What if the result of you killing one person would be that the entire planet would become vegans and stop killing animals?

If that happened, humans would die of malnutrition.

Laser 11-09-2007 12:12 PM

or we would be killed by animals as they get their revenge (and rightly so)

And you people who say you'd honestly not kill one person? How can you be so sure? I can't see many people saying they wouldn't kill the Son of Bin Laden unless they were...a...terrorist.

Max...

No, I wouldn’t. Capital punishment accomplishes very little, and usually leads to much worse consequences, particularly when you make the person into a martyr for an already violent cause.

Only if that person were you, and even then you know the real reason would be for your ignoring the subjunctive mood, heading a determiner phrase with the subjective instead of the possessive form of a pronoun, and using ‘vegan’ as a noun, all in a sentence which is, if I may coin the phrase, a triple conditional.

If that would happen when Max killed someone then I would kill Max in an instant.

And to think I always saw you as an animal lover.

Despite the fact that there would more food overall?

Not immediately. A lot of the food grown for farmed species is not fit for human consumption. Or else inaccessible, in the case of wild commercial species.

It didn’t occur to me to take

as meaning instantly and without altering the world’s various diets, agricultures, or distribution networks. Interestingly, I do seem to have taken ‘the entire planet’ as only refering to humans.

Jack Thompson.
Nuff said.

Nate 11-09-2007 08:50 PM

Nah, if you killed him, he might be replaced by someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

I am an animal lover. Doesn't mean I don't like a good steak. Cows are bred for the sole purpose of providing us food, milk, leather and bones. And as long as they don't become an endangered species, I'm perfectly fine with that.

And BTW, why did I not know Max was a vegan or am I missing something completely?

Stop being so damn creepy

Strike Witch 11-10-2007 03:54 AM

I'd go back in time and kill the Asteroid.

Or Lucy the Missing-link.

Or God.

Whichever I run into, I guess.

Interesting that what is justification for you is justification against for me. :p

It’s not something I’ve gone out of my way to make everyone aware of (which has led to many embarrassing and going‐hungry parties), but pretty much every post I’ve made in OT for the last year has alluded to it somehow. :p

Yeah, stupid egghead dumbarse smartarse know‐nothing know‐it‐alls.

abe is now! 11-10-2007 04:20 AM

Hey, I have an idea: I would kill all the animals men who come to Italy and dirty it with their shit and garbage. And they are bastard, they are shit I hate them, I insult them and I want to kill them, they pollute our beautiful place. Our Italy.

Maybe, but honestly, if someone came up to you and said "Please kill me now, if you don't, all I will do is spend 10 years in perpetual agony, unable to move or see or anything before dying" how could you not kill them, knowing that all that would happen to them afterwards is nothing but suffering and then dying anyway?

Aside from that, I'm sure there are plenty more examples than terrorists. Maybe that wasn't the best example :P

Whilst I do agree with you in principle, it would be rather rude of them to ask that of you. It would be so much more courteous to take care of it themself.

Wil 11-10-2007 07:50 AM

Ah, euthanasia, good call. There I would find myself facing a more genuine ethical challenge, and I would have half a mind to grant that person their wish. But if I were given a gun and permission, I wouldn’t set off and seek these people out to kill them wantonly. :p

Zerox 11-10-2007 10:10 AM

Well, I guess you wouldn't exactly seek them, no, I wouldn't expect that.

Fine then, Nate, if they are completely paralyzed too...

Havoc 11-10-2007 10:11 AM

I'd prolly kill a guy like that before he could finish his sentence :P.

Is it a bad thing that I can imagine an accent to go along with that?

skillyaslig 11-17-2007 12:35 AM

oh, and this utter bitch in my class, I would just love to kill her. Shes such a stuck-up tart and thinks shes all cool and hot, that I just wanna smack her face in. grr...

alf's brother's mate 11-17-2007 01:06 AM

i dont actually want to shoot anyone, as no-one invigorates me to such a standard, but i would punch james reaney & Jake battersby, two people at my school who are constantly on my back, taking the piss and laughing at me because i dont like certain things, such as fairground rides.
Alton towers, for instance.
I am not a lover of rides, and so i did not go on any of the 'big ones' and they are constantly laughing at me, never letting me forget it. They backstab-snigger about me behind my very back and get other people to hate me.

I am actually seriously considering battering both of them, as they are both about 4" 8
and i am around 5" 3. In addition to this i am far stronger than either of them, so i still wonder why they are walking on such thin ice.

So yeah :(

anyone else?

I think I remember him mentioning being a vegan before, or did he say virgin?

Venks 11-18-2007 02:34 AM

If I had a Death Note I would kill people in the same fashion as Kira. Purify the world. It's worth it.

Wil 11-18-2007 04:52 PM

I’m not a vegan. I’ve never even been to Vega.

OANST 11-18-2007 05:26 PM

I'm not a Gideon. I've never even been to Gidea.

I am glad that this has turned to spam because I've hated this thread since the first post.
