Would You Kill Someone?
 
I don't know if this is already up or not, but I'll do this anyway.

The question is simple. Would you kill someone? However, some people would say no, so I'll put up some situations where you're actually gonna have to make that choice.

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the head of your country tonight, and you had 5 minutes to stop them?

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them? And, the rescue boat is coming in 2 weeks....(you don't know that)since you haven't eaten for 1 already, you'll die. Also, that person is planning to eat you...

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?

6. Would you kill someone if given the choice? If they were going to reward you, would you do it?

Serious answers only. I'll have a Moderator delete them...this is serious stuff, okay?

Phew, that was a lot...my answers will come later. Copy + Paste the questions into your reply, and type your answer under them. I look forward to reading your replies...

Objection! February 20th, 2010 10:25 PM

Yes, Yes, Yes, No, and Yes. In that order.

It's not a big deal in my opinion. The world is so screwed up at this point that some people are just rabid animals that need to be put down. I wouldn't enjoy it, but I'd do it.

To elaborate on Number 4, I would if they tried to eat me first. :cheeky:

Adrenalyn February 20th, 2010 10:36 PM

1. Maim, but not kill. The reason...i'd like to see the person suffer a lot longer in prison where fun things happen.

2. Not if I could escape.

3. Yes

4. No, it seems i'm going to starve anyways so why prolong the fun.

5. Yes, since it seems I can't escape in this scenario.

1. I would try to knock the rapist unconscious, but not kill.
2. No, because they could be empty threats - I would report him/her to the police.
3. I would try to knock the person unconscious as well, but not kill.
4. I find this very unlikely. I would be more likely to kill myself and offer my body to that person for food.
5. I would try to knock them unconscious as well. Yes, if my attempts at convincing them has failed, I think that I should protect my life.

DonRoyale February 20th, 2010 11:29 PM

1-3. I'd incapacitate them, restrain them, and have the proper authorities take care of them. Killing them is a bit extreme when you can just deliver enough blunt force to knock them unconscious. :S

4. I HATE THIS ONE. Seriously. Not answering it. :|

5. If it's me or him, it ain't me. :V

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?

Multiple stab wounds, body dumped, good to go!

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?


Not unless if they were brandishing a weapon, or actually intent on killing me, or unless if I knew I was in absolute danger.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?


No, I'd report them afterwards. XD

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?


If I were going to die alone on the island anyway, than no. But if I knew there was some chance of rescue, than yeah.

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?


This one is the hardest to answer, if I were able to kill the person who told me to kill another, than I would try to do so.

Uecil February 20th, 2010 11:49 PM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
I wouldn't kill them just rugby tackle them or something, to stop them

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
no
3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
no i would just like call the police
4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
nah, i'm not that desperate XD
5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
if they tried to kill me and carried on i'll probably would =/

.Gamer February 20th, 2010 11:55 PM

In order:

Yes, yes, too much effort and i hate all politicians, yes and yes, yes.

In addition, I also kill people with long usernames! >:] (j/k)

EDIT: OP added 6th question.

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?

No to all of them. Number 4 is not necessarily an exception. Why? Well, I wouldn't kill them if it wasn't necessary. Incapacitation works wonders, and unconsciousness would incapacitate them long enough for me to lock them up in something. Even if they did wake up, they'd be disoriented from the unconsciousness so that I could do it again.

About number 4. I am a somewhat bulky person. Unless the other person was a morbidly obese person, then I could outlast them. I'd outlast them, eat them, then begin to mutilate myself to survive even longer. I'd probably die, but I'd eventually die anyway. If the person is fatter then me, then I'd kill them.

インフェルノの津波 February 21st, 2010 12:10 AM

OMG. People replied OoO.

I'll elaborate on all of them, to make it harder.

2. They were going to shoot you. With a gun with actual bullets. 20 rounds. You got a knife. They show you the gun, about to shoot you and you got 5 seconds to react. Kill or be killed.

3. The whole political party is targeted. Without them, we're screwed. They have a bomb. 5 minutes to stop them. You have a gun. Do it?

4. The rescue boat is coming in a week. The other person is...very, very obese. A man. you guys know that you can't survive a week without food, cause you haven't eaten for 1 week already. Another would literally kill you. P.S., he wants to kill you.

5....nothing needs to be improved.

