Would you kill someone for $1000000 and never be caught?

Without any information about the target; probably not.

Maybe if I knew a little about why they were marked for death and what they'd done - and it was a valid reason, I probably would.

I would tend to agree - it would be an exceedingly difficult task to achieve world peace. I'd prefer not to say impossible, but for practical purposes, it might as well be. The chances of getting billions of people to cooperate with each other and shed their animal impulses are about as likely as getting Jack Thompson to claim GTA 3 is the most beneficial entertainment product in the history of society.

Maybe your society doesn't let children starve in the streets, mine does.

I sympathize... but that wouldn't make it right to wreck other peoples' lives for luxury. If you condone that behavior, then you might as well condone letting children starve in the streets, too. That's what would happen to animals who lose their parents, after all.

No, I'm only condoning wrecking one person's life for my own luxury. Anyone else doing it is simply egotistical and wrong.

...Wishful thinking that more or less coincides with Pianist's latest post before this one.

The money isn't going to secure their future, Omni. You know that. It will run out sooner than later. It is THEIR capacity to cope with your loss that will secure their future. It surprises me that people here would consider risking other peoples' well-being to ensure their own comfort. What if the person that died was MY mother or father? What if it was me?

[QUOTE="mig_killer2"]what if that life you took was the single parent of 5 children?

how can anyone be this selfish. after 2.9 million years of evolution, people like you still reign supreme over this earth.

Then you have no business in complaining about children starving in the streets. Good luck to you. Incidentally, few people are hermits. When you kill someone, you usually aren't just wrecking his or her life.

what if it was a person working on a an injection to stop death?

This is absolutely true. And it is precisely because I know I would be inflicting a world of hurt on other people to enrich myself that I could not do this. I guess in the end, it boils down to this - I can not accept murdering someone to protect against something that MIGHT happen in the future. I'm making the future against which I am protecting a reality for somebody else. If I want to protect my family from my death, I'll pay for life insurance. If doing so requires me to give up some luxuries (including the luxury of free time so that I can work to earn enough to pay for the insurance), that's what I'll do.

Knowing that I would be doing to some other family what I would never want done to mine is why I have an immediate and instinctive reaction to deny my selfish desire to have a lot of easy, free money.

I can complain for society having more people like me than there should be.

Indeed. In that situation, I'm sure you would pick the person you knew (assuming it's someone you love). I would, too. Or I'd shoot the guy who was asking me to do it, assuming he was alone.:P

nope.

now i'm not a very religious person, but i do believe in hell and i believe that UNWARRANTED murdered will send you there. There's A LOT i would do for a mill...and i mean A LOT lol, but not the murder of an innocent person.

I like to think that I'm somewhere in the middle of thinking about the solution and not applying it to solve the problem.
