Would you kill...?

[RottingInBed]

Hello again

This is my 2nd crime related post of the night! Have been binge-watching stuff.

My questions are:

1. is there anyone you would kill if you knew 100% you would get away with it? (If yes, would you want to do it yourself or via a hitman?) and

2. would you accept say £1million but you knew that a random person you don't know would drop dead?

Bet I'm going to have some fcked up dreams tonight!

Thanks for any responses.

I do find this absolutely fascinating btw. And challenging. Morality, humanity, how we view ourselves and what we believe we are and are not capable of.

Actually no. I take that back. I don't think naive is the right word. Perhaps "in denial" is more apt.

Is evil in the thought or in the action though?

I will never be in that situation so I have not done anything evil. Am I evil if nothing in my life has been evil?

Yes, Putin and Trump for the common good
No to second question

1. Yes. I have a huge, huge list.

1. Absolutely not

Personally yes. I think having the thought and conviction that you would murder someone for your own gain is evil. Even if you never actually carry out the act.

??? It's a game and hypothetical. Lighten up.

Maybe I am then. 🤷 If its thoughts that determine when a person is evil rather than actions then I suspect I am far from alone in that.

1. Yes.
2. No

•yes, most definitely
•no

1. No.

2. No.

People saying what about Putin - there is always going to be another Putin and another Trump. It isn't up to you to play god.

Why isn't it? When Putin is playing god with other people's lives, why shouldn't someone take him out?

Damn, you've ruined my very clear Yes, with hitman, to Q1.

Among people I've known personally, there are a few whose premature deaths I'd be quietly pleased to hear of. I don't hate any of them enough to cause those deaths, though. So, no.

Q1 addendum: I would kill somebody who was about to kill me (if I got the chance) and probably if they were about to kill other people.

Q2: I wish I could say yes 😂 but I'd just feel awful while spending my million. So no to that, as well.

Can we go back to world leaders & suchlike, please? I wanna be a theoretical murderer!

Why isn't it? When Putin is playing god with other people's lives, why shouldn't someone take him out?

Because two wrongs don't make a right. I feel like that should be obvious.

Also, if Putin got taken out, it's likely that another like him would just fill his shoes.

Look up Utilitarianism.

So if you're going to take out Putin, how many others do you think you could take out without being a murderer yourself?

It's so ridiculous. I mean, obviously the man is a piece of shit and I despise him. Sadly, there are plenty willing to carry on his evil.

1 - no. If someone had wronged me that much, death would be a mercy. I would want them to suffer, and I would want them to know why. That is not possible if they are dead.

2 - Yes, People drop dead all the time. Me getting £££ for it would not have much bearing on that.