Feign February 21st, 2010 12:11 AM

Pssh :P

You can't add factors afterwards XD :P

Needless to say, I know that people here say they would do that, but they probably won't... I'm one of the few that won't hesistate, because I know I'd kill someone, if I had to.

Zeta Sukuna February 21st, 2010 12:16 AM

2. They were going to shoot you. With a gun with actual bullets. 20 rounds. You got a knife. They show you the gun, about to shoot you and you got 5 seconds to react. Kill or be killed.

In that situation, if the guy was smart, he'd keep away until he could shoot, he'd kill you before you could do anything, so I'd say no, only because I couldn't.

3. The whole political party is targeted. Without them, we're screwed. They have a bomb. 5 minutes to stop them. You have a gun. Do it?

Even then, you don't need to kill them. Shoot them in the leg, they won't be able to do much, even with a bomb, if they don't reach their destination. And if you say that the bomb is already there, then just get someone to dispose of it. Not hard.

4. The rescue boat is coming in a week. The other person is...very, very obese. A man. you guys know that you can't survive a week without food, cause you haven't eaten for 1 week already. Another would literally kill you. P.S., he wants to kill you.

I know I'm going to sound like a jerk, but why wouldn't you have eaten something before then? Oh well, it's a hypothetical situation. If it's a week, I doubt I'd kill them, and if they're as fat as described, they'd be unable to kill me, even if they have the drive to. They'd be too slow, and run out of energy too quickly.

There you go.

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
Yes, no one has the right to sexually confront someone against thier will.
2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?

This may seem bad but yes.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
Sorry president but nope. You waste money on fancy new building yet you seem to not have enough money to help the poor people, funny don't you think? So sorry But that's a No.
4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Well I would have to unless I decide I would live of salt water. ^-^ Hehe I am smart.
5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
It depends on the situation. In most cases yes.

PokemonLeagueChamp February 21st, 2010 6:17 AM

1. No, I'd beat the living man **** out of the rapist.
2. Yes. It's self defense.
3. Yes, as long as I could gain evidence to defend me from imprisonment.
4. No. At least, not for a while.
5. I'd kill the person threatening to kill me.

Houndoom19 February 21st, 2010 6:25 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
No, but I'd quite happily beat the living daylights out of them, tie them up (or just knock unconcious) and drag them to the police.

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
If it was literally me (or someone I love) or them, and I couldn't stop them in any other way, then yes.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
Well I'm not american, so I'll just reword the question as it being about the queen or something. To be honest, I'd once again try and stop them without lethal force, I don't think I could actually kill someone for that, since I don't know the queen personally. But I would certainly try and stop them.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Honestly, I don't know. I think in a situation like that, rational thought goes out the window, so I can't predict what I'd do.

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
This is far too vague for me to really answer. It really depends on who I was being asked to kill, if it was some scumbag that spent his life raping and killing people, I'd be more likely to do than if it was my mother.

Sigh, that could very well be a hypocritical statement you know. I would kill them in the aformentioned situations, as I don't believe in second chances in those peoples cases.

Number 1 chose to rape somebody, that is unforgivable.

Number 2 decided to commit a homocide, that is inforgivable.

Number 3 is ridiculous, but threatening to kill the President of the United States is also, unforgivable.

Number 4 I said no to, unless they try to eat me first, which in my eyes, is unforgivable.

And Number 5 threatened to end my life, and that's unforgivable.

I assure you many of us would commit murder in these horrid situations, and not just yourself.

ChimcharFuse February 21st, 2010 7:11 AM

Only if I wouldn't get put in jail for doing it.
Like, for defense.

Timbjerr February 21st, 2010 7:49 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
Severe incapacitation followed by binding and a call to authorities seems more appropriate.

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
Depends on the level of urgency. If it's not too urgent, calling the authorities seems more efficient. For more urgent scenarios, see #1.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
I'd most likely chase them down and detain them before the assassination attempt, followed by #1.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Only if they try to eat me first.

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
In this extreme of a scenario, I think I actually would. >_<

As much as I admire action movie heroes for their sheer amount of badassery, I've no desire to become one myself. XD

Miz en Scène February 21st, 2010 8:02 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
Believe it or not, killing someone who is comitting sexual assault is legal in Malaysia. Huh. So Yes. XD

2. Would you kill someone if they were threatening your life or someone else's life?
Why not? Yes. XD

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
Depends on which President of what country... Malaysian Prime Minister, yes, I would kill them.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Well, I'd kill him, but I wouldn't eat him. I'd just kill him to avoid boredom and to conserve supplies...

