[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6354098, member: 8835"] this part from Mallus got me thinking. use of the word "complicit" has got me thinking that this train of logic convicts me for somebody else's actions. Am I complicit in supporting OSC's current politics because I read Ender's Game in the 90's? Am I complicit because I wanted the movie last month on On Demand? Am I guilty of a crime because I watched a Roman Polanski movie? Am I guilty of a crime because I live in the US and am most likely on land formerly owned by natives? While I would not recommend going to a new land and screwing the natives over to take their land, I am a beneficiary of that very tactic long before my time. If what they did was wrong, they should have been punished for it. While I abhor what Roman did, isn't it the legal system's job to punish him, not mine? I hate walmart, but the least skanky one in Houston is 2 miles from my house, and when everything else is closed, I can get an HDMI cable there. Am I "complicit" because I buy from them now and then, despite the fact that I usually avoid shopping there? I don't think that's right to put on the average consumer in almost any shape or fashion. But there's probably reasonable exceptions. [/QUOTE]
