nobody's trying to obfuscate.

You wrote that taking ANY life is wrong. You didn't specify "within the context of the OP".

But... why not discuss which type of life is acceptable to take? I believe, like in most things in life, it's not all or nothing, black or white. We draw a line somewhere, and different people draw that line in different places.

Nobody lives without taking life. It's all a matter of WHICH lives we take, but to pretend that some of us are stone-cold killers and others get by without taking ANY lives is untrue, and actually just polarizes us regarding this issue.

If we recognize that we ALL take life to survive, then we're effectively on the same side, and it's a discussion of WHICH lives to take, not WHETHER.
