Could you kill a person?

[StormShaun]

For survival or the defense of someone, I wouldnt do it for any other reason.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

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.

 

[Apollo45]

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.

 

[Saelune]

I hope so. I wont pretend I know I can, but there are people who simply deserve to die. I dont believe in silly ideas like not killing them makes you superior. It just makes you still have a bad guy around.

 

[mrscott137]

Yes, as long as it was for a Greater Good.

 

[ChaosBorne]

under the right circumstances yes i could.
to protect a loved one, myself or anything else dear to me.

 

[Pegghead]

I don't think I'd be very good at either doing it or handling the guilt. Watching a pigeon get run over yesterday was quite upsetting for me, so God only knows how I'd handle ending another person's life.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

To me it's all about context. Thats one of the ways the legal system fails to be moral in my opinion.

So yes I most like could if that was the only reasonable option. But you never know right?

 

[Cherry Cola]

Yes, as long as it was for a Greater Good.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Yep, easily. I could shoot somebody no problem as long as I have a reason why.
But anything messier than that, like stabbing or bludgeoning, I'd have a problem with.

 

[MacChris1991]

kill yes. murder no.

 

[Rainforce]

well, I can probably force myself to do it, but I think killing is making things too easy/don't do justice to whatever said person has done in his/her life. And then there's also the problem with hiding the body, etc..
so, killing in itself is highly impractical, but still doable.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Yes, as long as it was for a Greater Good.

THE GREATER GOOD!

 

[blackjack117200]

Why am I killing this person? If I'm killing this person for no reason, then no I couldn't do it and no I couldn't live with myself even if I did. If I'm killing this person because they're about to axe-murder my family then f*ck yeah I could kill someone and f*ck no I wouldn't feel bad about it. Context please.

Completely Agree, only in defense of myself or someone I care about.
Though In military service I would also, thinking of joining up.

 

[Mark Flanagan]

Yes, I know I'm a person capable of violence.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Yes, as long as it was for a Greater Good.

The word you are looking for is "psychopath" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy]. You should be tested to make sure you're not just talking shit on the internet to sound tough, then locked up if you're not.

I've taken a psychopathy test, I scored slightly above average, but not enough to be classified as a psychopath. I don't compulsively lie, and I feel empathy for people I care about whereas psychopaths don't.

I simply stated that if I were presented with a stranger, instructed to kill them and reassured there would be no legal ramifications, I would.

 

[DiMono]

I couldn't kill someone on purpose. I could beat them savagely if they did something to deserve it, but I wouldn't be able to deprive someone of life.

And who says video games don't encourage violence...
