The Rues as stated in the last thread:
QUOTE(burntsierra @ Jul 27 2005, 07:18 PM) Right, a few rules before we start this time. No flaming. No intolerance of anybody else's viewpoint. No deciding you don't like the topic, and trying to tell people what they can discuss. This goes for everybody from now on.  Other than that, enjoy your discussion  --------------------  D�anaim smaoineamh, d� bhr� sin, t�im ann - Descartes Only the dead have seen the end of war ~ Plato Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.

Are you attempting to imply that this man hadn't developed a mature outlook on life and death, when the anecdote in question places him squarely in the middle of a battlefield? Now, I've never been one to think very highly of the bourgeoisie mental acuity, but let's be reasonable here...
This was an informed decision that he made of his own free will, and he stared down the consequences of his actions in transit to, within, and fleeing from the place of this transaction. And it isn't just this one scenario, either -- I'm sure you can think of plenty of people, roles, and situations where somewhere along the line, one's percieved value over other members of society becomes more important than living.
