What is your "kill criteria?"

It may be a productive and interesting thought experiment to list the conditions in which you would be willing to kill someone.  We might be able to find out a little about ourselves, in so doing.

I'll start:

The clearest situations I would likely exhibit hesitation in killing a person would be when protecting my family and myself.  That is my primary loyalty.  It wouldn't have to be an action requiring emotional impetus to bring me to do it.  No matter how I felt about the situation, danger of this kind is both sensible and obvious to me that I would willingly kill someone.  What about a hostage situation where it were to make threats of my family, but certainty of their death still hangs in a balance?  That might be harder for me to navigate.  It would always be in the back of my mind that regardless of my compliance the danger may still kill them.  If I was completely certain that the outcome would result in the loved one(s) death, then I wouldn't comply.  I would say sorry to them and immediately set out to eliminate or punish the offender.  This situation is as simple as that, in my mind.

I know I am not motivated by greed or lust to the degree where it would ever lead me to kill.  That seems drastic and deranged.  I am not sadistic enough to do it for amusement or curiousity.  Beyond the reasons I have already given, I don't think I'd kill ever.

What about you?

 Let me add another variable and ask:  What are acceptable ways for you to kill?  Any personal rules regarding whom is eligible even to consider?  Such as, children or the elderly or something.

by Tom

 I don’t think I’d ever kill for my family…we don’t have that kind of relationship. I’d kill for me though, and to be honest I think I’d kill if I was hired. Or if a person (could be random) asked me to help them in one way or another…though with a random person I’d have to be convinced to help. Like my friends joke about if they ever needed a hide a body or something that they’d ask me….and they laugh about it but little do they know that I would actually help them. 

I agree with that.  I might actually help a friend do it, without questions. Kind of ironic, since I wouldn't do it willy-nilly for myself. Maybe it's the audience?  A sense of loyalty?  I'm a bastard in many ways; but I am loyal to a very select few.  Moreso friends than family.  The only family members I give a shit about are also friends.

Some say that blood is thicker than water; but maple syrup is thicker than blood... and that means pancakes before family.

There's always Dexter-style haha.  I'd prefer something that, by the very process, leaves little to no evidence.  Maybe a car accident that results in a fire.  Or dumping someone over the side of a cruise ship in international waters (that happens more than you realize).

Outside of self-defense, I think the number one thing that could drive me to it is an utter loss of control.  Say I got framed for something, and was facing life in prison anyway if they found me - I've always said, "if you're going to get blamed for it, you may as well do it and enjoy yourself in the process."  Basically, if I'm all out of options, and have nothing to lose...  well, fuck it - I'm taking them down with me.

If this were the "wild west" it may be different.  You'd be more likely to get away with it.  I could see myself getting driven to that point fairly easily, with the consequences not quite as high.  I view life imprisonment as a much worse outcome than death itself - that's essentially death by boredom.  My god, kill me now.

 I have a friend like that. He used to joke about it, but these days he says it with a straight face and means it.

I'd keep that friend around. The unstable ones are most intriguing…but you either have to match hs seriousness or surpass is.

Answer the question, punk. Who were you before being Tom. Were you always Tom? Were you?
