I'm sure nobody here knows what it really means to actually end a life and what it will do to you. And it's better that way.
wow, what is it like? (the way you wrote makes me think you have done it, maybe i'm wrong!)
some people value all life of animals similarly, value their dogs lives over strangers, if many people can slaughter a pig for food similarly many people will kill someone for doing wrong.
it depends where, culture etc.

some people could never do something like shoplift, the guilt is too much. other people just don't care and do it without thinking. i'm certain people are out there who are like that for killing, even more so when they or their loved ones are in danger.
i'd kill an ant if it is biting me.
i'd kill a mouse, dog, etc biting me.
i'd shoot a horse coming to trample me, and i wouldn't get upset.
same with a guy trying to kill me. it would just be traumatic and scary, i don't think so much my actions, only theirs.

I value the lives of me cats over any human.

in some places and situations they can try and sue you if they are still alive after the incident, if they are dead (and you killed them legally) this is not going to happen :)

I'd rather be prosecuted for assault than deal with ending a life.

Sorry, I wrote that one a bit to emotional.

I did not experience it myself. But I've talked to someone who did take a life. His eyes had this strange look, there was guilt literally written all over his face. Shaking hands, speaking to himself in strange ways - things you only would see in movies. I think fear had taken over completely. Fear of what had become of him, with the incident happened several years ago. If I compare that to the way people described him from before this, it was to me as if they talked about another person. And it scared the shit out of me, making me never forget what killing another human being means.

But what I wanna say is: Ending an life, whatever the circumstances, changes you. And not for the better, I'm certain of that.

I wish everyone can live a life without this burden. There is a 5th bid for a reason.
 
No, I get what it must mean, but what are the other 4 "bids"?
Don't shock me here. You sure know them. The word I was searching for was "commandments", sorry for the confusion.

  1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
  2. You shall not make idols.
  3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
  4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
  5. Honor your father and your mother.
  6. You shall not murder.
  7. You shall not commit adultery.
  8. You shall not steal.
  9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  10. You shall not covet.

Well.. actually the order does not matter. As you see, murder is the 6th on this list.

Dear fuck no. It might help someone, somewhere (it is why the response evolved) but most of any martial/self defence/police/military style training is designed to get you to react properly. People panicky/twitchy and desperate are horrifically dangerous for all the wrong reasons.
My father is policeman, sooo... he tought me some stuff :yay:
 
yeah but in reality (depending where you are at least) - they can try and sue you because you made them disabled, which is a ridiculous but things like that have happened :(
so it's best just to nip them in the bud
Yeah, that's what I was implying in that post. Didn't know they could sue you.....

Oh, COMMANDMENTS. Sorry, I haven't ever heard of them referred to as anything other than that :P
