Would you kill...?

244 replies

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 20:10

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.

Yes
No but only because it could be someone decent. If I knew it would be a peadophile then I would take the money.

I think it's kind of frightening how many people have said yes. It explains a lot about humanity.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 31/03/2024 20:30

1 Yes … rubs hands together… everyone who harms animals, paedophiles, serial killers, nutters like Putin. Hate my neighbour, but 🙄I’ll spare him 🤣
Hitman - clearly I have lots of money to be contemplating this, I hate blood and I have enough cleaning up to do as it is!
2 No. I’m not motivated my money or harming randoms.

@Boombatty what? Not even the paedos? Pure evil. I could live with it.

I would've killed my birth father because he was a truly abhorrent scum of the earth monster. He abandoned me for 20 years and then abused me for 9 months including sexually. Thankfully he's already dead. A piece of pure evil who can now never hurt anyone ever again.

I bet they all vote Conservative.

@Chunkycookie I wouldn't trust anyone who claimed they didn't have a list for 1. Saintliness is dangerous and hides all sorts of shit (as I'm sure you are aware).

bakewellbride · 31/03/2024 20:31

No to number 2.

Northernsouloldies · 31/03/2024 20:33

1..that's a maybe
2.. couldn't bear the thought of profiting from someone's death.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 31/03/2024 20:35

@Menomeno nope, Labour, for no other reason than I hate hunting.
That’s like saying you must be a paedophile if you voted no 🤔😆
I think it’s meant to be lighthearted.

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 20:35

I'm so sorry @bakewellbride

Yes, I think I'm somehow less dangerous cos I admit to myself that I've got a dark side and a price??!!!

@RickyGervaislovesdogs I LOVE RICKY GERVAIS! AND DOGS! Thanks, yes this is mostly lighthearted really given neither scenario are realistic.

In fact, it's folk who are cruel to animals where I could get VERY imaginative with my method of dispatch!

  1. Yes, i would love to. I'd do it myself.
  2. Yes, i need the money.
Wherecanshebe · 31/03/2024 20:37

@Menomeno I have voted Conservative since 1979 and it's No and No from me. I don't think the OP was asking with Putin and his ilk in mind.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 31/03/2024 20:37

@bakewellbride I am so sorry for your suffering.

I hope he burns in hell for eternity.

So you think we should bring back capital punishment?

DrJoanAllenby · 31/03/2024 20:38
  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. - YES.

  2. would you accept say £1million but you knew that a random person you don't know would drop dead? - like Button, Button? Thankfully we are financially well off so the answer is NO.

bakewellbride · 31/03/2024 20:38

@RottingInBed it's ok, it was all a really long time ago now and after therapy I really turned my life around. I've got my own kids now and dh is the best father to them I could ever ask for so things did come good for me in the end.

Comedycook · 31/03/2024 20:39

No to both questions.

There are lots of people I dislike but not enough to want to kill them and I don't want to be responsible for taking a life.

There's also no amount of money that would persuade me to kill a random person.

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 31/03/2024 20:39

1 - no
2 - no

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 20:39

I'm sort of surprised that more people are answering YES to Q1 than to Q2! I wonder if the answers would be different depending on whether you found out about the person who died so you could have the 1m.

OP posts:
RickyGervaislovesdogs · 31/03/2024 20:40

@RottingInBed Thank you for the thread, I concur! 👏🏻

And yes, if I knew more about the person for Q2 (though it would have to be extreme circumstances- any form of suffering) and I’d donate to charity/charities/rescues based on the atrocities of that person…. I would never profit from death on any level. 🤢 But I would I would see it as redistribution of wealth. I could live with it.

Thisisnotmyid · 31/03/2024 20:40

1- yes
2 - yes

Boombatty · 31/03/2024 20:40

Menomeno · 31/03/2024 20:31

I bet they all vote Conservative.

🙄 what a stupid comment. Yes as well as killing people let's also demonise people who have different political views. Great way to create a better society 👏👏👏

BigMandyHarris · 31/03/2024 20:40
  1. Yes
  2. No
Sdpbody · 31/03/2024 20:41

Yes - thankfully he died but I I dreamt of killing him and yes, as long as I didn't know anything about them.
