Is genocide always wrong even if you are killing off a bunch of scumbags with disgusting practices, beliefs and culture from off the earth?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Always wrong.

Not always wring.

Other.

I think genocide is justifiable under certain conditions and my mind won't be changed. Some cultures and nations especially in the ancient world should and did get wipe the hell out for good.

I doubt it actually, I thought about Japanese maybe understand it. It was like German in Europe but I think they did right to taiwanese after I see taiwanese personality but Japnese did all Asian. They had agreement with Hitler but I dont understand why they want so large lands for japanese? So tried to kill all Asian? They did it if you died in mine than you died as they wish. I dont know what they thought about at that time? but sound like it is the same trend. A movie was shot about it by korean, so I think it was the same with korea. Now I saw some of westerners fake it as Uighur's and I saw those documents. They dont know China totally.

[ibodi]

Perhaps the same doubt with game of thrones in the end. fire all

[AviatorTom]

Genocide is always wrong. Your comments about "disgusting practices, beliefs and culture" are opinions, not facts, and it's always wrong to take someone's life (let alone hundreds of lives) based on opinion. That's unsubstantiated discrimination, and anyone who condones it, or practices it, deserved to be themselves condemned and prosecuted.

[jahaims]

Other than other pedophiles who doesn't think they have disgusting practices, beliefs and culture?

[AviatorTom]

@jahaims Even a pedophile doesn't deserve to die for what they do. They deserve to be restricted, and helped if possible.

[jahaims]

Strongly disagree. At that they just become a burden on society and they are statistically likely to bed repeat offenders.

[AviatorTom]

@jahaims I fully accept your right to disagree. Freedom of speech is probably the most important right we have.

[jahaims]

That point* be repeat*

[t-8900]

Pedophiles and rapists deserve to quarter

[t-8900]

*no quarter

[sweetmessposts]

Always wrong because your definition of "disgusting practices, beliefs and culture" is only to you. Some people consider eating pork chops as disgusting and morally evil, but that doesn't give them the right to genocide the group of people who do eat pork chops and find it perfectly normal. Now there are some practices which are truly hard to watch 😭 but in no way is genocide an answer to those practices.

[007kingifrit]

if someone found our culture disgusting. we best genocide them before they genocide us

[WhiteBoyChill]

There were cultures of men who believed in raping women.

So they deserved to exist?

[JosyJosy]

Wrong. In the end it's your sense of justice vs theirs

[007kingifrit]

and we can never live in peace with someone whose sense of justice conflicts with ours. one must die

[WindAtMyBack]

I don't think that qualifies as genocide. I guess people can define it differently, but I consider genocide the act of killing mass numbers of people just because of some genetic, ethnic or national trait. Actions and beliefs don't fall in that category.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

A nation has people in it and they have a culture and way of life so it does fall under that category.

[Texaskid1]

Nope.

But I think a violent culture will inevitably wipe it self out. At times violence is necessary to keep the peace but sustained violence over the long run is not good. It is like saying as a man you may have to resort to violence in some rare situations like self defense but if you are always out there looking for a fight all the time then eventually you will get taken down.

[Adam1978]

It's obviously wrong, you have the right to defend yourself. You should find a peaceful coexistence solution. Not mass murder. That goes for both sides. You thinking they are wrong doesn't give you right to kill them. That would make you a person that should aim their own gun on themselves because your clearly the evil you want to remove.

[TheSpaceGnome]

The assumption that an entire race would think and act the same, and therefor make it possible for all of them to be "scumbags", is incorrect.
That is so unlikely that it might as well be imposssible (and it probably is impossible).
Also who gets to decide where the line is for being a scumbag? You? Your parents? a person 2 generations after you who probably would see what you do as being a scumbag? Slippery slope dude...

[BillyBalls]

The USA drop two bombs on Japan that killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese.

Supposedly that action ended WWII more quickly and "saved an unknown number of lives" that would have been killed if the war continued.

