So pointing out a logical flaw is considered "trolling"? +1 for Interesting!

So an innocent citizen's life is so precious that...it's okay to kill some of them in order to punish others who take innocent life? Gotcha.

Hence the quotes. I'm not going to jump into a semantic debate, however. Most folks here seem to have gotten the gist.

The lie is impressively effective, but it's still a lie. This has less to do with the "lie" told to subject by the researchers, and much more to do with the "lie" the subject tells himself.

It doesn't require superior intellect to understand that each child you produce will cost you about a quarter of a million dollars to raise.

This nonsense about "haves" and "have-nots" is going to be a problem for you one day. I'm not saying it's fair, but life is not fair. If you don't understand that yet, your parents and your teachers have failed you.
