Under What Circumstances Would You Commit Murder?

[Crescent]

Men are the cause of all the problems in the world?

*Intellectual* discussion board, ma'am.

...Sorry, I'm a bit defensive about stuff like sexism.
On a serious note,
Especially animals?
Above all else, if I'm reading that sentence right.
I can't comprehend a situation where that would be ruled as reasonable in any modern court system.
Disagreement on each point, ma'am.

I shall wag my finger and take my leave.

Knew I was gonna get flack for that sexist jab. Of course you are its ok. But I believe it is the gospel truth and am sticking to it. Rape, wars, please. They invented violence. Just read the news. You never mentioned in your question if it should be be ruled as reasonable in any modern court system which is kinda the point (thinkin outside the box here). Iam not bound by the law/rules in any country (but TFF rules XDD). I will kill for those (human or not) who cannot defend themselves. To address your question that is how I rationalise it. You wanted a "raw opinion" from a "normal" (whatever that is) person. There you are.

They invented violence. Just read the news.

Human males invented violence? As in, there was no violence before human males?

The big ol' cheeseburger I had for dinner was delicious, and I'm sure some stupid cow had to die for that. But oh well, humans are on top of the food chain for a reason.

The responses in this thread ... I can't tell if they're more funny or more sad. Too many people are ... we'll say "naive". Tried to kill somebody in a kids' playground fight? You'd kill somebody for harming an animal? Nearly every post here fits into one of two categories. They're either, "I'm so badass and awesome, laws don't apply to me, and if I did murder somebody, I could do it easy and never get caught," or, "humanity sucks, anybody who says they could ever harm another living thing for any reason is a horrible person".

Go away, try to put yourself in that possible situation, and if you have a brain in your skull, you'll realize that this question is, or should be, more rhetorical than anything. People that have had to kill others, and I mean out of necessity, don't brag about it, they don't BS about it, they do what they believe is necessary and move on.

If 99.9% of you were ever to be put in that situation, you'd be clueless, too filled with fear and confusion to move. And I'd be willing to bet that nearly everybody who's posted in here believes that they're the exeption. It's pathetic.

I didn't say it was badass, I was being honest. I tried.

OMGAWD is entitled to an oppinion just like anyone else, even if it aggrivates others to the point of firing insults.

Your high horse may be too tall to climb off, man.
I understand that it is difficult to convey tone of voice in text, but you could try using the "benefit of the doubt" tactic.

Yes, we've touched on this.
No, I think people are speaking hypothetically and do not really believe that they could murder someone without losing sleep.

wow!! cool your jets dont take it so seriously..

..Oh soo original. Look my baseline thinking is that I value freedom for every living thing when you are born into this world..but those slaughtered animals dont get a choice. Humans do it for the simple (stupid.EVIL) reason because we just..can. I just dont understand why we cant *cough*won't*cough**..apply the same principle to animals. HUMAN rights laws were founded and implemented to stop that very exact thing but just amongst one another.

What do they have in common besides being evil? They are all men.
We all know that the majority of serial killers are men. Men are responsible for the world's most gruesome wars, and the world's worst man made disasters.

Therefore I conclude all men are evil.
