Even thoughts have power/vibrations/whatever you want to call it. So I disagree.

I don't think it is ever okay, no matter what.[/quote]
So you want thought control?[/quote]

Yes. I think society would benefit if people controlled their own thoughts.[/quote]

There are no magical words. Wishing someone would die indicates that you are not a very nice person (or you've been pushed beyond some limit). But that can't actually make the person die, unless you follow up with wish with a call to the local hit man.

Is it ever "permissible," though? Since there is no one to give permission about what you are thinking and saying, other than you, I would say yes. If you think it's ok. Which is another way of saying: whose permission are you looking for here?[/quote]

That's a good point.

I would ask you if in the political realm, when debating any subject, are opinions and ideas worth more than the life of those with different opinions, and is saying you hope others die a bridge too far.

I am pretty conservative, and some of the nicest people I have met are hippies.

Whenever I classify people, I try to separate their political thoughts from their personhood.

I know politics doesn't equal an entire human.[/quote]
