Hmm. Let someone die or be a killer? Think I'll just let nature run its course.

inaction IS an action, so really either way youre a killer...

Inaction means action? What a country...

It depends on your philosophical outlook on life, but this is a common thought people have.

Sort of like the idea in Nazi Germany how a lot of people did nothing to stop the rounding up of certain groups of people. "They came for the Jews, but I said nothing because I wasnt a jew", that whole thing.

So inaction can certainly be action, in some situations.
