Could you........ (part two)

Kill somebody without conscience.

Some can some can't, some say they can out of bravado but when it comes to the crunch couldn't.

What say you?

Re: Could you........ (part two)

If it came down to it my answer is yes, I seem to be built that way. I'm not saying i'm going out of my way to actually kill people, but if through somehting I did or some form of misadventure I caused the death of another, I would feel no remorse.

When my grandparents died I felt nothing even though I knew them and was close to them.

Like I said I suppose I'm just built that way.

To reiterate I AM NOT AN AXE MURDERER

Re: Could you........ (part two)

Times of war?,
survival could be
at risk if you were too think
your actions thru.
times of peace?,
I very much doubt it.

Re: Could you........ (part two)

I can think of certain circumstances in life that could lead me to kill someone, some of them retaliatory. I'm sure these situations will never arise but if they did I can imagine that I could do so without remorse. Of course you don't know until it happens.

The obvious example would be if war broke out.

So, hypothetically:

There's a genuine accident, tyre blow-out resulting in that person
side-swiping your car and the kids are hurt: You'd end the guy there
and then, no questions asked?

Re: Could you........ (part two)

Other.

Too many variables. I'd not hurt a fly (literally) if I can avoid it let alone kill somebody.

But.....I suspect in certain extreme circumstances, or war, or immediate threat of death to my family....I probably would.

Re: Could you........ (part two)

Yes - I'm sure most people would be able to. Similar to others - hurt my little dudes and I would kill and not feel bad about it.

Think if I killed someone accidentally (e.g. car accident) I would feel terrible
