Another related topic, since we’re back on this thread. Assassinations. Can they ever be right? Assassinations in peacetime on civilians. No. Assassination of leaders. I’d say no…God commands us to obey leaders, even if they are bad. But what about war (I’ve lots of wars in my books…). Again, in war I’d say assassination against civilians is…[Read more]

after all, war is only necessary because of evil, and the object of war is to annihilate that evil. Unless you would class a friend or loved one as evil, war’s ‘permissibles’ would not apply to them, I’m thinking.

Yes, good point. And that is what I figured, I just like bringing up any sort of scenarios I can.

Now you’ve got me wanting t…

So I’ve been thinking about a different angle of this whole ‘what is permissible in war and in defense of others’ type of question. We’ve established earlier that life is given by God and isn’t just something for man to take whenever they wish. Ok. Yes. I agree. However, we don’t live in a perfect world. War does not change what is right and…[Read more]

@bluejay no, I’ve not ready Ella Enchanted, though I’ve seen the movie. *smirks*

@Gabrielle Oh yes, always. Actually, what I tend to do when I’m making drastic changes, is copy the document and archive a copy of it ‘as is’ then go ahead and edit to my heart’s content because I know I can always go back to something and get it if I need it.

@emma-flournoy Yes, you have a point there too. I’m not saying one should include everything. But I’ve seen it done in more than one book…one was an alternate beginning and the other included bits of a character who’d been taken out. In both cases, I agreed it was better the way the author had written it, but at the same time it was fun to see…[Read more]

Somebody give the dragon a dare. @bluejay @daeus @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @warrior-of-the-realm @his-instrument @jess @corissa-maiden-of-praise
Ahem, the dragon forgot manners…PLEASE *smiles as well as a dragon can*

Somebody give the dragon a prompt. @bluejay @daeus @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @warrior-of-the-realm @his-instrument @jess @corissa-maiden-of-praise

@corissa-maiden-of-praise
Did seriously NO ONE welcome you properly? @hope got close, but no one did it properly, which allows me to do it professionally. Corissa, I, as the Dragon Snapper, welcome you to the BESTIEST place on earth! Ha, I win!!!! If you’ve been stalking, then you’ll know that that is the real way to welcome people to the website.…[Read more]

@Daeus Yes, dragons are very hard to control…especially the snapping dragon. Watch out! 😉
@warrioroftherealm That is very coincidental! Do you like Ranger’s Apprentice or Brotherband? The Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit? I can’t decide between Ranger’s and Brotherband, but I think I’m more of a Hobbit person. Movie wise, I’m more of Lord of…[Read more]

I am way too late to say this, but still, @jess Welcome to the BESTIEST place on the internet! @Daeus, why didn’t you tell me about wearing cloaks everywhere? I love cloaks!!! It has to do with my love of medieval fantasy as well. Speaking of which, Jess, I too am a medieval writer. Why does everyone write that so much?
Anyways, welcome to KP!…[Read more]

Hey, @daeus, you’ve never told us that about chocolate! It was all ‘eat raspberries because they’re healthy’. *grabs more chocolate*

Thanks, @Jess. 😉 A fantasy trilogy! That sounds like fun. I’m working on my novellas, a fantasy novel, have several other fantasy novels…and a seven book fantasy series. 😉 I also have a futuristic trilogy I’m…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re finally here!!! Welcome to the, umm, wonderfulist writing forum on earth. 😉 Oh, and about the tags, they aren’t always the names you see. If you click on a person’s profile, you’ll see the ‘tagging name’ You’ll memorize most of them eventually. 😉

And married six people? *smirks* I’ve been married two or three…[Read more]

Also, I am aware I’ve not really answered the question, just dissected it more. I’ll be back later, ahem, tomorrow maybe. And I suspect @daeus and @kate-flournoy will be here soon. They like these kinds of questions. 😉

@his-instrument Ah yes, we’ve talked about those points some. But it’s still a hard question, whatever the morally right answer might be. And I know what you mean. I could argue both ways for the scenario above too. The death is giving one’s life for their country. And no one claims there is anything wrong in risking death for something like that,…[Read more]

@jess Welcome to the bestiest place on the internet! Hurray! I said it first (it’s kind of a weird competition around here).

And hurray for fantasy. I love writing fantasy. Are you working on anything right now?

Resurrecting this topic for a bit anyway, because I’ve been thinking about a mystery I watched awhile back. The character who died is assumed to have committed suicide. The Detective thinks he was murdered. In the end, they discover it was actually part of a government spy deal. Basically, the man who died was already dying from some sickness. His…[Read more]
