Besides in self defense or protecting a loved one, id never be able to kill an innocent person, no matter what. It still sickens me to think how people are capable of doing such things, even people in the army for example. My brother is in the army, something im highly against, but thats his choice =/
Even being pushed to a certain point, like being emotionally abused, i just dont see how killing anyone is going to solve the problem. It would just make me feel guilty, and id probably be pushed to insanity if i had to live knowing i killed another person. however, if someone killed someone that meant alot to me, even after trying to just protect them, id prolly get revenge and go after that person bahaha.. Of course, it wouldnt solve anything, but im pretty sure thats what id do to be honest. Jail isnt much of a punishment in my opinion, and i can see why they just dont do the death penalty to most people since theres still a chance they might be innocent. If people just didnt kill others, we wouldnt have to worry about that would we ,lol. gah, this is a confusing subject....

Now before you get all self righteous on me, think about it. People in the military do this and it's just part of the job (NOTE: I know it's more complicated than that just using it as an example).

Would you even need to be pushed to a breaking point? Would you kill someone if you knew it meant untold riches and good fortune for you?
