Is murder always wrong?
Like the trolley problem. How is indifference to other preventable deaths any better than killing one dude.
I mean, definitionally yes murder is always wrong. Killing isn't always wrong, but murder is when killing is unjustified so yeah, it's always wrong.
Maybe in law speak, but murder and kill are synonymous.
They are very similar, yes, but synonyms will often have subtly different definitions and connotations that mean you can't just replace one with the other wherever you want. Frankly, the difference between murder and killing is something I learned in high school English so I understand that the difference might have been off your radar before now, but this is the way the words are used most frequently, they're different words for a reason. Murder implies a moral or legal judgement on the action of killing, and killing is just dispassionately describing that something has died as a result of some other action. We all learn something new every day, it's OK not to know something.
Thanks.
I do like to learn new things, particularly when it comes to the English language. Although I am English I kinda suck at it and was always better at Math.
