Anger, hate, fear, most common emotions. I am a highly emotional person.

I am pretty sure I am unable to kill in cold blood. As for...money, or something highly planned. More like making killing an action, it would be a reaction, a radically violent reaction. After all, I suffer from PMS every day of my life.

EDIT: Thanks for giving me the OP, it was a nice detail from you. *Kiss cheek*

One of the posts in the other thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=524803) got me thinking.

What would the people of NSG kill for? Family, pets, ideals, their religious beliefs, nothing? What about self-defence? Could you kill someone in self-defence?

I was going to kill you for stealing my OP, but since you gave me a kiss, I've decided to be merciful.:fluffle:

Wow, I have just got my first NSG fluffle. It is my duty to give it back.

:fluffle:

Males here aren't the fluffly type, for what I can see...Or maybe I just scare them away?

food. in fact I just killed a pepper plant, I cut it up, and cooked it in with my eggs.

I would kill one to directly prevent the death of another, and only if no other method of prevention remained. That is all, and even that would make me seriously regret that I could not come up with other options.

Food. :)

Not humans though. Well, probably not.

I could only kill in the immediate defense of my life or the life of another with those I care about taking priority.

Define self-defense (defence for you UKians).

In self-defense, while I would use lethal force, I would not be looking to actually "kill" the person or persons who posed an immediate lethal threat to me or my family.

In a civilian situation, I would be shooting to "stop". Quite a difference there, as many times, people who are shot center of mass (center of torso) don't die, as our medical facilities tend to be able to put you back together if you get help within a few minutes (barring being struck in the aorta, heart, or if hit in the head - a brain hit).

And, if I was able to stop them by using lethal force, and the person was laying there bleeding profusely, I would certainly call 911 and then administer medical aid.

Lethal force just happens to be one of the most effective means of "stopping" an attacker. Not the ONLY method - it's usually more effective to leave where possible - or take some other action (some students at VT managed to barricade a door with tables).

Think of acting in self-defense as a continuum of options, with the use of lethal force being at the very end.

I have killed in combat (as part of the military). Since they were trying to do the same to me, I believed it to be fair, and I would say that at the point of extremis, politics has nothing to do with it - you just want them to stop, go away, or die - whatever it takes for you and your friends to make it home in one piece.

And, from that point, I understand why they shoot back.

If my life or the life/safety of a family member was in jeopady I'd do what was necessary. I might do the same for a stranger depending on the circumstances.

Awww, so sweet. :fluffle:

I think the males here are desperate to prove their manliness. Hence the non-fluffles.

Sometimes you don't get an option. The silent freak who lived down the hall from you is now going postal, room to room, and you can't get out of the building because he chained the doors shut.

Also where's the "about ten thousand dollars" option?

Fugeddaboutit. The family thinks you owe us one.

MURDERER!!!

I know, I wasn't specific. It's midnight here. Cut me some slack:P

Damn, I forgot to click pets. If someone tried to hurt my dog squeaky he might just get killed. Also where's the "about ten thousand dollars" option?

That's a terrible lie! :fluffle:

And one for Aelosia too. :fluffle:

I forgot that one. I realised that as soon as i made the poll. deal with it.

it would never be my intention to kill someone, in a case of self defense I would actually only do as much as it took to stop them, which actually might end up being a situation where they need to be severely injured.

I will defend my kids, my family, etc. to whatever ends neccessary, but killing is not my ideal option, in fact, if I did have to hurt someone to protect my family I would call an ambulance and try to help them until it arrived.

I am not a very violent person (says the girl with a few bat'leths)

That's a terrible lie! :fluffle:

*reels in hook* Ooh I gots a big one!:p

myself, and probably the lives of my best friends and family. i wouldn't try to kill though, just hurt them enough to protect myself or my friends.

What's bat'leths? And yeah, I honestly don't know what would drive me to kill another human being. If someone hurt my parents, I don't know how strong my desire for revenge could be. Sometimes I think about it, and it scares the crap out of me.

My ambition.

they are all mine. :)

two of them are dulled, but they are heavy so they could probably still hurt someone.
