Funkdamental 05/02/17 2:43:45 PM #39:	There are plenty of decision-makers who've accepted the risk of killing an innocent child (or children) as a regrettable necessity in order to destroy a military target, let alone in order to save 75% of the world's population. Real-life decisions like that are scary shit, because I wouldn't like to say where the line should be drawn, or what numbers can be judged acceptable, or how you should balance innocent lives lost against an objective achieved. This isn't an exact moral science. I don't believe it's realistic to say that under absolutely no circumstances can we ever afford to put innocents in harm's way, but nor do I want to see us sink to the sociopathic brutality of state terrorism. --- /propaganda <cite>Funkdamental posted [p:878337894] in would you ...

I'd just forge their admittance to art school Which ends up changing nothing, because: - he gets to rub shoulders in ultra-nationalist circles, which are fashionable in student bodies at the time; - he doesn't get the marks he's convinced his "genius" deserves, and so he blames the ethnic group to which his professor belongs; - he finds that art grads are ten a penny but refuses to support himself by working at an "ordinary" job because he thinks it's beneath him, so he's penniless and bitter; - and finally, he volunteers to fight in a war that radicalizes him. Yeah, we're talking about Hitler really. I'm just pointing out that his admission to art school in Vienna might have made no difference at all to history.
