My vote is still 'no' :) I was only joking because someone thumbed down my comment.
I can't believe {well, I can but I don't get it} some people are voting "Yes"! Do they even know what they are saying without providing a scenario? They just sound like they have no logic once so ever. If you are going to say "yes" I think you should at least explain yourself a little.
I still believe that they would not and they are just saying 'yes' to get attention, or something like that.
I went with the ever neutral "maybe" myself. There are several people I would like to make disappear, but apart from self defense i'm really not motivated to actually KILL anybody!
You might get away with it now, but after you die, they will know every memory and motive surrounding the killing. Are you prepared to explain why this killing is Ethically responsible?
'They' are the shadow creatures. They are a very highly advanced technological civilization in our local galactic cluster (you may use the abbreviation VHATC-L2 if you like. "L2" is their designation for their home galaxy). They do have a name, but they have asked that we do not use it as yet, because they take offense to a similar foreign word that has been adopted into English in a particular context.
shadow creatures live in your house and want you to leave so they can keep it for themselves. But they can't touch things or pick them up so they try and spook you. They are lame space stealing little things that can go fuck themselves, in this life and the next.
Incorrect, shadow creatures have no need or desire to live in your house. They have their own living units, which they enjoy very much. They can touch things and pick them up, but they will only do this rarely, as a form of trickery or deceit. They are not lame, in any way, shape or form. If you properly understood space, you would know that you can not steal space. You are correct that they are not large, relative to us. My advice is that you should keep good thoughts and cooperate with them as they can and will cause grief to those that have poor Ethics.
They are not made of shadows. They only appear like a shadow, because they exist in an accelerated temporal state (meaning they move very fast relative to us). No one has actually seen them, except myself, because when I made contact with them, I underwent some physiological changes that resulted in heightened acuity.Even still, I only am able to glimpse them if they remain relatively motionless for a long period of time.
Shadow people could only exist with a glimpse of light, so all I'd have to do to protect myself from them (IF they existed) is to just be in complete darkness. Fuck you, shadow bastards!!
First of all they are creatures and not people.They are carbon-based life forms, but exist in an accelerated temporal state. There is no need to protect yourself from them, as they have been among us for hundreds of millions of years.
You should start believing this, as it is all true. The shadow creatures are the basis for most of the world's supernatural beliefs, folklore and mythology. They have also provided us with many ideas that resulted in great scientific and technological advancements.
I wouldn't, but if you filled your pool with International Water wouldn't you have impunity from the law since technically the crime DID occur in international water?
or if you got a vat of air from russia & brought it to your country then killed someone in the vat..i doubt they'd say it was a murder in international air space lol..
If you want to kill someone, you can, and get away with it just fine. As if it's some 'great achievement' to do it and not get caught?? Not hardly. Next to rape, murder is the easiest violent crime to get away with.
All these pansies that say yes but haven't done it are just shit talkers. They're thinking too personally, and not thinking about killing just for the sake of killing. They're thinking 'I want to kill my enemy' or something of the sort. That right there tells you they're not doing it for the killing, they're doing it for a personal reason, and even if presented with the perfect opportunity, they probably wouldn't even do it.
what are you babbling about? Killing with no purpose just makes you a murderous lunatic.
Killing people who gravely wronged you is the only justifiable reason for it. Also pre-emption for self-defense, such as the case of a known enemy which you know will harm/kill you in the future.
No. Let's be honest here, I'm a fucking pussy. The thought of making others suffer just makes me cringe. I couldn't knowingly harm someone, let alone murder them. Sometimes, people need to get hurt emotionally but I can't think of a problem, next to a life or death situation, in which murder is anywhere near an appropriate solution. I can't decide who should live and who should die.
If my existence is to cause harm to others, I certainly hope someone would put a stop to me before I did anything of horror worth note to anyone. I just couldn't watch someone suffer and I certainly couldn't make a mother, or brother, or uncle or friend suffer because someone did something that I didn't like. And I've been screwed over plenty. I don't have the heart. Even someone like Hitler, or Saddam Hussein. I couldn't pull the trigger. Let someone else do it. Not me. I'd probably cry myself to sleep for the rest of my life.
