Could you kill a person?

[FrostyChick]

If I was in danger, or if someone I cared about was in danger, I wouldn't hesitate.
Normally I'm a pacifist, but I fully recognise the fact there are situations where violence is necessary.

 

[Mr. Google]

Who? A stranger? A guy you hate?

Probably yes, but had to be quick death, like cuting his head of with a Katana.

That seems a little to....up close and personal for me. Id have to do it from a distance with a gun. When you use a sword thats just messy and again really personal.

OT: oh yeah. If someones trying to kill me I have no doubt that I'm going to shoot back.

I think getting a gun in Portugal is harder than a Katana, that's why I said that.

More seriously, an headshot with gun from long distance sounds more easy to do and deal psycologicaly.

Alright that makes sense then. And yeah you're right it seems like you wouldnt even think about it. Snipers have the right idea haha

Actually, because it's so easy to kill as a sniper, some professional military snipers have experienced a psychological disorder where they are utterly unable to bring themselves to kill someone whatsoever. Kinda leaves them hollow and sad. Not fun...

oh....well then!

 

[ImprovizoR]

Everyone can kill. All it takes are the right circumstances.

 

[Aircross]

If I need to use deadly force to prevent harm (or further harm) to myself and other people then I would.

 

[Kiwilove]

There are people I would be willing to hurt very badly (rapists, child abusers, sex-trafficers, and african 'witch-finders', off the top of my head). I might kill them, but that's because at that point, I probably wouldn't have the self control to stop hitting them.

 

[ReaperzXIII]

I could do it to survive or to protect others, but just randomly killing a dude, hell no, and yes I would feel remorse either way if it was because they attacked me the remorse I would feel is more the "I'm sorry that I had to kill him but as for the person himself I don't really care" variety.

 

[spartan231490]

Not in cold blood. Hell no, I mean I might be able to physically do it, but the guilt would tear my psyche apart in about 20 minutes. In self defense though, I could and I would and I wouldn't feel guilty in the slightest. In that situation, the aggressor set the rules, I just followed them. He decided to put both of our lives on the line, and he would face the consequences of that decision.

 

[EcoHulk]

If I got to do what I need to do, I think I could do it. I've always had a less serious view on death than others have, I believe once you die, you don't care, your dead.

 

[Nimcha]

I don't really have a conscience, so I don't think it would be a problem.

The thing I would worry most about is getting caught.

 

[manonfire11]

Physically I could, but no matter the context, it would probably drive me insane.

 

[ciancon]

Sure, if they were a zombie!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cazza]

Yes

I would need to be a damn good reason. It would take time to get over it but I probably would.

 

[llew]

moral code, if they are female or don't deserve it, no. if they are male and not very nice, yes

 

[Kevin Maccaull]

Well, im going to be an officer in the USMC. so I guess eventually i might have to. I hope im not one of the soldiers thats just fighting because they have somthing we want. I want to have a reason to kill them, not just because they have oil.

 

[Kais86]

Yes, but I'd need a damned good reason.

 

[GraveeKing]

No. Under no circumstance in any way shape or form would I want to kill someone directly myself. Not in self-defense, not someone who'd killed someone close to me in cold blood. Call my a coward - but violence is a bad thing in my books and I never want to sink myself to that level of being a killer.

 

[gphjr14]

Probably if I had to but I hope that situation never arises.

 

[viking97]

having never done it i don't really know, but i think i could if i had a reason.

 

[Rylee Fox]

No matter how much I may want to kill someone, I couldn't bring myself to actually ever do it. I'm pretty sure that if I ever did, I'm the type that would keep doing it so its best I avoid it at all costs.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Although I would always seek a non-violent way of solving the problem first, I'm sure that I could kill someone. If they were threatening an innocent person, say with a knife to the neck, I could kill them. However, I believe that I would always try to just maim or seriously injure someone rather than outright kill them.
