81. Hmm...

That describes every single person in the world at every single moment of every single day; therefore it's meaningless.

My point was that a generic statement that applies equally to any random individual has no distinct value in regard to any specific person. It would like saying "the number of goals scored in the game is at least zero." Technically correct, but useless as a descriptor.

I see what you're getting at re: Martin not being an angel and Zimmerman still being wrong, but your approach strikes me as counter-productive. You spent a number of posts arguing why it was reasonable to suspect Martin of something, thereafter arguing that Zimmerman was still wrong to kill him. While that's true, I don't see the value in impugning Martin with such conjecture. You might as well say "Mr Smith was wrong to rape Ms Jones, but let's not forget that she's a prostitute." Even if it's not blaming the victim, it's still maligning the victim for no good reason.

I imagine that you see it differently, or else you wouldn't have asserted it that way.
