Is it really self-righteous and arrogant to be unable to look past things you can't agree with? Where do you draw the line when it comes to tolerance?

Crimes of passion, sure.

The kind of people who plan out and commit murder for gain? They don't change.

What about people who do it when they're told to, but... don't seem to feel any regret afterward?

Lots of soldiers do that. It doesn't make them bad people.

[Hello, Phoenix, would you like to meet his coworkers?

Spoiler: They actually are bad people. >_>]

Even if they take pleasure in it?

Do you mean sadism, or just satisfaction in doing their job?

((Also his partner is something of a sadist, but he doesn't know that. *sigh*))

Er... I don't know. A little bit of both, I guess.

((OOC: Poor Togusa. He really is the naive one.))

I guess it's better when that kind of person does something constructive, like join the military.

You're getting awfully specific for this to be one of those philosophical questions people around here like to throw out.

((They actually try to keep him that way, despite all the teasing they do. He's totally the Section 9 mascot.))

Ah... Am I?

Look, the guy has the right to a zealous defense, even if you don't personally like him. That's how an adversarial system works.

[He thinks Phoenix is asking about a potential client.]

((Togusa: /drinks coffee :3))

Huh...? No, no... I think you misunderstood. This isn't about someone I'm defending.

This is personal? Do you hang around with a lot of unrepentant murderers?

((One of the Section 9 team members is a sniper. -__-))

No. That's why I... ah, never mind.

If whoever it is is really as bad as you're implying, why are you torn over it?

[locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I don't know... I guess because I think they want to change?

Do they really, or is it just wishful thinking on your part? You sound like you want to be talked out of a decision you already made.

[locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I think they do. I just don't know if they can. It's a complicated situation...

Yeah, well, you don't need to ask advice on the simple ones.

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah...
