Chevron 1Q earnings soar 49 percent to $4 billionBy Michael Liedtke

The Associated Press

It is good to have someone interject reality and an academic reference into an emotionally skewed definition of murder.

I'm not whining or pouting, nor or my feelings hurt. I'm also not the one who refuses to call a club a club. That is what the rest of the crowd seems to be doing. Remember, i'm the villain because i find no joy in killing. So it is all my fault

According to the German's own statistics kept during the war, they summarily executed THOUSANDS of their own soldiers for refusing orders and for cowardice in the face of the enemy.

It’s all that’s left because some folk are only comfortable with cozy deception. But I guess that, too is something that only a lawyer may understand.

That I agree with.

Would you agree therefore, that morality is therefore a personal issue?

If that is the case or if you agree with that, then would you not also agree that two or more people may have any number of difefrent moral beliefs?
