If killing people was legal, would you? Why is it illegal?

Is it illegal everywhere? I'm talking about private enterprise here, not death penalty, which is of course legal, although somewhat disputed.

I'd like to think I wouldn't kill someone, even if it were legal. It's illegal because if it weren't, everyone would be dead, or at least just the politicians.

I'd only kill to protect myself and my family.

If we where alowed to kill whoever we wanted civilization would collaps and we'd be back in the dark ages again.

I believe it's illegal because people have realised some thousands of years ago that we can't survive alone.


And that's why we have killed in groups ever since.

I have a list of people I wouldn't mind killing, but i'd never do it-it's not right.

the legality of murder does not influence my decisions on the subject. whether murder is legal or illegal, i would still only kill in the same set of situations: to defend my life, my lover, or my family.

Yes I would kill people if it were legal (and even if it weren't, I would have no hesitation in killing in self defense.) I think it would be neat to be an assassin and therefore get paid to do something I would enjoy. :sniper:

It's only illegal for private citizens.

The American government kill people.
The police kill people everyday.
Popular celebrities are always getting away with murder.

I'm kind of a hothead and yes, I would kill people. It's not legal because there are too many people like me. There would be mob violence every day on every streetcorner.
