It all depends if you get caught. .

He didn't ask whether other people thought you were morally justified. Do you yourself see killing as justified in certain cases? It should matter little to your conscience whether or not your act was discovered.

If I was assured that the act wouldn't be discovered my morals might become a bit more flexible, as would the morals of many people I am sure.

Also, self defence yes

Revenge, it depends (also why I was wondering if I would get caught). If my family was murdered and the guy was released because no one read him his Miranda rights I might be tempted to kill him and hack up his body and flush it piece by piece down the toilets of truck stop bathrooms across the country on my way to Mexico.

Army, yes

From a Darwinian perspective you would be doing the world a favor by getting rid of some of the crazier people out there (such as those who would come at you with a knife, or adjust the seat when they vallet park your car) by keeping them out of the gene pool.

Well, I wouldn't be the one doing the killing. However, why not just take the safety tags off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

All of those answers depend on the person being killed. If that person is inferior to yourself, it's a lot easier to justify it.
Would people still think that guy who killed Lincoln was bad if he had just killed some hobo?
...Matt was no exception to this. When he stood in the street and noticed his chest started to really hurt again, he made the decision to look down. He screamed like a grown man would scream when that grown man sees a laser burning his chest, and that is like a little girl...

If it came down to where I had to defend my wife's life, then someone would die no questions asked period. As far as revenge, I think it would depend on the situitation, if someone were to hurt your children, wife or parents then they deserve what's comming to them whether it's moral or immoral there's certain things you don't mess with. If you're in the army or military if you're doing your job then it probably means you are being shot at so wouldn't it be the same as self defense?

Army gets complicated. Yes, they are shooting at you but other people are also on your side so if you don't kill someone, then someone else will. But if you fail to kill someone, that person may kill someone else on your side.
Dropped the atomic bomb let them know that it's real

I understand what you're trying to say, and I don't think there is a right or wrong in a situitation like that. I do believe(this is just my opinion) that if you are in a situitation of war then it's either kill or be killed. Unfortunatley, if you don't kill then someone on the other side can kill one of your comrads or you yourself. That's where I was comparing the army with self defense. Just my opinion though.

I agree with Self Defence and Revolution, and if it's on acident you shouldn't get punished. However, even with the revolution, killing would just make a war, and wars just create animal like caous.

Ape doesn't kill ape ! :lol:
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fucking cross? It's like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a rifle pendant.

I would kill somebody if i was in the army because if you dont hurt them they would hurt back and kill you. Also for self defence it depends what type of self defence: if a terrorist hi- jacked a plane i would (try) to kill them of course but if it was just somebody breaking into my house than no, well only if they might kill you but then i would just hurt them.
I wouldnt kill for love as that is just foolish because you could be an innocent one having an affair. Revenge would be okay but only if they killled somebody very close to me and finnaly if i killed somebody in an accident i would forgive myself but you will always know that you did it and you would have a grudge with you for life.

If you kill anyone (unless your mental) you will also think about it knowing what you did.

War is tricky. Yeah it is self defense, but you chose to join it and take that risk. And theres the whole defending your country thing. Yeah your country is fighting the other country, but the people you are killing probable don't personally hate your country, they probable joined the army for the same reason you did.
