Moral or not, if a person, no matter who, is going to jeapardize the future of my family and my world, then they have to be dusted. I am sick and tired of the world governments implementing the mentallity that ..yes some will die for the benefit of the many. We have lost countless generations of good people because of this bullshit. The question here, to me anyway, is not a moral one, its have you got the guts and knowledge to do it and sacrifice yourself fo the ones you love. Knowing full well that you will be killed or imprisoned. Sometimes, only you will know that you have done the right thing. The one question that needs to be asked here, and it has'nt been, is, have you ever met a truly evil person? Someone you know has killed and has no compassion let alone anything else for others. Family or not. Not many people have, and believe me, you will know when you do. While we try and bury our heads in our latest TV show, or avoid the fact that these people exist in our own backyard, then the average person will never have to deal with this question. We fool ourselves into thinking we are safe, and we arent. No one will look after you or your family better than you. If these people turn up in your world, no.... there is not a price, money does'nt talk... you are going to have to face every dread you have ever avoided, and protect the ones you love at any cost.

I guess I really cannot answer yes or no to this unless I was actually faced with it. I don't believe I could kill anyone, but I have never been put in that situation. I would hope that, if my loved ones were in danger that I would be able to do what HAD to be done.

Yeah I agree if someone was threatening the life of one of my family or someone I loved I do think I could kill them. But to have to decided and plan to kill someone is something I am not sure I could do.

The question asked specified cousin. I am very close to my cousins so I do view myself as redirecting their path to get off this kind of course in the first place which is an option that is possible. If I did not know and was close to the person and they were yet "pure evil" rather than some one that could be redirected per the right influence, then I would admit that I am capable of killing such person if it boiled down to saving many, including my entire family. It's interesting because I have pondered about if I could ever go back in time, and one of the things I thought of was if I had the oppurtunity to go back in time, it would be to go after Hilter. I would shoot that F-bomber up in a new york minute, even though I would know that I would not make it out of there alive when I did it. Actually, I have. I have even met pure evil that hasn't commited a murder but would and some day may for all I know, and they are a diagnosed socio-path.

i realize now that cousin was a bad choice. i wasnt sure what to put: friend, family, neighbor, stranger on the street, town mayor, principle from your elementary school. it all depends on some peoples relationships with these others.

Im taking educational psychology so my brain has been buzzing with what ifs all day. This is one that I saw because of some movie coming out. Lets say that you had some sort of magic premonition that your cousin was going to become the next crazy dictator of the world. And to become this dictator thousands will die. If you knew how to murder this person without getting caught would you? If you didnt know how would you still kill them and go to prison? I am basically asking would you kill one person to save so many others? Its just a thinking exercise and I have some others I want to share but I thought I would start with this one. I know heavy but I thought it was really interesting when I read it. Ill tell everyone what I would do after some other people do. Personally,Id sit back,and let destiny happen,and wait for someone else to do something about it.And if needed,Id kill him after he went into power,not before,just so I know Im correct,But I would definatley get some money out of his dictatorship status before killing him.My Honesty can be harsh?
