‘... - I find your idea of "We Westerners" to be morally offensive and exhibiting notions of superiority that are best left in the sewers. For that reason I don't intend to respond to that part of your post.’
Philosophical discussion in the west, of ideas in regard of the principles surrounding means and ends is extensive. It has become a core western value which features in and permeates our society and laws. That you find my use of the term westerners morally offensive and an expression of superiority odd in the extreme, for westerners are defined by their morality and outward displays of the thoughts, ideas and principles that make up western philosophy. That you attempt to criticise me because I dare use such a term is astonishing.
It leads me to ask: On what basis do you lay claim to be western?
Now forget your use of weasel word excuses for not responding ... they are not at all, appropriate, meritorious nor creditable.
Now let’s see the true extent of your intellect rather than your expertise in mere propagandising and wordmongering.
And by the way I think you have debased the philosophical basis of our justice system and are now, standing in the dock, accused of trashing the system that you as a lawyer are supposedly a ‘pillar’ as I note you offered no explanation nor defense of your support of those who would punish innocents.
