I don't see everyone's problem. You wouldn't even kill Hitler, Osama, Stalin? "Oh no, i have no right". It's not about rights, humans have been doing it for centuries. I doubt i would have any psychological problems afterwards either. Even in self defence, for example if they're trying to kill me or hurt my family.
I agree with William Munny, here. And maybe whether or not it impacts me is not really a factor. I think I choose not to end someone else's life unless the situation has no reasonable alternative.Hazy said:
I would, however, be happy to drop Bin Laden off at the steps of FBI headquarters, hogtied and with a nice shave.
Then I'm runnin' fer president.
Ummh, being that this is cold blooded murder, absolutely not. I'm very surprised at the amount of people who said they would. I'm especially suprised at the people saying they'd kill someone they know personally like "this guy at my school." I mean, what the fuck, if you don't like him, beat him up, you don't have to shoot him, that's a losers way out. Makes you think about what our society has been teaching kids and the failure of parents across the board. Again, the answer to most of our problems is proper schooling and good parenting, but the world seems to be lacking in both those areas.
EDIT: my above statement is in regards to not having any repercussions and yadda, yadda, yadda. There are a few people in the world I would kill regardless if I got in trouble or not. One name that comes to mind is bin Laden, though I think he's dead to be quite honest. Ahmad Shah is another one. I wouldn't kill Kim Jung Il just because he's predicable now, I don't want someone crazier than him taking over North Korea. I'd also put a bullet in Hassan Nasrallah's head given a rifle and a clear line of sight.

It is easy to say "I would do it" when you're sitting in your chair in front of a computerMr Cwtchy said:
I don't believe anyone who said so would actually have a courage to do it one day. Well, maybe some people, but definitively not all of them who said they would.I wouldn't. Murder is not the answer to anything.
I wouldn't kill someone i knew, i would kill a bad guy like osama and get that bounty on his head.
If it were all the annoying people on the internet (see: 90% of people on ANY gaming forum EVER, 4chan users, games piraters, snobs, scummy twats, etc) then yeah, I'd probably kill them.
Of course i'm target number one in my hate circle, so it wouldn't play out too well... okay, not number ONE, but still.

I'd kill Osama Bin Laden with a flawethrower. That guy deserves to die 1,000 horrible deaths, but 1 firey one will do.
Yes, but violence still would not solve anything. Those lives that he ruined, those people that he caused misery to, they would still be ruined. We'd be getting into an avenue of revenge.ICanBreakTheseCuffs said:
That's a matter of perception.HG131 said:
If we're talking about a "kill one, save many" scenario, then that's a slippery slope, and one that requires a lot of thought before making a decision. After all, I lost an uncle in 9/11, so it hits close to home for me. When it comes down to it, after all of the pain, misery, and heart break that he caused to people... I don't feel like I am the type of person who is capable of making that call. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Finding a way to detain him so that we may avert any potential crisis similar or equal to that September 11th? Sure, I'd love to stop that from happening. But who's to say that killing him before the incident wouldn't have sparked another fuse, and in turn, another terrorist attack?
Again, I would say that's debatable. True, the future, for the whole, would probably be better. After all, a man who's caused a lot of grief would be dead.ciortas1 said:
That said, I still think that violence towards the individual would be unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, as it doesn't change the sins of the past. I'm sorry to keep coming back to that, I'm coming off as redundant, but I feel it's a very important standpoint to look at.
