[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

I've seen many murder cases, but taking away life always seems like a waste. Because they're my food

But of course, morality just varies from person to person.

[cyberphiliac]

It does vary, but there seems to be a consensus among most that killing is wrong.

[puzzlebird]

Humans more often times have a thing called conscience. And when they kill - the guilt of doing so crushes their mind.

Bit sad yet tough reality.

[cyberphiliac]

But there are many who do not feel guilt.

[usas_aurora]

I do not believe in needless killing.

[cyberphiliac]

Why not? And how do you define "needless"?

[usas_aurora]

Death should have as much meaning as life. To kill, and to die needlessly cheapens life. To kill for a reason is not needless, but to kill for the sake of killing is.

[cyberphiliac]

But the person would eventually die even if they were not killed.

[smallforesight]

I don't think you should kill someone unless you're protecting yourself or your family.

[cyberphiliac]

And why not?

[smallforesight]

Because everyone has a right to live. Having it taken away from you... Well it should be your choice.

[cyberphiliac]

Most people do not have a choice in how they die, even if they are not killed by someone else. Even those who die of old age do not choose to do so.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with taking a human life!!! [laughs] In fact, it's in my job description~!

[cyberphiliac]

...What is your job, then?

[chainsawofdeath]

I'm a Death God~ ♥

[cyberphiliac]

...Interesting. We do not have those in my world.

[not_bouncing]

No...matter how wrong or how evil one might be, I don't believe in ending one's life....

[cyberphiliac]

And why is that?

[not_bouncing]

Because every life is precious and should be respected.

[cyberphiliac]

...Why?
