and LW has given the scariest answer No scarier than your average suicide bomber from the other side...gimme a belt full of explosives and send me to some huge mosque somewhere...

would not trade one whip to kill a monster. not a single hair on dat head.

that's my 4 cents {inflation} lol

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

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.....

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.

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.

the Left tends to think with its head, the Right with its gut.

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.

thanx, I do love revealing questions, I was suprised by some, not so suprised by others.

the child killer would be MY choice for my one murdere to end war.. that is where that uselesss garbage comes in.

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.

I'm mad, mad hahahahahahahahah

The best thing about this article is there is no right or wrong answer, so good on you lucas for standing up for your own beliefs

yer a good man cacto, willing to put how you feel out there.

I will hold the victim for you, the victim is a convicted child molester and killer, would that make it easier?

if it ended terrorism? Yes. I would feel duty bound to do it. What good is one life alive if all that one life does is spend time killing life after life after life? Now, if the situation was I had to kill someone? well, it would have to be me aginist them, with no possibility of two surviving.

well thought out...Most folks feel that way. "me or someone" well then "someone got to go"

Oh my G.- concerning the comments on this last one, stunned me. THE REPLY BY JOEBLOG IS RIGHT ON! ONE I HAD NOT EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT. TIME TO CAFFINE UP MY THINKING AND CONSIDERING.
I had been going through reading the different comments and trying to decided if I could do something like that. I mean, kill one person if it ended terrorism. It's not in my nature to kill, and the question is a tough one. I am new to this site, but love it. Nothing makes me happier than to consider questions of great magnatuide. And how I would respond.
As I was reading what I kept thinking was that if one person could end terrorism, by killing, wouldn't it have ended by now?
