Ok scenario: You’re best friend (or the person you are closest to emotionally right now) has been captured by ninjas and is being tortured. the ninjas also capture you. the ninjas are doing this kind of thing [Lingchi - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_slicing) to him/her. the ninjas ensure that your friend will survive but for the rest of his or her life be scarred and 90% of the day will be in pain. the ninjas put into your left hand(if you’re right handed, lefties get it in their right hand) a syringe that contains 100 ccs of high quality adrenaline and in your other hand one of these [Loading...](http://www.vincelewis.net/60magnum.html) you have been given the choice of killing your best friend whichever way you like with the adrenaline and fully loaded .60 magnum gun thingie or let the ninjas do what i said before. keep in mind your friend will survive if you do not do anything ---

That is a big ass gun. What is the adrenaline for? It depends on whether my friend wanted to live or die. ---
