German soldier refuses to develop software for Iraq

[gh0st]

you're correct ...you have as much disdain for every iraqi, not just the various ethnic groups ...you're an "equal opportunity" occupier :E

is it true that all canadians live on ice sheets and eat whale blubber?

Stand behind it all you want. Fact is, we didnt go into iraq to exterminate any national (iraqi), racial (arab), political (misc), or ethnic group. not in any way shape or form. by all means dig up a declassified document that proves me wrong though.

ummm didn't you go in there to get saddam out of power? I would figure that would fit under political.

First off, what the hell?

Secondly, even if somehow that statement made sense in some parallel universe, we didn't exterminate anyone systematically, and in your case, we didn't kill Saddam.

dude, your post didn't make sense, we don't have to kill him, just take him out of power

pvtbones was talking about genocide. And then he said something about political figures and iraq and genocide's definition and I got all confused from there. And yes, my post did make sense.

EDIT - UNLESS You meant to quote pvtbones, which WOULD make a lot more sense.

If that's the case, apologies?
If not...we duel.

i'm all confused now too, anyway, getting rid of saddam wasn't number one goal, but it was one of them, and no, iraq has nothing to do with osama

Do we all agree that it is right to do what your consience tells you too instead of what a superior officer does then?

 

[killahsin-[CE]]

When you develop enough conscience to think for yourself; aka you grow out of being a kool-aide drinking Republican and come in to the good side.

I'm a democrat and i can by far tell you that kool aide is a democrat drink, lol.

Meh, whatever floats the guy's boat. If he spends his final hours of life reflecting and he can think to himself, "I did the right thing" and pass away with a smile on his face, good for him. I don't think anyone else can really expect to do anything more than what they think is the right choice, and whether you look at his act with either admiration or detestment is purely a judge of rights and wrong, things that are extremely vague in the case of human affairs, if indeed right and wrong exist at all.

While trying not to get TOO philosophical, you couldn't blame him if he decided to make the software instead.

If you look at it in a right or wrong ideal like that to the extreme, you end up blaming every software engineer that develops potential killing weapons. But then again, maybe we should? Or shouldn't? Blame the superiors instead? Either way, most people would never show detest against the software engineer, but rather either praise him for not doing it, or blame his superiors because he did.

If he gets in trouble for refusing to do it, it's purely his fault. If you blame his superiors, you just get into a blinding philosophical cycle that most people choose to ignore entirely. But then again, I may be right or wrong, or both, or neither, who knows, forums are pointless :hmph:
