What are your opinions on it? Outside of self defense, is it ever justified?

The powers of the world have been doing it forever under the cover of one BS reason or the other. Population control? Who knows. The very food that we eat is poisonous (in America, it's called overfed, and undernourished ha ha). Soldiers are payed to kill. Deadly viruses and new strains of those viruses pop up without warning (who's behind it? LOL). Unprotected sex is like playing Russian Roulette, why kill? If you are fortunate enough to live in a country filled with dirty Politicians, and no way to eat because they greedily hoard all of the resources, and charge a kings ransom to people for their minimal needs to live, situations often end in senseless violence. If you don't work you should not eat right? What f@ck@ng work is there out there, no one is hiring is often the case. We call them terror mongers because of half truths the media feeds us, they may call themselves survivors.

Little children sold into prostitution or slavery by their very parents is commonplace in many countries. Drugs, weapons, liquor stores, and gangs on every other corner in ghettos is another way to funnel the less informed unto a one way street that leads to their own demise. Pick a f@c@ing door. Who needs Tonto to pump 14 in your head, when gunrunners are supplying bullied children with the means to execute their fellow classmates, while the cops are busting college students for Pot.

Religion is used as mass weapons of destruction, because if you can get a million morons behind your skewed cause, who will/can ever stop you? As for your question. Murder is never justified even if you are defending yourself, or someone else. Would this stop me from killing someone trying to kill me and my family? No.

You were attacked with what you legitimately saw as a threat to your life, you killed him/her/it to prevent your own serious injury or death.

Damborgson
Also, is being proactive about killing, worse than reactive? Like if you know a sexual predator is going to ruin another person's existence, or if you know a killer will strike again once he's cleared, would it be wrong to stop them from doing it?

Morally wrong, depends in your morals. Legally wrong, probably.

I mean, it's illegal but in order for me to win some fights I'd have to cause permanent injuries with "lethal intent" because I'm not that big or good at MMA at this point in my life. I'd have to result to innovative dirty fighting which works wonders if you can be tactical by maintaining control over the fight or flight response.

Hell they might be able to go completely limp as a survival mechanism in a fight, and the second you turn away they're going to pop up and sucker punch you in that nerve in your jaw - shutting your brain down and putting you to sleep.

Instead of a fight like this you get an assault like this.

Absolute strength is due to an imbalanced level of of fight response hormones. If the hormones aren't there to override your "don't do that it's too much" instinct which literally everyone has all the time, even MMA fighters during their most brutal fights.

Here's another example; meth increasing metabolism and activity levels to the point in which this person was hysterical and therefore able to fight harder and longer.

Hit the wrong person in the face, someone's who was repeatedly beat as a child or a non-neurotypical like myself, and they might just come back with absolute retaliation immediately and I don't care how much bigger you are or better at boxing you are, he might be able to knock you on your ass because you're just not as excited as him at that moment and you might not be quick enough to defend yourself like you should be able to.

It's called physiology.

Pick the most one-sided fight of any two individuals with no birth-defects or debilitating illnesses (anorexia, obesity, Huntington's, narcolepsy) who're around the same age, and let the person who's likely to lose be in the right frame of mind and he can take out just about anybody.

good shit/bad shit are obviously subjective but i'm not bothered cause so is the taboo against killing.

think about killing some shitty dictator who is trying to mix things up hitler/napoleon style. maybe attacking his troops and killing his civilians can seem like self defense in some vague way when passed though a filter of nationalistic and political brainwashing, but in many cases it's more like preventative planning. those people aren't putting you in the position where your life is in imminent danger and thus you can't claim self defense. yet the fact remains that in some cases more good than bad can come from putting them down.

riv6672
Okay.

Did I say scientific literacy shouldn't be practiced? It's natural, and the knowledge of one generation builds off of the prior generation automatically.

I never said be ignorant, I said live every day like it's your last get dope, have fun, and commit sins of the flesh everyday. It's not only natural, it's healthy as **** and it happens in today's society anyway. How would a lack of oppression and governmental, authoritarian enforced hammering of the modern man and woman make it any worse?

Oneness
In fact, as far as I can tell, there's no reason school should be any more mandatory than college, and there's no reason education should cost a dime either.

