Would you kill a guy?

While I was pondering what the life of being a billionaire would be like, I asked myself....would I kill(never having any reprecautions...not sure if that's a word) for a billion dollars? I actually came up with yes, I would.

My question to you is would you ever kill a guy? (meaning male or female)

For anything, money, fame, love, revenge...or on a less selfish road; for the greater good (they may be a terrorist).

I know it's a dark topic but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. If you wouldn't kill anyone, explain why and why you think it's wrong. (assuming that's the reason you wouldn't)

Yes I am dead serious. Some people may think others who think little of life are ignorant, but I think they might have something.

 

no consequences? kill random stranger?

 

You think you would, but when it comes to the trigger or stabby moment, people who have never killed before won't be able to do it.

Personally, if I were to kill somebody, my motive can only be vengeance. I don't stress over the other things (like money and fame) too much. If someone does something that I find wrong, he/she has to pay the price.


But then, a slow vengeance is the best vengeance, so I won't kill them.

 

to think about it yes, human nature, but to actually do it. guess no for me.

 

for survival.. yeah
meant kill or to be kill.

 

If someone were endangering the life of someone I love and I knew that the aggressor was moments away from taking their life, I would have no problem ending theirs first.
To me, that'll be the only way I would take the life of another person. I would never consider killing someone for money, or fame. In order to take a life, it must only be the -last- option available.

 

No. Reality is I actually couldn't, no matter what they did.

 

no consequences

That's the thing. If I key someone's car I don't think about it later. If I cut up a poor man's college tuition check I wouldn't care 5 years later. If I have a gun and pointing it at someone with a billion dollars on their head, the only thing stopping me would be the jail time

 

Don't forget, if he sat on 5b while he was living, chances are his relatives (or he himself) will make sure you won't walk out of the bars that easily.

 

i know this is serious,but honestly it reminds me too much of the movie the box,so id rather keep my hands clean

 

Agreed. You'd probably be killed before you saw any of that money in person.

And you have to actually think. It's really easy to say you'd kill someone for money, but when your finger is finally on that trigger, could you actually do it?

 

I've killed a kid at no extra fee other than my salary.

 

I guess I can legitly say yes to this since I've done my part over Iraq and Afghan. ( Navy guy here )

 

That's different.

 

Yet again no consequences >_>

 

25 to life or death doesn't sound like no consequences to me

 

Reading posts. You're doing it wrong.

 

The question was would you kill a guy for any reason? Why? Why not?

Hypothetically speaking there are no consequences.

 

Thats the issue, the entire hypocracy of how the system works.

Many people would go apeshit if their special person was killed, yet many have no issue killing others, others whom of which posess more value than one could even imagine. Afterall, you only know how importaint that one was to you when they are gone.

It's kind of like 5billion dollars, that is a riot to even think about. I am not about to get all religious on anyone, but 5 billion can compare with the marvel that scientists call evolution? The frequency of nucleic acid seemingly effortlessly transcribed and translated into series of protiens, how these form superastructures that work in allignment, how the living entities of billions BILLIONS of cells come together to represent the "self".... and then how these can be modified by the environment and experiance... to create a completely unique self, one that cloning will never be able to reproduce.

Then you get into the mind, the most beautiful organ in the body... it forms our perceptions from a void. It turns wavelengths at obscure frequencies into "color" an abstract concept that truly doesn't exist, memories, temporal facts even... our "time" is judged by our brains. We then are formed from this immaculate system of interactions, environment and structure. A 'perfect' concept, the flaws included make it perfect.

I myself still don't know whether believing this all is "evolution" is mankinds greatest and most henious act of prideful bigotry, or not.

But then you get into the fragility of things, how we live on a planet that is exceedingly rare. It is stable, not flying into suns, it isn't being bombarded with dangers, its chemical composition is relatively static. There is an insane amount of animals that could no doubt easily kill us, then we get into diseases and viruses that tear people apart. Many of which aren't even identified yet. Somehow procreation, for the most part, goes smoothly... delivering babies in todays day and age isn't almost like suicide.

There is a constant stream of death, fear and pain in this world. There, in reality, is only one thing that is promised to us. We will all die, death is prettymuch the figurehead of winning. But on that note death is also beautiful, I hate to delve into my opinion on that here, but Death... is truly wonderful in how he acts and forgives.

But even if I assume that this could possible all be due to evolution, that somehow mankind managed to be the only species which can interact with the environment on an entirely different level, the only species that has extended cognitive functioning, and the species that has a large lifespan and has come to "dominate" this planet Earth with EXCEEDINGLY little resistance...

I'd still be concerned, because I can tell you one thing. The fact that everything did play out the way it did, I'm having an even harder time believing that our wonderful 9 letter word, evolution, isn't a giant load of horseshit made by animals who cannot even theorize the proper analysis for how neural firing causes our experiance.

..... Meaning I would start fearing god more than going a day without a butt-massage from a busty blonde. Or that boat on the corner, or the fanciest night-out dinner. In the end they are truthfully just a clump of particles.


But I would never want to hurt another. Ever.

 

400 cheers for brainfarts.
But that "hypothetical" situation will never become real, so it's safe to assume otherwise.