Is that a case of genocide that saved lives?

[WhiteBoyChill]

I mean I don’t see why any sane person would be against the genocide of groups similar to MS-13 who’s motto is “kill, rape control”

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Genocide doesn't extends to gangs but rather a whole nation of people.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I think it would be fine against say a culture of people similar to the Amalek

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Right. The Amalekites were total 💩💩💩

[WhiteBoyChill]

And regardless of my personal views, the Bible does allow for it

[ObscuredBeyond]

I wouldn't call bombing a cartel HQ "genocide." Just saying. Genocide, specifically, is targeting an entire DNA archetype, regardless of character or anything else. Democide, the broader term, is being a serial killer on a grand scale.

[ZackBan]

Only the strong decides what's wrong or right. There are no absolutes in this world.
When those with the power to commit genocide decide to do it who's in a position to say if or not their wrong

[LikeALog]

Who determines they are scumbags with disgusting practices, beliefs and culture?

Who are scumbags depends on your beliefs and emotions.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Torturing animals, sex with children, violent, incest, sexual perversion. Stuff like that.

[LikeALog]

When you said genocide, I understood eliminating a nation or ethnic group.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Exactly what I meant. In the ancient world some nations did all those nasty conduct including sacrificing their kids alive on fire to idols they worship.

[Msputiton]

Always wrong, and my mind couldn't be changed either

[Datboi65]

Sounds like something Hitler would be nodding his head for in agreement.

[007kingifrit]

that doesn't make it right or wrong. sometimes hitler can be right. sometimes wrong

[Datboi65]

@007kingifrit Say that with a straight face to a group of Jews/Gypsies/Poles

[007kingifrit]

that's an immature thing to say but you're 19. people's emotions do not determine right and wrong. emotions are an illusion

[Datboi65]

@007kingifrit You made a vague statement, and can't back it up factually. What was Hitler right about then? My age has nothing to do with the argument at hand.

[Flower7]

Always wrong. No human has the right to take the life of another human.

[qwert1234]

Question is, who decides what is disgusting? And why them?

[007kingifrit]

whoever is atop the corpse pile. because they won

[qwert1234]

@007kingifrit Exactly the problem. Just because they won, doesn't mean they are right.

If the Nazis won WW2 - does it mean the holocaust is ok?

[007kingifrit]

winning makes you right. that's the ultimate truth of history

[qwert1234]

@007kingifrit History is written by the victors. Doesn't mean it's right.

[007kingifrit]

winning makes you right

[qwert1234]

@007kingifrit alright bro. nothing to be gained if I argue with you.

[OddBeMe]

break down the etymology. geno-cide. geno: based on ethnic or nationality. All of them can't be "disgusting".

This is how hitler convinced an entire country by the way...

[007kingifrit]

i firmly believe that all peace is built on genocide. not a single peaceful time in history isn't made from genocide

we cannot live without genocide

[anylolone]

Genocide is always bad, but casualties exist, you can't always get the methods of self defense you want and horrible people frequently use civilians as shields.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes, it's always wrong. And you should stop stereotyping.

[CaptainSmartass]

How else are we supposed to deal with sex cases?

Simples...

[noohair]

The question always is who decides who the scumbags are?

[Naydyonov]

In a Walking Dead situation, wiping out a band of criminals is acceptable

[jahaims]

Unless it is a genocide of pedophiles I'm not on board

[MrPlentiful]

Its not always wrong, but its disgusting to act like your opinion of who's a scumbag is right

[TsAubreyKate]

The only way I see it as okay is if we kill all the suicidal people

[NathanDavis]

I can feel the Christmas' spirit... lol

[Exterminatore]

I think it’s always wrong.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

God ordered genocide in the Bible though, including children and babies to be killed by the military.

[ewok737]

Hitler didn't think it was a bad idea !!!

[Cherry234]

It's always wrong.

[Cubus]

Always wrong.
