@secondson saidMass killing is never justifiable.
Sorry. Didn't mean to go off track.
In my opinion it's not a question of the kind or type of weapon used to kill. It's a question of whether or not the killing is justifiable.

@secondson saidSo the use of any method of weaponry is morally acceptable to kill with, as long as the reason to kill is justified? Ok.

@divegeester saidWhat happened to you dude?
Here you go Ghost of a Duke.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want to.
What happened to you dude?
You use to be interesting. (Always pedantic, but interesting all the same).
@divegeester saidOk, I'll try and think of a good one.
You don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want to.
And if you like you can barb your deflection with an insult.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidMass murder, yes, but can you think of any reason when killing in-mass would be justifiable?
Mass killing is never justifiable.
@divegeester saidAt what cost? Millions of more lives?
But would it have been morally better for the US to invade japan and use conventional weapons to subdue it rather than nuclear?
@secondson saidI honestly can't.
Mass murder, yes, but can you think of any reason when killing in-mass would be justifiable?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThanks for the history lesson. 😏
