[voice] a not so small inquiry

[cyberphiliac]

...From my observations, the residents of this world seem to have many different opinions on this matter, so I would like to pose a question to those who see this message

Sometimes you have to kill to survive. What the hell does morality have to do with it?

[Even if he has only a vague understanding of morality to begin with. Heat is a militaristic killing machine, after all.]

[cyberphiliac]

[join the vague understanding club.]

Many people seem to consider it important. I'm not entirely sure of the reasoning myself, which is why I asked the question.

[fevoreish]

Whatever.

[cyberphiliac]

...What if it isn't necessary for survival?

[highlvlfakeout]

Taking a life of a fellow human life never sat well with me.

[cyberphiliac]

Why?

[highlvlfakeout]

There's always those repurcussions for your actions. What if they had a family? What if their friends want to kill you for revenge? It's all too much of a weight on one's shoulders.

[cyberphiliac]

If their friends attack you in revenge, you could simply kill them as well. Though it would be potentially troublesome, yes.

[cyberphiliac]

...Orders from whom?

[cyberphiliac]

So the moral concerns are overruled if you're being paid for it?

[timeticksaway]

...I think it's wrong, no matter what, honestly.

[cyberphiliac]

And why is that?

[timeticksaway]

[ good question ]

Because everyone has the right to live, I suppose.

[cyberphiliac]

Does that make it acceptable to kill animals, then?

[katona_sziv]

It's never nice...and it's much more painful than people could imagine.

[cyberphiliac]

What do you mean?

[katona_sziv]

Well, how do I explain it?

Umm...for example the War of Austrian Succession. Even though we were fighting over land, all the warriors that lent their lives to the cause greatly affected our bodies.

[cyberphiliac]

So does that mean when the war wrong?