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
Without a doubt...

Hahaaha, I'm no psychopath, I'm just a sadist so actually I have no idea if I'd actually kill someone.

Nick February 21st, 2010 8:13 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
I'm not capable of killing anyone, I hope. The most I would do is pose some harm to them by hurting them in some way. If I were to have a gun, I wouldn't shoot to kill, but shoot to inflict pain. Criminals like that shouldn't deserve to be killed on the spot; there should be some form of corporal punishment, whether done by an official, or a total fellow do-gooder.

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
People toss threats around as jokes now adays, it's kind of mind boggling at the amount of people who really can't comprehend the seriousness of a threat. People threaten other people everyday so, no, I wouldn't kill someone for threatening my life. At the same time as how serious it is, it's a threat... not a motive of action. People make threats when they're angry. Who's to say that he or she wasn't angry when she said that? Unless that's a total stranger randomly coming up to me saying they're going to kill me, no.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
Probably not.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Um, no. That's just disturbing on... so many levels.

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
I don't know. This is a hard thing to think about and it seems like I'd be running on nerves rather than rational thinking at that point. There's no telling what someone who isn't thinking properly can do.

Honest February 21st, 2010 8:43 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
No, I'd just knock him out

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
Threatening? No. They would need to make the first move. Otherwise, I'd just be watching them

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
That's a tough one... no. I'd knock him out, again. xD

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Seriously? I just answered the Cannibalism thread. >_> NO WAY

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
If it's a sure thing, that they were gonna kill me, then yes.

Ayselipera February 21st, 2010 9:43 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
Uh I don't think so. Maybe I would just kick them in their privates a bunch of times. In this situation I don't think I would have enough adrenaline to kill them.

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
Only if I knew they were serious and made an action towards me or the other person. Even though I'd probably still try to knock them out or something like that.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
No I'd just tell someone.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
No. I'd just wait for them to die from starvation. Unless I go first then the waiting would of been for nothing.

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
That's a tough one. Hmm I really don't know in this situation.

Medli February 21st, 2010 9:54 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
Why bother? I would just knock them out and call the authorities. They can take care of it from there.

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
If they actually had a weapon and were dead serious (ahaha, yeah, sorry about that; that wasn't funny at all), and I had no other choice, then I'd at least try to hurt them enough to incapacitate them. I don't know if I'd go as far as killing them.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
Probably not. If I could at least try to detain them, then I may try. But I'd try to alert the authorities first.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Ugh. No way. even if I did kill them, I'd be too repulsed to cut/cook/eat him or her. I wouldn't even get to the first step. Forget cannabilism. I have a weak stomach. The sight of blood and organs make me feel nauseous and faint.

And if the other person were to want to kill me, I'd just try to knock them out and lock them up. Hopefully, if I was stranded, I'd still be thinking somewhat logically and lock them up before they had a chance to think about killing me.

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
If the scenario was extreme enough, I probably would. Mainly because I'd probably be running on pure adrenaline by then, and I doubt that I would be able to think clearly.

Gary, the Magic Fairy February 21st, 2010 10:09 AM

1. Would you kill someone if they were raping someone, and you were in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone?
Depends if I know the person, if they have a weapon, and if I have one. If I didn't know the victim, I wouldn't risk my life trying to stop the rapist. But if they can't hurt me, and I have a weapon, I'd do it. I have no moral problems with killing them, and surely the person getting raped would prove that it was self-defense.

2. Would you kill someone if they were threating your life or someone else's life?
Yep.

3. Would you kill someone if you found out that they were going to kill the president tonight, and you have 5 minutes to stop them?
No, why should I care what happens to him? If the security is that weak, they're kinda asking for it.

4. Would you kill someone if you and that person were on a stranded island, everything edible was gone...except that person? Would you eat them?
Eh, I'd probably just kill myself. Why prolong the inevitable?

5. Would you kill someone if you were forced to, if someone was gonna kill you?
Yep.

I have no problems with killing someone who deserves it, or letting someone I don't know die. I'm not going to put my own life at risk to kill someone, though.
