murder
 

i murdered some one today, not the first time that's happened, but this one wasn't premeditated, i reckon their's a fair chance i'll get caught, maybe 50/50, still i've got a fairly good lawyer who's got me off serious charges before.

Only joking! Did I have you going?


Answer this POLL

If you knew you could get away with murder, would you do it, if you had a good reason?

the polll is anonymous too, you sick fucks.

i certainly would not.

Never.

Depends on the situation.
I honestly believe everyone is capable.
It would have to be super desperate, or a "kill-or-be-killed" scenario for me. Or something deeply personal, like revenge for some unspeakable act being perpetrated on me or someone I love.

I would definitely condone serious but non-lethal violence in far more cases if I knew I would not be prosecuted.

I can't imagine any circumstance where I would murder. Like Savage Clone, a self-defence situation might be one reason, but then I suppose that wouldn't be murder strictly speaking. So a resounding no from me.

not unless i had a child and someone was deliberately causing them harm in any way.

self-defense doesn't count, i'm talking about pre-meditated.

How about if you knew for certain someone was planning to kill you or someone in your family, was committed to doing so and it was only a matter of time?
Also, there are instances where courts fail and rapists/murderers/pederasts get away with their crimes. I think a lot of people would be motivated for their own brand of justice in those cases.

i think torture in the case of rapists/paedos/etc or if someone was going to kill my family or whatever i'd go for limb removal or something. or gouge out their eyes and destroy their ears and let them live like that for the rest of their life. touch wood that such a situation never arises though.

Isn't this basically what the entire Republic is about? I just took Intro to Philosphy last semester and never want to answer this question again.

But I will.

No, but I think under the circumstance, given that you had a "good" reason to, especially if you include the elimination of the fear of getting caught as well (because it would still be there even if you knew), then it would be much more tempting than we might think. I'm still gonna say I wouldn't, though, cause I can't imagine working up the nerve to do it.

i wouldnt premediate anything even if i knew i wouldnt get caught, but in the heat of the moment, it could be...

but i would regret forever.

Yes. Of course.

the only time i would definet;y kill would be if the earth was attacked by aliens and they needed volunteers for a war in space, but only if i got to be a space fighter pilot. otherwise i'd join the resitance on earth, i wouldn't like to be a soldier fighting on another planet.

If self defense doesn't count, interplanetary war of survival sure as hell doesn't count either.

the only problem would be that i'm not sure if i could stomach flying a space fighter, i mean i just riding a roller coaster makes me puke.

Any situations I can think of in which I would actually kill someone, it wouldn't matter if I could be caught. Particularly if someone I loved were in danger and there were no other choice. But I would do that even if I had to go to jail for it. Same goes for interplanetary warfare. But I think the murderous aliens are misunderstood. They mean no harm.

so what are they doing invading planet earth then?

Perhaps they are just on vacation (holiday).

they probably are, on a human safari.

Lets hope they aren't poachers.

i suppose there are places that we could send them on earth that nobody would be too upset about a decrease in the population, australia for example, or france. or best of all, the american bible belt.

Changed my mind.

I didn't have to change my mind about you. I might consider doing it knowing I would get caught

Cantankerous, you've been summoned in the Mix Tape Round 2 thread.

On a side note, that is....

The fact that you're made out of wax would probably make it easier for me, though. :)

I said maybe. I'd have to really want to kill someone enough. If you don't want to kill them enough, murder can cause some pretty heavy psychological damage to oneself.

I dont think anyone could know unless they are in a situation. I said no.

Picking up a hooker off the street and killing her doesn't sound that hard. Or do you only work on the internet?

Come back to me when you've got your wits about you, laddie.

I never thought I'd want to do this to anyone here, but you are going on the ignore list. I really just can't stand you, sorry.

thank god.

I voted yes.

I wouldn't murder someone but I would kill them.

Some of you post about it as if it's a video game.
It's more complicated than that.
Killing somebody can be quick and easy, but it's tough to live with the thought of it afterwards.
It's a fact that even in self defence, you'll probably live with guilt and denial.
Many people in that situation have contemplated with suicide.
Killing someone can ultimately destroy you as a human being.
Something to think about, the next time that thought crosses your mind.

so far we know there are at least five psychopaths on this board.

i want handwriting samples from the lot of you. you can always tell by their handwriting.

someone told me i have the handwriting of an angry 10 year old, and that my handwriting is scary

i have one of those wacom tablet things, i'm going to hook that up.

what's that?
