  Hi Joe,

  I appreciate your responses but I am still having trouble with them.

  >In general war is not mass murder, or I should say was not, WWII brought
  >that into question by the way it was conducted. But historically war was
  >among the warriors, the civilians who suffered usually did so through
  >deprivation not death. So there was a difference. Now what the wars were
  >fought over is a different issue all together.

  >What the Serbs did to the Croats or the Bosnians was not war it was ethnic
  >clensing and genocide, much like what the US government did to the Cherokee,
  >Creek, Chickasaw, Chactaw, and Seminoles in the Trail of Tears a century and
  >a half earlier.

  Aren't these all examples of a difference in context? In one context, killing is bad, in another context, it is acceptable. Isn't that a type of social conditioning i.e. learning which context is approved by society and which is not? And don't these societal guidelines change over time i.e. at one time, society approved of genocide, now it doesn't?

  >How do we determine wath is moral and immoral? Look to your heart.

  And when we look into our heart, do we not then, typically, transcend our social conditioning? Isn't that how so many of us came to the realization that genocide is wrong?

  >Most things fall into the area >between obviously moral and >obviously immoral
  >because they can be good in one >situation and bad in another. This >makes
  >blanket statements only of >interest to those who just want to >argue about it
  >and create unnecessary discord.

  Do you mean, for example, something like this: "The, thankfully dead, clown was a
  fATnospam&king moron."?
