[TooClose$]

The Abortion Poll Was Very Succesfull, Ty!

how about this?

Is it right to kill?


Is it right to kill?

No i hear you say? what would you do if you were sitting in iraq right now, and a soldier came up to you, and was 3 seconds away from shooting you point blank? Stand there and do nothing?

Think about it for a second.
The World Is Such A Complicated Place! :eusa_thin

Hard To Think About.. Isnt it?

[Concentric]

Well i think thats a very broad question and you need to specify what kind of killing you're interested in, do you mean animals or other humans for a start?

[Mendonky]

well if u unprovokingly just go and kill someone, thats 100% wrong, and u can be arrested for, but if you are attacked, and lets day you use to much force , and the other person was killed, its still wrong, but was accidental in self defence, but the fact is that you have taken another persins life, so this realy is an open-ended question

[Ryo976]

Yea and we could get in abortion again about how "killing" a unborn baby is wrong. Personally i think its right in the right situation but anyway please specify

[Ciaran]

i belive self defence is totally right because in england if a robber is about to shoot you, your not allowed to cause any damage to that person at all because its classed as assult if they havent hurt you first, a man about 2 years ago shot a man who was about to kill his wife during the night and the man who defended his family was sent to jail for 5 years and the robber still walks the streets today... now think about that? english laws are terrible

[Concentric]

yes your absolutely right, that is rediculous

I personally do not believe in absolute morality. There are always times where anything is right. Killing for no reason, is wrong, but then its not always, for a normal person it may be, but a mental patient, hasn’t really committed a crime, thy may not know what they’ve done, its not there fault. another reason is in self defence, killing someone may be the only option, and in its a situation where ether you or someone else will die, i would choose to kill rather than be killed in most situations, this it’s a if the person was the aggressor though, in a situation where maybe you can died to save someone else depending on the person, I would be willing in some situations for it to go the other way. Plus in the morality of say assassinations, is it right to kill someone say to stop a war, 1 person instead of 1000s, even though that person may have not even done anything wrong yet. or may even wasn’t intending to, it just a mistake.
its a hard subjects, but i don’t believe killing can be wrong all the time, just a very large % of it, as although there are situations where it IS necessary, most situations would not require anywhere near as extreme actions

Although in a war situation, killing seems to be have deed right, as say gunning down 100's of enemy solder’s, what real moral defence is that from shooting someone in self defence, except that in war situation it is not a crime but in normal situation it is.
Also it should be remembered it’s the same for the enemy solder’s as its is for ours, one peoples freedom fighters are another peoples terrorists, its is truly a matter of what side your on.

Also I do NOT agree with the death penalty, if a person has been caught, they should not be killed for a pervious crime, even in the circumstance of cereal killer or mass rapist. Life in prison would be a far worse punishment, than allowing them to die and be free, as what would you prefer, being in a small cell for the rest of your life, or death, I think personally death would be the preferable option.
I
ts a topic for thought I must agree.

Yup. It's right to kill your classmate.

[Pulchritudinous]

Theres to many situations to look at in this question, and I don't have the time...
