Anyway - we live in a world that has disease, people die, people get whacked out, people want to kill other people over crazed ideas, and crazed personal profit motivations. We live in a world where guns are neccesary, torture is ill defined, and a world where one needs to defend their values and life.

So... when I defend my values by not condoning torture... what? An exercise in futility because "the world is the way it is" and my personal values don't mean squat? Well, you might as well throw out stuff like "human rights" then because it's the individual that makes THAT happen.

Any other talk of such minor things is pointless and pathetic.

I'm confused... If I
DO defend my personal sense of values it's "pointless and pathetic"?
If so, then there really isn't any point to living because we're always going to find ourselves failing to improve and our efforts to do so, pointless...
