missile hits a building and kills children, it is because those children were military targets. As you stated. The "targets" are evaluated by the military. If a plane hits a building and kills children, it is because those children were terrorist targets. Again, as you stated. The terrorists evaluated the "target". If a drunkdriver hits a child/children it is because they are terrorist/military targets And who evaluated that child? Was the drunk drive military or terrorist? A == B C == D therefore (in Boxley's "logic") E == B or D flying a plane into a building to kill children -is different- than sending a cruise missile into a building to kill children But those are intentions. Different intentions.
but according to you all three are identical No. That is YOUR claim. I am claiming that: a cruise missile hitting a building and killing a child -is the same as- a plane hitting a building and killing a child But NEITHER of them are the same as a DRUNK DRIVER hitting a child. The KEY FACTOR being that the driver is DRUNK. YOU are the one claiming that they are all the same. Despite the first two being conscious, evaluated choices by sober individuals -and- the drunk driver being drunk and NOT making a conscious, evaluated choice to hit anything/anyone. Go ahead. Wriggle some more. The difference between YOUR example and MINE is that in YOUR example, the person involved is DRUNK. Oh, just a minor issue to you, I'm sure.

[link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84002|You claimed]: Like your claims that sending a missile into a building is somehow different when that missile is a cruise missile or an airplane.
Yet you refuse to detail HOW it is different.
You just hide behind your claim that one is "killing" and the other is "murder".
But you refuse to detail how THOSE categories are different. Then you [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84210|asked him] to clarify that his position was in fact: flying a plane into a building to kill children -is different- than sending a cruise missile into a building to kill children My emphasis. Then [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84302|you countered]: I am claiming that: a cruise missile hitting a building and killing a child -is the same as- a plane hitting a building and killing a child My emphasis. Note the difference in the two stated positions. Is this because: a. You don't see the difference. b. You don't agree that the difference is meaningful. c. You didn't realize you had changed the statement. d. You hoped no one would notice you changed the statement? If it's 'c' or 'd', you will have confirmed you are either incapable of or not worth the effort for a well-reasoned discussion. If it's 'a', I'll explain the difference. Or rather I'll reiterate what the Bills have already told you, and you ignored: [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84248|boxley]: A plane piloted by terrorists flying into the world trade center has no "public good" attached, the intent is to kill the children as per your argument. My emphasis. [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84285|bepatient]: And what is generally the basis for differentiation.
Intent. My emphasis. Note the word emphsized in those last two quotes. So, is it 'a', you don't understand how this applies to the change in your stated position; or 'b', you don't agree that this is a meaningful distinction? If it's 'a' you aren't worth the effort of a well-reasoned discussion. If it's 'b' then there might be a basis for discussion, but I don't feel like having it with you.

It is not "debate". It is semantic gamesmanship with deliberate use of emotionally charged "additions" to stated positions...and then dismissal of entire positions over "debates" about the meaning of one unrelated word.
Lather, rinse, repeat. (again and again)
Hate to say I told you so.
And now come the insults and the introduction of fabricated positions.

Marlowe, give the keyboard back to boxley.

And, should he do that again, I would oppose those policies (as I did the other times). But, right now, he isn't killing any children. While you advocate that WE kill children. To punish Saddam for killing children in the past we'll kill children now? Like I said, I'll oppose your agenda if it requires the death of children. Or are you advocating that we kill Iraqi children TODAY so that Saddam MIGHT NOT POSSIBLY kill children MAYBE tomorrow or COULD BE next year? How about we wait until he actually starts killing children before WE start killing children?

You are wise beyond your years.

