If the circumstances called for it?
Probably not. I once accidentally killed a hamster (that I hated) and cried for two hours. Killing a human would devestate me.
Yes. If the circumstances called for it.
If neeeded to protect either my life or another life then yes. If I can take someone down without killing them that would be the prefered method. But if given no choice (Either kill or be killed) then yes.
No problem whatsoever. Just need the right circumstances, and I’m your man. I am one detached, cold-ass motherf***er when it comes to certain things. A gun would be easiest for me, but I’d also be fine using a sledgehammer, baseball bat, machete, hand axe… I could stab someone to death but I don’t think I could slit their throat. I’d really need to be pissed to choke someone to death with my bare hands.
And yeah, it kind of creeps me out, too.
I could never kill a person that I deemed “innocent”. However, I can be absolutely cruel, brutal, and ruthless to anyone who has harmed me, my family, or another person that I care about. Maiming, painful death, and even torture would not be out of the question if I knew that I could get a way with it. To be honest, I have always wanted to have the chance to kill someone under certain circumstances but I also realize that it would probably be for the best if that opportunity never presents itself.
I am physically able to kill someone. I don’t know what value this information has…
Yes.
And I am also capable of being tormented for the rest of my life by the necessity afterwards.
No.
Not anyone.
Not under any circumstances, what so ever.
Unfortunately, I think I could. I don’t know how I’d take it emotionally, but what ever would have caused me to do it would have to have been very traumatic in and of itself.
Although I might be more likely to handcuff them to a burning car, and give them a hacksaw. :eek:
For my own sake, for any reason? No.
To protect my friends and family- heck, even strangers? Yes. Without hesitation.
Do I have the skills? Heck, I’ve played lots of violent first-person shooters… so I’m probably considered an expert. 
Yes, I could, if I had to.
Long ago and far away, I almost did, once. Somebody did something unspeakably horrible to me, and I went the next day to where he lived, with a baseball bat. Lucky for the both of us, he wasn’t home and didn’t come back. But I was mentally prepared to do it, and I would have, too.
Nowadays, I’m in a place where I can rationalize that his punishment is being the same person tomorrow as the one he is today. After what he did, I wasn’t so level-headed.
Yes. Killing is easy. Living with it is hard.
Yes I could.
After spending some of the most developmental years of my life constantly being ridiculed in elementry and junior high, I have no remourse for assholes, and a weakend sense of humanity. I have a lot of anger deep down. It never spills out into anything physical; but it has soured my thoughts and feelings towards people.
In self-defense, or the defense of others? I like to think I would be able to.
Would I be happy about it? No.
I don’t know. Let me check.
Yes.
Some situations I think most would kill:
You find a guy violently and bloodily raping your mother or a female friend.
A guy is trying to kill you.
Drugged and hallucinating.
Driving and drunk.
Killing is natural… its the aftermath and our conscience that makes us “human”.
In defense of others? Sure, I have an overdeveloped sense of martyrdom. I’d also probably sound like a mad dog as I did it, at least that’s how I sounded when I thought someone had broken into our house one night.
In self defense? I might, though I might also get myself killed while trying to keep the attacker from killing anybody, including myself.
hmm . . . I think I could attack someone violently in a self-defense or defense-of-other situation, and that I could potentially kill someone in the process. And I’d probably be tormented by it for a long time if I did, possibly forever.
Now, could I kill someone in a premeditated fashion, rather than in the heat of the moment? No, not a chance. Maybe I could, but I wouldn’t want to, regardless of what they had done – it’s just totally antithetical to what I believe. At the very least I can say that something would have had to push me to the point where I’d totally abandoned my moral beliefs, which I certainly hope could never happen.
Most definitely. And should I be experiencing PMS at that time, then my answer would be…
most definitely and without hesitation or backwards glance.
