(This idea was sort of inspired by Crime and Punishment, which after reading I have decided a new criteria for deciding what is great literature: does it make you have discussions about killing people if you could?)
If you could kill someone (and lets just forget that killing is illegal in most places and is usually considered morally wrong), who would you kill?
I struggled with this question for a while, being that until I read Crime and Punishment, the thought never entered my mind. I don't think I'd ever intentionally go out and just kill someone just for the hell of it... Although when someone really pisses me off I believe fully that I could have the potential to remove them from this existance. If I was ever attacked or someone I cared about was attacked/threatened I would have no restraints about doing them. If you think about it, there's a million good ways to kill people with ordinary house hold objects, which is why it pisses me off so much when you see movies where people get confronted in their own houses and they can't figure out any ways to fight back... Maybe it's because I've seen so many of those movies that I've gotten so good at figuring out what the people should have done to save themselves, but were just not good enough under pressure... Probably someone out there would say that there's a big difference between planning out what you would do if you were ever in one of these situations and actually being in one... And I agree, but it also depends on the person. For me, although it would be terrifying, it would also be a wonderful way to get rid of some pent up stress and rage...
Of course, just for the record, let me go ahead and say that I do not promote killing as a release of stress and pent of rage, ONLY KILL WHEN IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!
I want to answer this, but like, I don't want the FBI or anybody to investigate me or something. lol. Is there any potential for that to happen? If not, I'll respond...lol
I don't think there's that much potential of this happening, this is just hypothesizing, and you don't have to get really specific. Besides, the FBI is already monetering everything about everyone anyway. They keep all our information stored away in secret filed in a giant computer in washington, and they know everything about you, from your favorite breakfast cerial to whether your car will only take super unleaded or something a little more economical. Their eyes are everywhere...
alright, whatever, in the event that killing was neither illegal or immoral, I would probably whack Rush Limbaugh, that Dr. Laura Schlessinger hag, Jerry Springer, Saddam Hussein, Bono, all "players" and "ballers" (not real ballers, but the guys who think they're ballers, but they aren't...), this weirdo guy named Joe who sexually harrasses me at work, most of the people who work at the mall, the guy who honked at me recently, some rappers, whoever spawned the drug addict child abusers who live across the street from me, and those religious zealots who ring my doorbell at strange times of day, approach me at Starbucks, and strategically place fliers about salvation and damnation in any area within fifty feet of me.
WHOOOOOOOOOOO phoenix you and I are just about all thats left. That is some big time whacking I myself would hit saddam and ben. then I must think it over after that to many people to little time.
pheonix-just a tip. If you get Jehovah's witnesses at your door just tell them you are jewish and they'll never bother you again. seriously.
morgan-the secret files kept in a computer by the government is in Virginia, not Washington 🙂
I would have to say that I would kill someone who I did not already know-whther I hated them or not-simply because I wouldn't want the cops to look at me. I'd go to another state-New Jersey most likely-and drive to a small, beat up motel. I'd find the number of the motel and call from a payphone, asking to talk to whoever is in whatever number room-random-and us my powers of feminine persuasion to allow myself in. Cops always look at men first as to who the killers are-a definate advantage.
I'll check back later at to how to committ the crime when I think of it.
Oh and all hypothesizing, remember. No pointing fingers when someone in a New Jersey motel gets decapitated.
People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Why do people stay in relationships that make them miserable? I don't understand it, but I see so many people I know in these kinds of situations, and I think to myself, "jeeze, they could get someone far better!!!". They even talk about breaking up, or e
