Question:
Hitler was an evil man, a horrible man. Would you kill Hitler's baby child to punish Hitler, make him suffer?

Does the idea of killing a child for Hitler's crimes seem... just, to you?

This sort of scenario highlights the difference between vengeance and justice. It would be vengeful to kill the child because the point of revenge is to make the perpetrator of evil suffer in the same manner that his victims did. Justice, on the other hand, dictates that the perpetrator must be punished for his crimes, the main purpose of that punishment being to negate whatever threat they pose. Since Hitler killed himself justice was, in a sense, served: he no longer poses a threat. The drive for revenge may not have been satisfactorily sated for some, but revenge isn't a rational course of action in any scenario. In this case, revenge means harming an innocent, which is in itself an initiation of violent force and necessitates the swift dispensation of justice.

No because it's punishment enough being the child of Hitler. But me personally wouldn't kill the a child that had nothing to do with its fathers action.

As for the woman who phucked him, how and why?

"Would you kill Hitler's baby child to punish Hitler, make him suffer?"



No because the baby didn't do anything wrong and it is wrong to judge a person for what his/her parents did no matter what his her parents did as no one can control what his her parents have done. Also killing people for who they are is one of the horrible traits of Hitler and killing someone for being a relative of Hitler would be doing what he did even if to a lesser extent as it would be killing someone for who he/she is.
quite contrary

No, because killing an innocent child would make me as bad as Hitler and his cohorts.

He was a horrible man that much is true. Killing his child would just be wrong, selfish, awful, horrible. So how would that make you any diffrent then the first guy? The baby did nothing. if your fater killed people does that mean that you could be killed because of what he did? No.

As far as I know, evil is not genetically transferable, so I wouldn't have anything against the child and killing an innocent to punish the guilty is just plain f'ed up.

Not in a million years. That would be terrible.



But we all know what God would do (and supposedly did). Exodus 20:5. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me."

No, the child did nothing wrong. And if you look into it, Hitler never directly killed anyone, only inderectly. He, however, had a very skewed and wrong view of the world and how it should be run(by him)

Nothing screams philosophical unoriginality like a hypothetical involving Hitler.

Genetics is sometimes a powerful tool or so thought even God when all but Noah's family died from the deluge. Since then God gives second chances...and three and four and so on...until his first instinct is found to be probably right....but for the rhetorical babies sake I hope not.

Evil is subjective.

Harming an innocent to torture a monster? Call me sentimental, but I couldn't do it. And no one should.

kind of reminds me of the western world killing all Muslims because of the few they don't like.

Nope. Vengeance is not mine but God's province. Make no mistake, He repays.