As you know, his posting style unfortunately can be quite ambiguous (due to lack of capitalization and lack of punctuation, and his ambiguity in indicating what he believes and what he thinks your posts lead to when carried to their logical conclusion) so he's been giving you ammo. And, for my part, I keep harping on definitions and examples. Clarity. I don't think you've been very persuasive in this thread, but that of course is just my opinion. I don't think persuasion is possible on this subject. This is another of those that hits at the emotional (fear) level. It's "us" against "them". What "we" do is "okay" or, at least, "justified". What "they" do is "evil". I'm using boxley as an example of the mental process required to maintain that belief system. Allow me to go off on a tangent for an example. In one of my earlier posts, I compared sending a missile to kill children with crushing a child's head under your boot. The only difference in the actions being whether you could see the child you were killing. And, from a pure activity viewpoint, those actions are equivalent. From an intentional viewpoint, the same can be said. From any viewpoint, they are equivalent. The only difference is something not in the scenario. Your reaction to someone who could do that. How do you feel about someone who is capable of crushing a child's head under his boot? Do you feel differently about someone who could send a missile into a city knowing that children would die? If so, why? If not, why?

Game, set and match.
Boxley posts: the drunk driver made a concious decision to take that first drink under the law in America that is Intent, lots more cases where that came from so I am claiming that: a cruise missile hitting a building to killing a child -is the same as- a plane hitting a building to killing a child is the same as a drunk driver killing a child Now, my original position was that there wasn't a difference between sending a cruise missile into a building to kill a child -and- flying a plane into a building to kill a child Boxley claimed there was. He claimed one was "killing" and the other was "murder". Now he has claimed that they are identical. Which was my position.

Provide a link to my post. Here's a link to your's.
I'm not quite sure what you're claiming in your title. Perhaps you can clarify it. Meanwhile, here's a link to the post of your's where you claimed that they are the same. [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84323|heh,] the drunk driver made a concious decision to take that first drink under the law in America that is Intent, lots more cases where that came from so I am claiming that: a cruise missile hitting a building to killing a child -is the same as- a plane hitting a building to killing a child is the same as a drunk driver killing a child That's right. You're claiming they are the same. No case of one being "killing" and another being "murder". You claim they are the same. It's good to see that you've finally seen the light.

From that link your posted. Even from that block you posted.
I said (and boxley quoted): I am claiming that: a cruise missile hitting a building and killing a child -is the same as- a plane hitting a building and killing a child Yep. That's what I said. Exactly. And now the bit you said: [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84323|heh,] I am claiming that: a cruise missile hitting a building to killing a child -is the same as- a plane hitting a building to killing a child is the same as a drunk driver killing a child Yep "-is the same as-". No difference. None of this "one is 'murder' and the other is 'killing'". "-is the same as-"

[link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=84002|http://z.iwethey.org...w?contentid=84002] Except that you'll give an example of someone being drunk and accidentally hitting a child. Yet in NEITHER of the INITIAL cases was anyone drunk nor was the building hit accidentally. Like I've said before, those who support this war can only "justify" it by lies and semantic games the last sentence proved out nicely. Now is the above post wrong or this one?

Boxley claimed there was. He claimed one was "killing" and the other was "murder".
Now he has claimed that they are identical.
Which was my position. so now you totally accept the fact that drunks killing kids is the same as flying planes into buildings or targeting a cruise missile. You are either correct in post one and playing "justify" it by lies and semantic games or not. thanx, bill

Box...this ass is playing a game...
...which I tried to point out to you.
He's not debating the same issue as you. He can't. He knows he can't. So he has created a "logical position" to attempt to obfuscate your point.
Your point depends on intent. His has already assumed intent. His assumed intent is the emotionally charged statement "to kill children"
The real difference is that one side really does have the intent "to kill children". The other does not.
And my constant refusal to play this type of game with him has made him afraid. So he calls me names.He would actually have to state positions..not logical strawmen. He can't. So I'm pathetic. See?

Eeeek! It's Son of Strawman!
No. I am not in "total" agreement with you.
But the section that you posted that says a plane and a missile are the same is in agreement with my statement that a plane and a missile are the same.
Therefore, you concede the point to me that a plane and a missile are the same.
But you go further and claim that a drunk driver is the same also.
I claimed A == B
You claimed A !== B
Then you claimed A == B == C
I have said that A !== C and B !== C in my previous posts.
But that doesn't matter because my position was that A == B Which you now claim is CORRECT A == B == C
Watching you wriggle makes me smile. :)
