Would you KILL one person to end terrorism?

Any person will do.

Published on July 21, 2005 By Moderateman In Philosophy

I am asking this for some insight into different personalities here on joeuser.

I would pick that Idaho molester to kill, no remorse, no guilt.

Now for the bloody part, if you choose to kill someone, it must be done by cutting their throat.

Lets see.

I think the "Momma Bear" instinct is the strongest and scariest emotion a woman can have. You wanna die painfully? get between a woman and her kids

oh yeh, no doubt about that, could see tex rip a throat out with her bare hands to protect her anklebiters

There are as many answers to your question as there are humans on the planet. Everybody has a reason for saying they would or wouldn't. From what I've read, everybody's ducking the spiritual side of the question. If you hold someone's life in your hands, then who holds yours? If you choose to take that life, then who'll take yours? Everything you say, think and do has a reaction and an effect on your life somehow. I'm not opening the Bible here, I just think that if you kill someone, regardless of the outcome or potential benefit, then you're no better than a serial killer/terrorist/religious fanatic. We don't choose to be born, so making the decision for someone else to die is out of our hands, regardless of the stakes. If everyone thought "just one" would make a difference, they'd be lining up to take their shot at (someone else's) immortality. Eventually, someone would think that way about THEM, and take their life for taking someone elses' life, etc. The last one standing inherits the planet - alone. No, no matter what the stakes were, I'd defend your rights to pose the question until I was dead, but I would not kill deliberately for any cause.

you also are over thinking this simple question.

Yes. Hell yes. I could, and I would.

By the way.....the best way to hit the major vessels in someone's neck is not to tip their head back when you slit their throat, but rather to tip it forward slightly.

Just for future reference, in case anyone actually HAS to slit someone's throat.....

yep get both the cartroid and the {shit I forgot} one is a vein and one an artery.

Although I prefer sticking the blade in the back of head at a 45 degree angle, cut spinal cord and scramble brains same time.

you are over thinking this, it's just one of those "what if" situations

you also are over thinking this simple question

It's a temperamental difference: roughly speaking, the Left tends to think with its head, the Right with its gut. That is NOT a dig: I really think we need both. It's possible to over-intellectualise simple things; it's also possible to under-intellectualise complex things. As you said, "I am asking this for some insight into different personalities here on joeuser". In that respect the thread has been very insightful.

Jugular. Speaking of which, I have to get a cut down central line placed in my jugular tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to that, I can tell ya.

The blade in the back of the neck thing is good too, but for the more faint of heart the tip 'n' slit is the way to go.

As for me, even the gut is too high.

In the case of If I caught them in the act, and killing them was in defense of the victim (or hopefully the "would be" victim) I would kill to prevent or stop the crime.

However, there is a difference between vigilateism and defense. While I wouldn't lose any sleep if the oxygen thief in Idaho woke up with a Columbian necktie, I wouldn't call for it.

Not sure what the child murderer has to do with terrorism though.

They will surely get the death penalty for their own crimes

-- Not necessarily, there is always plea bargining(sp)

Can't stand that procedure.....

--As for me.....i would have to say in defense of my family...only.

I don't think I would. I doubt I could be arsed. There'd just be more in a couple of years and I'd burn in eternal hellfire for it - I doubt I could accurately hit a terrorist with any weapon at range, and I'm fairly certain they'd be able to overpower me in close combat - I'm not exactly trained - so killing an unarmed, completely helpless person wouldn't exactly mesh with my principles.

And add to that the inevitability that even if you kill them all today some more will be born tomorrow it seems like too much of an effort for such a small reward. After all, very few people die of terrorism - I'd rather eradicate malaria or cancer with a single bullet.
