Default Re: Politics-Ethics Question

[ QUOTE ]
I wasn't talking about things like that. I was referring to the millions of people dying in Africa every day.

I know they're dying, I know why they're dying, I have the power to prevent them dying (individually at least) and if I went over there tomorrow I could doubtless stop many of them dying, but I choose not to.

Am I a murderer?

Well, dear valued Mister,

what can I get you? Shall it be a nice and clean "Yes, because" or a nice and clean "No, because", preferrably in one sentence each?
Might be news to you, but the easy answers have grown stale over the years.
In that other case, you honestly expecting and hoping for 5 pages of well-put and well-thought of reasoning, well, I trust in your thirst for truth to lead you far enough to actually order "Essays on Actions and Events" yourself and come up with an answer.
