ya, id make it gruesome to, just for shits and giggles.
I would rather take him down instead of killing.
Do you think said person would even approve of it? If he/she knew you had to kill another man so they could live?
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;33860329]And this is why I've always seen infatuation as a producer of evil.[/QUOTE]
A necessary evil. Life is much less enjoyable without people you love. That and it's not evil. It can be used for evil things, but love has lead to innovation, creativity, inspiration, culture, etc.
Of course. It wouldn't be easy but if I had to put a bullet in a strangers head to save a friend/family members life I would do it without thinking too much about it.
Absolutely, however I'm not entirely sure how I would react in such a situation so I cannot really say.
In the OP's scenario (Captured by a psycho, forced to kill people to see my loved ones again), I'd probably do it, but be very hesitant about it.
In my own scenario (Someone threatening the life of someone I love right in front of me), I'd do it as if it was second nature. I'm very protective of my family and friends, because I know I'd probably be nothing without them.
I will kill myself....
HA, I'd kill someone for a klondike bar
[sp]no[/sp]
If it was to save my boyfriend then yes, absolutely. Hell, I'd even give up my own life.
For my blood relatives, most likely not - unless I was doing the world a favour by killing a terrorist or something.
I would imagine it would be easier the less you knew about the other person though, for example if they had a young family the guilt alone would probably cripple me.
Easily. Anybody who says no won't survive in the real world.
For my girlfriend? Yes. Family? Yes. Girlfriend's family? Yes.
yes
If it's a random stranger, then of course not.
Just because I know somebody, doesn't mean a stranger has to die just because.
Would I [B]want[/B] to kill a person to save a person I love? No definitely not.
Would I do it if such a event occurred in my life? Yes definitely.
It's very easy to be reasonable and rational when nothing is actually happening, but knowing that someone you love is going to die and you are the only one able to stop it from happening. Hm, I'd go pretty far to save that person. Of course I'm also just taking guesses. I have no idea how I actually would act in real life.
Of course, but afterwards I would probably think back and regret it

[QUOTE=FuckaNinja;33713734]I'm surprised at the amount of no's. I could see you guys' wife and kids holed up in a dark corner with guns to their heads and it's up to you to kill some stranger in their sleep to save them but instead you're like "LOL SORRY GUYS THIS RANDOM STRANGER'S LIFE IS MORE VALUABLE TO ME THAN YOURS SO PEACE BITCHES!" Like doing whatever it takes to protect your own means absolute shit to you guys.[/QUOTE]
I would do it but to insult people who don't?
Killing the stranger would make you regret killing him for your entire life
and not killing would make your regret not killing him.
Its a very hard choice and you shouldn't expect anyone to sacrifice another person who has family maybe children just to see his loved ones.
I would definitely hesitate a lot if the stranger has a child or maybe even not kill him at all
If someone was an immediate and imminent threat to someone I cared about, I wouldn't even have to think about it - I'd do whatever was necessary to save the person I loved. And the law would be on my side.

the law would?
[QUOTE=Matrix374;34074489]the law would?[/QUOTE]
Sure. The use of deadly force is justified as a response to a percieved, imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death.
If the person is a mortal threat , yes. If it's some random guy , no.
If I had to kill someone or else the loved one would be killed , I would.

And the law would be on my side.[/QUOTE] This isn't about defending the loved one, it's about killing an unrelated person in exchange for getting your loved one back from the void of Hypotheticalia. For me it would depend on what I believe the loved one would want, if they're the kind of person who would rather die than be in a situation where someone has to kill for them then I probably wouldn't do it
If it was my family, yes. If it was a friend or girlfriend, no. Simple as that.
If placed in a situation involving inocent people, like kill an inocent loving mother to save your little sister I would ask if my life was a fair exchange because living knowing I killed a inocent person would be shittiest thing ever.
I cant judge or say whos life is worth the most, we are only owners of our own life.
It really depends as to which part of me reacts first:
Either the moral side (Either no, or hesitant) or my cooler, more calculating side which would kill. The latter would not even consider it. However, I know that it would be awful afterwards either way. In fact, the confirmed knowledge that I would be able to kill in cold blood would be horrible. This is assuming that the person is not holding a gun to the loved one, in which case I would kill. Also, I would be more likely to kill someone who is not holding a gun to said loved ones head but is associated with the kidnapper.
Another point I would like to make is that most people would kill for their girlfriend, and at least one person said that they would kill for said girlfriend but not family. Surely family is more permanent than a girlfriend? Wife I would see as justifiable (at least assuming that it is permanent). However, to kill for someone you may quite easily break up with (and if it is an innocent person go to prison for life) seems questionable. Or I am simply missing something.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;33690823]Nope, I don't see how one life is more valuable than another. I would just hope that family member could be saved without killing someone.[/QUOTE]
What if it was like, your son or your daughter or someone like that?

Do you have emotions? :(
Yes. If it was someone I loved, I wouldn't want to deal with the emotional stress of knowing I could've kept them living (had I chosen not to save them).
Of Course i would, I'd pump that bastard with Lead, he would see no mercy.
