Quote by: Epistemologist  The Mongol Horde killed other cultures for cultural expansion. I think murder is killing within a culture, although often it's an individualist vs. a member of the culture per se. Then again, I think ancient Babylon under Hammurabi had "an eye for an eye" justice, where punishments were delivered in about the same magnitude as the offense. If you accuse someone of a big crime without evidence, for instance, you'd be executed. But then again, that's just the death penalty again. I should also allude to some cannibalistic groups. |
I am pretty sure that killing for the purpose of conquering should be considered murder.
