Well if you're going to go down that route, then this whole
thread isn't actually saying anything significant, it's just
a whole lot of emotive responses boo towards burglary and
murder. Read Aj Ayer's Language, Truth and Logic.
Suuuuuuuuuper!

What if he said, "I'm your biggest fan, I'm just trying to
steal your unreleased material." imagine how you'd feel
then...

I notice a lot of people have a problem with the last little
bit of the scenario. I narrated that the burglar was
detained -- but it is not known that the principal character
knows this fact. He could claim that he was in a state of
panic during the whole thing, which would grant him all
shots fired.

If the principal character did know that he was detained,
then he is guilty of murder. But would a jury actually
convict him? How many others would do the same?

The best defense would be to deny the "this is the life you
chose" remark. If you tell the police that, you're fucked.

And to the bloke that thought I was reading Camus: I've
never read anything by him. I'm trying to read Philip K.
Dick's The Simulacra -- it's the mid 21st century, and
America is now the USEA: The United States of Europe and
America, and it is run by the Democratic-Republican Party!

A. J. Ayer is great, but if you take him seriously and
decide that you will never say anything meaningless ever,
you will not talk that much. Even the fact that I am posting
on the xltronic message board is only verifiable in
principle; You will never meet me, or witness me posting on
xltronic. You just have to assume that much. Maybe I'm one
of the moderators disguising myself as a Canadian...
