The fun part about putting words in dead people's mouths is that they can't go "I didn't say that you fucking asshole, what the fuck?" (thelemmy.club)

I guess the key question is at what point a human stops deserving forgiveness

From an abstract and from a practical point of view

    Yeah I agree, but I think my ability to forgive goes past 19 year old dumbdumb who joined the military. My ability to forgive stops at being on your second contract unless you have a good explanation or you did something worthy for repentance.

    Some idiot gangbanger indiscriminately shooting up a park is forgivable to me.

    I think forgiveness is a virtue and a test of maturity, which we are still responsible for acknowledging.

    It is possible, if she didn't die, that she could have realized the error of her ways. If that happened we could have this conversation, because I agree about forgiveness being a virtue. However what actually, materially, happened was a murderous terrorist was killed in an Iranian self defense strike, making the world A slightly better place.
