Weird question

[Ergroilnin]

Wow wow wow guys, you are putting way too much thought behind this. My sort of thinking was more like "the person killed someone dear to me, I can kill him without any consequences, would I do it?" sort. Not psychotic one like "omg he called me names in elementary school, he's done!" way.

But either way keep going it's interesting to read :3

God.

Think outside the box, nerds.

Last time I thought outside the box Firefly got axed.

Firefly was bull anyways.

[Shlup]

Pfft, you're not fooling anyone, Botchmun. No one believes you don't like Firefly.

[Fynn]

No. I would never, ever kill anyone, no matter how much pain they'd make me go through.

Now, torture, on the other hand...

Not sure what's sicker though.

[Fynn]

Yeah, I know. It was a joke, though. I could never find it in me to do either, actually. Call me naïve, but I just think it's wrong.

Then no I wouldnt kill someone over a personal reason. Thats just silly.

[Jiro]

Maybe. I'm pretty vengeful. Not a big fan of the killing business but it's one of those "don't push the big red button" things; I can't and therefore there's that sense of curiosity.

[KentaRawr!]

I don't think I'd ever be in a position where I, in every sense imaginable, would want to kill someone. I can't morally justify asserting my own existence and simultaneously deny someone else's. Even if I were to take a consequentialist view, in which killing one person will almost certainly benefit others, I think I would question that action for the rest of my life. Not knowing whether or not it was right would be a punishment on its own, at least in my mind.

Excellently put.

But to sum up... you'd feel guilty.

Yes, definitely. I think it's important to look at why one would be guilty, too. In my case, it's because I can't say with certainty that I'm worth keeping alive and the other person isn't. And if I'm killing the person for other people's benefit, I can't say whether or not it's worth subverting one person's right to life to meet that goal, regardless of the numbers involved.

KentaRawr... you are definitely worth keeping alive. I've seen you post plenty of times and I regard you as a legend.

I didn't mean it in a self-disparaging way. What I mean is that there isn't a way I can say "I should live because I'm human and humans deserve to live!" and then say "Except that guy. He deserves to die" and still have a consistent philosophy.
