Depends on the situation, in a combat scenario or in defense of myself or another I don't think I would hesitate. But killing someone for the sheer joy of it? no.
Could you kill a person?

No idea.
Sure I can bluster on about how much of a cold-blooded person I am, but just saying that I don't care for anyone but myself proves nothing.
I'll never be able to know if I'm able to take another person's life unless I'm in a situation where I have to. Thankfully such a situation has yet to come up in my life.
Hopefully I'll never need to answer that question.

Always depends on the situation. People change who they are due to the experiences they have had and the experience they're having at the moment. So yes, put in the right situation, I everyone has the ability to kill.zombones said:
As for me, I would like to think I could bring myself to do it if I needed/wanted to for whatever reason. I don't think there's anything particularly special about life, the world has plenty of it, and everyone's gonna die someday, right? I know that's serial killer logic there, but it's still true. At the moment, however, I have trouble enough asking a girl out on a date, so if I decided it was time to make my hands red I would probably let my cowardice get the better of me before I did anything.
I think a greater moral question to me would be "Would you purposely do something that caused more suffering than joy?" To me, death =/= suffering, its just part of the cycle. Unless someone is tortured to death, but I can't think of any reason I would do that to someone.
Also, shouldn't this thread have a poll?
In cold blood, it depends on the person really, i don't mean to make that sound horrible, but if you were given the chance to kill someone, who you know has killed or maimed people in horrible ways and will again, i might take the shot, MAYBE (theres a difference between saying it...and doing it >.<)
For survival? if he/she is trying to kill me or my family? go for it.

Mentally, with enough logic and reasoning behind it, I think so.
Physically, hell no! I've never even fired a real gun.
I tend to deal with things by not thinking about them too much, but just dealing with them myself, with my own conscience and morals. People like my mother believe in "opening up" and all of this emotional crap, to me, that's not how it works. Sure it's just bottling up your emotions, but you don't need to pay for some fucking counselor or anything, you just deal with it.

If I could live a life as Dexter I sure as hell would. I would go for as many bad guys as possible bu I doubt I would find it that terrible against knocking some other randoms once in a while.
I think everyone is capable of murder given the right set of circumstances . If wasn't for society's consequences for murder I think the streets could flow with the blood of the innocents.
Yep, or at least I think so. I picture believing you can and actually doing so are vastly different.
But for now, yes.
My house is now being watched by local law enforcement

To be frightningly honest, yes. I could easily kill a person, and I kinda have the mindset that i can trick myself into beliving i was doing it for something better than just my life... so like serial killer mind-set..... yea 
If it came down to a point where it was kill or be killed, I might be able to bring myself to do it, of course it'd probably ruin me emotionally.
Yes, I can confidently say I could. If they were threatening me or a loved one with deadly force (or traumatizing force; as an example, if my significant other, or a child of any sort, were about to be raped) I would have no problem whatsoever snapping their neck and burying a bullet in their skull. And later I probably wouldn't care except that it got blood on my nice jeans. Some people just aren't worth caring about.
