You don't do 'what needs to be done' at the needless cost of others in any sense of the word from their dignity to their lives.

Hurting someone in the name of what needs to be done is still hurting someone and you shouldn't do it.

[sly look] What if it's to protect some motherfucker? Aurors and shit, or people in the war? Is that wrong?

[candycrabapple]

Good to know you aren't even listening. I said 'needless cost of others'. If someone's risking someone or a group of peoples lives or there isn't any other alternative then it can't be helped.

[mo_cara]

Yeah, but doing what needs doing ain't no needless cost to others, either. [breezily]

[Karkat groans and rubs his face in irritation.]

If someone doesn't need to be killed for what needs to be done to get done, then they don't get killed, that is all I'm trying to say here, but even as you are now you're either just not getting it or saying it like that just to get on my nerves.

[mo_cara]

Well, aren't you a clever motherfucker. [slyly]

[candycrabapple]

[Raises an eyebrow]

Yeah well, they don't keep idiots in Gryffindor, for the most part anyway.

[busts up into his weird laughter, like Karkat has just told a really choice joke]

[candycrabapple]

Nothing I said was even remotely hilarious. What are you laughing for?

[mo_cara]

Motherfucker, everyone knows that's the storage bin for ALL the dumbasses! [sniggering] You're just all being one of them fine exceptions to the rules.
