They bought a Caribbean island to start their own country

f*ck the zuck.
We'll only allow it... if it FITS our AGENDA.
Governments using the word "Revenue" Should be outlawed. People might start thinking twice if every time politicians talked about "Revenue" they had to use words like "your money" instead.
Am reading "Never split the difference" - Chriss Voss former FBI hostage negotiator he talks about how to save the $100,000 and save the kids!
One of my favorite books! You’ll love it. And proves the point- you do negotiate!
Actually it proves the exact opposite. If you actually read it you’d know how most situations were actually solved without giving the terrorists what they were asking for. That’s the opposite of compromise and traditional negotiation. Hence @TheCj above saying how to save $100K AND the kids. But ofc, you’d pay them $100K, becuase in your own words you turn into a senseless animal who lacks reason and morality to save your family (and somehow that’s supposed to be admirable and rational, the exact attitude Chris Voss recommends for such situations!)One of my favorite books! You’ll love it. And proves the point- you do negotiate!
Many of the situations you speak about were the kind you mention - where the terrorist had no escape. But not all. I can’t remember by heart but at least 2 if memory serves me right were the latter kind, where the terrorists were either part of a larger organisation, or they weren’t under any pressure.
I wouldn’t because I cannot trust terrorists and people who are immoral to that extent. As you say in the next sentence, nothing stops them from taking the money and killing your kid, or even worse, taking the money and kidnapping another one of your kids.
While this is human and understandable somewhat in that situation, I can’t sympathize with the view. When you repay evil with evil, you only prove that you’re like the aggressor. Justice is different than revenge because justice is proportional and justice aims to prevent further harm.
The way you are wording it here and in the other thread come across very differently.

Fentanyl is messed up. Some dude was sitting at a red light in North Van, ODed and passed out, ran the red, then ran over my sister while she was sitting at the bus stop texting me. He died but they revived him with narcan.
Drugs need to be made legal. The war on drugs is clearly just making things worse.
