If murder was legal? Would you?

Recommended Posts

Good question. Not sure of the answer.

Since you weren't bound by legality what would govern the choice to do such?

I am glad it isn't, because while I think that I wouldn't except for maybe an individual that is known to have abused and tormented a loved one without consequence, I am sure others would be far less restrained.

I will happily hijack this into a pet peeve thread...

...I would murder people who put their bags sideways into overhead bins when they fit wheels-first.



I would murder people who put the bags in wheels-first instead of wheels last.

Edit: I believe observing people loading bags into overhead storage is the NUMBER ONE lesson anyone can take in seeing just how oblivious people are to the entire world around them and to how things work even in very simple scenarios. It's a clear indication that more than half of the population is well below a 100 IQ (despite the definition).

I'd go for just being able to legally slam on your brakes in front of someone going slow in the left lane because it's safer for them while they text or talk on the phone

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Most bags don't have a handle on the bottom of the bag though, so if it fits wheels first this makes taking the bag out faster when disembarking. But wheels-out, wheels-in, whatever... just not sideways.

Agreed, I find it to go beyond a pet peeve and consider it a more fundamental failure of a personality / intellegence test... hence the aforementioned murdering.

bag fits better - goes in deeper in the bin, especially in two row storage bins - screw the handle thing. Passsenger saving that handle are the ones that have the bag sticking out and thinking if they slam that door just a little harder, maybe this time the door will shut

sideways? yeah, there's really no hope to even try to start explaining to them. they are either oblivious, stupid, selfish, lazy or any combo of all those.


maybe passengers should be required to play a little Tetris before getting onboard



I once saw a business guy take off his suit coat, lay it neatly in the empty bin, then shut the bin door. (Guess which bin my bag was roughly shoved into just after that demonstration?) go ahead, guess.

Legal does not equate to moral. I am disturbed by the fact that 43% of the respondents (when I looked) voted YES. How thin the veneer of a civilized society must be that this is the case.


I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

"Children would behave very differently" if murder was legal. :D OK, that's just wrong.

I probably wouldn't be alive if murder was legal.

And the roads . . . Driving seems to bring out the worst in most people, so I imagine that cars would be equipped with all sorts of weaponry. It would be impossible to go anywhere because there would be dead people and destroyed cars all over the roadways.

I was assessed with a genius IQ in fourth grade. After that, I was in gifted classes. I learned forensics as a police officer and college student majoring in criminal science. I learned surveillance and reconnaissance, planning, and analysis as an Army officer. I learned rules of evidence as a lawyer. I have extensive experience in armed and unarmed combat.

Idiots get away with murder every day.

What makes you think it has to be legal for me to get away with it?
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

I have no doubt that some folks are still alive because there is a law against murder.

Like you never had desire or thought about killing someone.

Fuck moral, I never killed another due to the price that I'll have to pay. If it was like a misdemeanor like a traffic ticket, I'll gladly pay couple hundred bucks and stab someone right in their mouth without hesitation.

However, since the law was there to prevent murder, that probably stopped others from killing me as well.

And in most cases where there is the death penalty, that deterrent works too.