Maybe this makes me a lesser person, but I don't care. I have no desire to watch someone die or be responsible for someone's death. It's not my place in this world.
Then you are dangerously and suicidally sentimental. Let's say a serial killer who murdered 20 people breaks into your home and you were going to be number 21.
You both have guns but you see him before he sees you and you could kill him. If you don't shoot him, he will torture you mercilessly and slowly for months till you died, would you do it?
Have you never hated someone to consider their lives completely worthless and been apathetic towards them? You care too much about others and not enough about yourself.
Many people deserve to be hated and killed-like muslim radicals/terrorists, serial killers, criminally corrupt/seditious cops/politicians, wife-beaters, parents who torture their children, child-rapists, etc.
Do you live under a fucking rock?? A good lot of people are against capital punishment. That means, they disagree with executing the convicted, no matter WHAT they are convicted of.
Self defense aside, most people would never want to harm anyone, let alone kill them.
It's YOUR opinion that "many people deserve to be hated and killed", not everyone's. Most people don't think like that, most people don't appoint themselves judge, jury and executioner. Who the hell are YOU to decide?? Did it ever occur to you that someone feels the same way about YOU?? You're the terrorist.

"Have you never hated someone to consider their lives completely worthless and been apathetic towards them? You care too much about others and not enough about yourself."
No. My feelings don't affect whether someone else's life is worthless or not. And no, I care enough about myself. I stay safe, I have enough self respect not to date someone that would disrespect me and I steer clear of those types of people.
"Many people deserve to be hated and killed-like muslim radicals/terrorists, serial killers, criminally corrupt/seditious cops/politicians, wife-beaters, parents who torture their children, child-rapists, etc."
That's fine. People do horrible things, but the fact of the matter is that I can't muster up the strength to kill them myself. I'd like to see to it that they have a fair trial, and if they are found "innocent", I must respect that. In a situation in which I see them victimizing someone, I'd defend that person, but that's all I could do. If you have such strong feelings about that, then YOU kill them.
I'm not a murderer. That's not my place in this world. I'm not asking you to respect that.
i think you'd react in a way you thought wasn't possible if faced with a split second decision to kill or be killed/watch your loved ones being slaughtered.
who really knows how they'd react in life threatening situations though..
"Sometimes, people need to get hurt emotionally but I can't think of a problem, next to a life or death situation, in which murder is anywhere near an appropriate solution. "
I believe I already addressed this. Please read my post before commenting. Thank you.
A lesser person because you wouldn't kill someone? That seems backwards. In some instances I think being a "pussy" is a position of strength, and this is one of them.
I am not a good actor so I know the truth would probably come out if I was caught. However if I knew 100% that I'd never get caught-then of course, who wouldn't (aside from the pussies here)? lol
If you have the balls to commit murder, you would do it anyway with or without knowing your going to get caught..thats why anyone that says they will do it in this special scenario is full of shit.
"If you have the balls to commit murder, you would do it anyway with or without knowing your going to get caught". Anyone with balls AND a decent brain would only do it only if they had to and could get away with it.
i already think about killing people and myself. i've nearly killed someone and if it wasn't for my friends pulling me of her throat i'd be in prison. when i was younger i tried to kill myslef but didn't take enough pills. i regret it but i know if i could i would and it's quite scary be i don't feel guilty for nearly killing someone... i know there is one person i would love to kill but i know i'd get court so not going to happen.
I once posted a question here asking what the worst crime someone would commit if they could get away with it. I was stunned by the answers. I always thought people were law-abiding because of their personal morality, as opposed to the deterrent of punishment.
The answers I got stunned me so much that I chose not to believe them, and that the people answering just thought it was cool and gangsta to "say" they'd kill others.
