Could you kill somebody?

[Mozared]

Well yes. If it's in the 'direst of circumstances' I probably could, depending on the person in question. For clarity's sake, lets say it's a total stranger who hasn't done anything good or bad to me - in such a case I probably could.

I would make sure there were absolutely no other outs then though.

 

[razer17]

Yep. Certainly could, even in cold blood. Just that the law and public opinion of me stops me from doing it.

 

[Aptspire]

I would probably

 

[Booze Zombie]

I wouldn't really know until I had to.

 

[Glerken]

I don't know. Mentally, I think if it really came down to it, I probably could.
I'd really rather never find out for sure though.

 

[Kajin]

I'd like to think that I can, because anyone who is uncapable of taking another human's life under the appropriate circumstances isn't fit enough to survive in the long run.

 

[lwm3398]

I don't think so. Maybe me or them, or if I knew I'd be killed if I didn't do something, but... I don't think I could do it if I knew someone would pay my ransom, but I'd rather just attack them with a glass bottle, take their gun or knife, and hold them hostage until some police arrive.

 

[Marshmallow]

In self defense I bet that most people would. If you had a weapon that could, and if someone was really threatening you that much, I doubt you would give much thought to the psychological effects of ending a human being's life.

 

[dstryfe]

Yes. Of course, I won't do so unless pushed to, simply out of fear of the consequences (psychological as well as actual).

 

[Pimppeter2]

Most likely, but I wouldn't do it for lulz

 

[JoeKickAzz]

my situation.................

i see some one dying in pain, he is bleeding massively, i would shoot him in the head to end it all.

or

pulling the plug

 

[MorteSphere]

If someone had a gun to one of my parent's head, the fucker would be all over the wall.

 

[CyberGenesis]

my girlfriend's ex husband...easily. The abusive shit that he is...

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Yes I would. If my family was in danger then I would do it without hesitation.

 

[Kriptonite]

I don't know. This is the kinda thing that you can never know until the situation arises. I'm sure people are like "lulz, I cud totally pwn someone IRL" but for real, I don't think I could. I'm not really sure however because the situation has never occured so my answer is a resounding..I don't know.

 

[Spaghetti]

Yes, physically I *could* kill someone. But I'm not likley to do it. Being a self-confessed pacifist does mean that I can't kill anyone.

And just so you know, yes I've already been called a "pansy" or "coward" for being a pacifist.

 

[firedfns13]

If the situation warrants it, I'll fire some warning shots to arms/legs. If thats not possible or they refuse to stop, game over for him.

 

[Darth Pope]

Yes. That's all that needs to be said.

 

[Vuljatar]

Yup.

 

[USSR]

Without a doubt, yes. I could.

Will I?

Most likely not.
