Do you have what it takes?

I just saw a guy in the manga general that says he want to kill someone and it got me wondering.

How many here can say they got what it takes to kill a human being, and i'm not talking about the conditions, like self defence or out of hate or envy. I mean to take a gun and walk up to some random person in your city, aim and squeeze the trigger. Now don't say yes or no in an instant, take a second and think if you would be able to do it without hesitating.

I know i wouldn't be able to kill anyone without a good reason, but if it were a war it's obvious I would kill, it's kill or be killed out there.

i don't think i will be able to do that here in Canada... but in the philippines maybe its plausible.. Razz

its much easier though if you have certain situations leading up to it.. like hating someone or maybe self defence where you have no hesitations or lowering your inhibitions... but if you were to just randomly kill someone that would tag you as a maniac for you must have a reason to kill other than for the heck of it..

probably not.
im not motivated to kill someone without anger.
and unless they've done something to me i really dont
feel that anger. and plus im too empathetic.

One random guy off the street not thinking of any consequences, sure. Thinking of what would obviously come afterwards, the death penalty or a hell of a long time in prison, hell no.

If I were somehow assured that I would face no consequences, then I'm pretty certain I could mentally disenfranchise my own conscience long enough to commit the act. Whether it screws me up for the rest of my life is another matter entirely. >_>

personally, i need to be a vigilante first(i used vigilante cuz it's more popular here in the philippines than an assassin). even if they say it's for justice, announcing it to the whole city and doing the murder in public is quite ....hmmmm, what's that word?....oh yeah, stupid. were they really doing it for justice? or were they just taking revenge on that person? or they just wanna show off that they're doing something heroic? one way or the other, it's still stupid, and can be very well described as unreasonable.

I honestly think I would be able to do it. I'm not really afraid of death so I wouldn't really be afraid of murder. Death and murder happens everyday, so why should I be afraid of something that I think is normal.

Murder is pretty sad, and for it to still be common and increase, it's just stupid. Sure I would murder someone, not for the money or fame but for a reason. I get to judge if that reason is good enough for me to get out a gun and pull the trigger on someone. But sadly, this world is filled with stupid people who would kill for 10 dollars and less.
