The utter stupidity of this statement caught my eye... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 24/10/2010 08:12:58 AM

They are at war with the Aes Sedai. There is no other way to kill channelers, who hold too many other advantages.

So? Your idea of morality is "they are stronger than me, so anything goes"?

And explain to me what advantage Alanna's warder had over a group of Whitecloaks. Yet they assassinated him, rather than facing him up front. Given your belief that they would have been justified in killing Perrin since he attacked some of their group, Alanna too would have been justified in just destroying them in the blink of an eye. Yet she doesn't. Which makes it pretty clear which group has more checks on their powers.

And it isn't as if their war is by any means rational or justified. Aes Sedai are by no means a bunch of Darkfriends, and have contributed a lot more to checking the power of the Shadow. One would think, given how often you bandy "PoV trap" about, you would pay some attention to it here. Just because the Whitecloaks think it is true doesn't make it so, and doesn't make it true.

Added to this, the fact that Aes Sedai cannot open hostilities against Whitecloaks (and have never shown any inclination to anyway), makes it clear that the advantage is all with the Whitecloaks. Aes Sedai cannot (and will not) even systematically kill any Whitecloak they see against a future chance of assassination, a course which the Whitecloaks themselves seem to
consider morally valid, as do you.

Go look up the definition of the word atrocity - 25/10/2010 04:53:55 PM 956 Views
Maybe you should have done that yourself: "behaviour or an action that is wicked or ruthless" - 27/10/2010 11:11:30 AM 924 Views
the fact that you can't differentiate between the extermination of an entire village - 27/10/2010 08:30:12 PM 970 Views
READ; I *did* differentiate between them. It doesn't change the fact all are atrocious deeds - 28/10/2010 09:00:56 AM 1041 Views

You asked for atrocities and you got them. Now you just don't know what to do with them. - 28/10/2010 06:49:16 PM 994 Views
dude, you gave us a list of petty crimes and compared it to mass murder - 28/10/2010 06:59:33 PM 951 Views
Complete the thought... - 28/10/2010 07:11:37 PM 868 Views

You should be an Aes Sedai; the way you can twist truth would scare Siuan. - 28/10/2010 09:07:24 PM 908 Views

But that is irrelevant. Aes Sedai can also go to Amadicia in disguise. *NM* - 21/10/2010 05:35:18 AM 485 Views
But they aren't in disguise - 21/10/2010 08:31:38 AM 942 Views
They don't wear their uniform, their one identifying feature. That is a disguise. - 21/10/2010 09:08:25 PM 897 Views