... ... ... GTA, assuming the dealer has insurance to cover cars that are stolen off of his lot (if he's smart, he does. If not, well, lol idiot). Mass GTA too, my driveway would look like a car lot. Fuck those insurance companies.
Wow. No. That's pretty awful. I couldn't kill someone. I'm an asshole, for sure, but I couldn't end someone's life. I think that there is a good possibility that most of them have either not thought it through or believe what they see on TV, that it's so simple and one can be so apathetic. All the while we have large numbers of soldiers coming home traumatized. Killing isn't pretty and I doubt that everyone that does it gets that special little feeling of accomplishment. Like I said above. I'm a pussy.
I couldn't kill anyone, either. I'm pretty much an atheist so the thought of stealing away the only life a person will ever have is utterly horrifying to me.
I'm amazed that we glorify killing in films and computer games.
"I'm amazed that we glorify killing in films and computer games. "
No wonder everyone likes you. I never thought about killing from the atheist perspective though but I like your perspective. I am a multi-religious Mormon, so my views are a bit different on the subject of killing but ultimately it's a personal matter of empathy.
I don't understand why the media glorifies killing but I wish I did. It's horrible and barbaric. There are certainly better ways to solve one's problems than through violence. The "I want to kill them" mentality is so horribly flawed... I really wonder if people know just how horrible it is to kill another human being...
Yeah, taken from an atheist perspective, it's the worst possible crime. The annihilation of self for all eternity. It's not just a theft in this life; it's a theft of all and only chance of life.
And yet I've played computer games in which the aim was to kill something. I generally don't like them, but I'd be lying if I said I'd never played one. I watched and even enjoyed TV and films where people are represented dying. It's not a modern phenomenon. I watched an actor playing Caesar die in a production of the Shakespeare play.
Despite what I said in the first paragraph, I didn't feel the horror I should have done. The horror I feel when someone actually dies. Maybe there's something in the brain that protects us when we know it's not real. But the question still stands as to why we commonly accept killing as entertainment. I'd imagine people would be outraged if standard entertainment began to consist of brutal, graphic rapes, one after the other.
I'd love to see our culture characterise people who come across all gangsta as complete losers and people from difficult backgrounds who contribute to society and make something of themselves as winners. They're the ones who've done the hard work with a difficult start. There's nothing worthy, or even difficult, about pulling a trigger.
Nawh yer good, we're on the same page here. I don't know how old you are but even in HIGH SCHOOL the "gangsta" culture is a big hit. Because violence, something that requires little to no thought, is worth respect and praise? And of course if you disagree with this, you have no backbone. I will proudly accept the title.
It's seeping into younger and younger people too. I hear 10-11 year olds telling people to fear the crew they "roll with". And I wonder who taught them such values. Our society glorifies violence and those that unnecessarily commit it.
I have a few friends from the Phillipines ok I'm too tired to look that word up, Somalia and a few other third world countries that can't stand the way we Americans think of violence and think that if we saw TRUE violence, we might not think it is so cool anymore.
Eh... I want to say that it depends on the person. But even if I was given that choice to end the life of a terrible, awful human being, I think I'd be far too weak hearted to do it.
I can truly and honestly say I would commit murder, and it would in fact be pre-meditated murder, I've come close to being charged with murder before already, Working for a private security firm over in Iraq after Saddam's rein was ended I had shot a few civilians, and I knew at the time I wasn't going to be punished due to the location and time.
My answer is, no.
I can't believe {well, I can but I don't get it} some people are voting "Yes"!
Do they even know what they are saying without providing a scenario? They just sound like they have no logic once so ever. If you are going to say "yes" I think you should at least explain yourself a little.
I still believe that they would not and they are just saying 'yes' to get attention, or something like that.
If the answer is nay, I hope you have your tin foil hat firmly donned.
As for murder, after age 40 i'd think about it.
My advice is that you should keep good thoughts and cooperate with them as they can and will cause grief to those that have poor Ethics.
But then again, if everyone could commit one murder and get away with it, I'd probably be dead before I get my chance to seek revenge.