Oneness
The only thing modern economics, banks, and governmental agencies breed are hatred, repression of expression, and wealth disparity.

I don't blame certain murders on the accused, given the circumstances in which they were committed.

You can only ask a broken soul to tolerate a government-established life worse than death for so long.

In this thread you've come down on the side of the law as the measuring stick for killing, and thats fine.
You keep asking we who think there are times where killing outside the law is an option to explain ourselves.
I'm asking you to explain YOURself.
If you cant, then you're just regurgitating things you've been taught.
A parrot can do that.
I want to know what you THINK about the different viewpoints here.
Dont just ask for explanations, explain to us why WE'RE wrong.

Killing is never justified. Only necessary sometimes. For something to be labeled "justified" it carries the connotations that it was morally upstanding and righteous. Yet I would declare that the very notion of depriving a man or woman of their life is a morally laudable act is in of itself morally bankrupt. Killing another man or woman might sometimes be necessary, be it for self-defense or any other reason, but to consider yourself "good" for the act of killing itself is a destructive train of thought. Death is a grim matter, and should be treated as such.

riv6672
Nicely put, though i disagree on it never being justified, thats just personal opinion.
Still, nicely put.

Death is a grim matter, and should be treated as such. i don't understand this. how can it be necessary but not justified. what makes it necessary? some good/sound reason for the action. so how does that reason not also make it justified?

riv6672
I cant speak for NameNro, but what i got from his post is something like, i might find it necessary to kill someone i personally thought deserved it (pick your poison: serial killer, rapist, child molester, etc etc), for any of several reasons.
While i may personally feel justified in doing so, in the eyes of the law i most likely wouldnt be.

Edit:
Then you have kind of the reverse.
As a Soldier, i had to kill multiple times.
To some peacenicks out there, i wasnt justified in doing so, even though i had the full backing of the government, because all life is sacred or some such philosophical belief.

NemeBro

Because those words are not synonymous.

"Necessary" just means that on some level, it "had" to be done. So, you had to kill the man who had a knife to your daughter's throat or else your daughter would die. Or, depending on what you think of capital punishment, it might be necessary to put serial killers to death because they pose a certain threat to society.

"Justified" means that it was a morally good and righteous deed. "I'm a good person because I shot that man in the head".

1.
having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason.

But even with the definition you gave it, shooting the man holding the knife to your daughters throat would make you a better person than not doing it in my opinion.

plus, it is meaningless to say you're a good person for any individual act. saying an act is justified doesn't raise the prestige of the actor. someone could be a sociopath who does all sorts of wrong shit and still do something else that is perfectly justified.

Even under the ****** Google definition you used, "good", under similar ****** Google definitions, means "to be desired or approved of."

Why do you desire death?

Your opinion is wrong. thumb up

It makes sense that to be a "moral" person, whatever that means, one must take largely "moral" actions right? So the more moral actions you take, the better your moral standing.

Of course morality is a human construct and arguably arbitrary but for the purposes of discussion (And because the topic of the thread is based on whether or not killing is "justified"wink let's pretend it is a definite construct.

That "sociopath" who does all sorts of wrong shit but has the occasional standard (Doesn't harm children, w/e) is going to be a more "moral" person than one who would kill the shit out of that kid and laugh about it. If only relatively. Get it?

Lol? Google > you. And one doesn't interfere with the other.

Because an assailant is threatening my daughter? Wanting to end the life of someone who wants to end my daughter's is an easily justifiable cause.

I have never been wrong since birth. You're obviously retarded thumb up

Morals are subjective and depending on the situation, can do more harm than good. If moral goodness prevents you from harming the attacker harming your daughter, then that makes you a piece of shit. If you shoot the man even if it doesn't give you pleasure, you've put aside your personal problems with it and focused yourself to the well being of your child. How is this not good/justifiable?

If only relatively. Get it? i can accept that. but then by the same standard, if a killing is necessary than doing it necessarily makes you a slightly better person than not doing it. because for it to be necessary you have to have good reasons to do it and it has to be the right thing to do in that situation. so to not do it would be to do the wrong thing. thus killing makes you a better person.
