Poll: To kill

[Baldry]

Givin a reason, a cause possibly I could, but neveer out of cold blood

 

[silver wolf009]

No. all life is sacred to me and no matter your sins you should live.

 

[esperandote]

i would do what dr chase did in house to that dictator guy

 

[The Night Shade]

yes,but only if is a bad person

 

[Lullabye]

This would seriously depend on my mood. I may even do it in cold blood to a random guy, maybe you. Or I may decide to donate money to charity. I go back and forth alot.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

No, because I consider death a release not a punishment.

 

[Tharwen]

I immediately voted no for two reasons:

1. Genetic impulses that make it harder
2. Years of training by our society that would probably have extremely adverse psychological effects on me

but then I realised that you said 'no penalty', meaning that these psychological effects would not happen, so I probably would in that situation, if I had a reason to.

as i was reading down this thread, i honestly wasnt sure. there are people who, if killed, would make the world a better place, but could i do it in cold blood? my first thought was no, and then when i read DragonsAteMyMarbles' post, i realized that there is one person that i would kill if there was no penalty.

 

[Jodah]

Four months ago probably not. Now though, I would. The person in question at one point was a family member but I have since disowned him. If I could save his life by giving him the gum off the bottom of my shoe I would walk past him, burn my shoes, and laugh the entire time.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

No.
Although maybe. If I could kill John Lennon's murderer (I am not even a big fan of The Beatles).

 

[Jedoro]

Without penalty?
Only one person? D:
Yes, I probably would...
Need to make this world a better place...
Oh, and as to how I would do it...
however is necessary at the time. It doesn't matter how, really...

If I had the option, I'd go Punisher up in this *****. If not, I'd take out a drug lord, then anyone who got in my way, and steal his cash.

 

[CoffeeScamp]

Probably only in self/family defense.
Possibly, at a stretch, for mercy.

"Without penalty" pretty much rules out everything else, as even if "they deserved it" you would have your conscience. In the event of self defense, those feelings would probably be balanced out.

 

[MorsePacific]

Absolutely not. What gives me the right to take someone's life?

 

[AgDr_ODST]

one person? I'd do it so long as I didn't have to face him/her(ie look the person in the face) otherwise it would be much more difficult. As for how it would depend on who I chose.

 

[Javelk]

There are several people I would send to the afterlife, if there was no penalty for it.

 

[Treefingers]

I dont think i could do it.

Perhaps if it was an 'either him or me' situation... then i may. Or say, if i was in the position where i had the power to kill a potential murderer before he/she killed innocent people (think sniper with terrorist and hostages in his sights, for example). The chances of the first situation is unlikely, and pretty much 0 for the latter.

In any case, even if i did kill for whatever reason, it would haunt me forever.

 

[mip0]

I HATE THAT &%@?!#$£3¤#"£!

 

[yoyo13rom]

Short answer, what his guy said(ninja'd):

Could I kill someone? Yes. Would I? Morally, no. But if it was a heat of the moment thing, and would have no controll overmyself whilest knowing that I would get away with it? Then yeah probably.

Bonus: I think I'll make a thread about how many freaking times this topic(and numerous variations of it) have been done on thins site.

 

[AvsJoe]

Unless the world would be better off if the person was dead and I had a foolproof fuckin' plan to do it, I'm gonna pass. I'm no assassin. Besides, the guilt would be too much. I really want to go through my life without ever having to end another.

 

[Hobo Joe]

If I chose who to kill yes, I wouldn't just kill strangers.
