if he's addicted to opiates, then my condolences-- I see it every day at work and its gotta be just horrible. Its excruciating and can elevate your blood pressure, cause fevers, and the opiates slow down your stomache so you can have violent vomiting. Its horrible.

I played bar trivia with friends last night. Our team name: "Owen Wilson's Cry For Help."
Too soon?

As in war many horrible things can happen, the exception is if you were compelled by someone (e.g. superior, thru force of arms,...). These humans are in a very bad situation and I can understand if they can´t stand the psychologically pressure.

Hmmm....would a war criminal be an appropriate candidate for capital punishment then?

As you can see here, I´m totally against the death penalty: Link

So it's not the loss of life that's problematic for you, it's the agency of the state. Correct?
Your indifference to the loss of human life (in the case of the suicide of a war criminal) tends to weaken much of your opposition to capital punishment on the basis that you're opposed to "murder".
Even war criminals need love.

I´m not indifferent to the loss of human life. I only don´t care about the suicide of a real war criminal:

It´s a big difference, if someone commits suicide or is executed by another one. I can´t answer for killing someone, neither if a war criminal is guilty (you can´t be sure about this, and this is the other problem).
And no, war criminals don´t need love...they need hard punishment. But as I said in the other thread: I don´t want to range on the same level as a war criminal (murder). So no death penalty.
