If you had to kill somebody

    And somehow you were given this choice, which option would you take. Think about it for a second before you answer.

    10 years in prison, but during those 10 years you are completely free from any feelings of guilt or regret

    Or

    No prison but for the next 10 years you feeling the most terrible guilt

    This is obviously a completely hypothetical question, so don't reply saying I wouldn't kill somebody, or I couldn't possibly not feel guilty.

    Since when is guilt worse than incarceration?
    If it wasnt for the law and the fear of incarceration,i would've killed dozens of people by now.
    I could live with the guilt just fine.

    Just to throw a spanner in your works if i decided i had to kill someone then no, i wouldn't feel guilty. I would have a damn fine reason for killing them. :pac:

    To answer properly, i'd go the jail time.

    Remorse is a bitch.

    Guilt is only important if its going to affect future killings!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    Guilt and remorse are for pansies. I'd kill anyone who looks cock-eyed at me, no hesitation...

    Prison rules man, walk into the ****ing mess and just start stabbing, i mean everyone within arms reach.

    Stab!!!!!

    Stabbing solves everything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Can i kill a few and still only get 10 years?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    I'd only feel guilty if i poisoned you by accident.

    The last eleven people i poisoned said they really enjoyed their meal before they died in excruiating pain, so that makes me all warm inside :D

    Guilt is for people that give a sh1t.

    And buggering..dont forget the buggering!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    I'd rather be free and feel guilty now and then then live in prison... No choice there really.

    Besides if you killed someone in cold blood, you'd deserve to feel guilty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    I'm crap with guilt. Would have to do the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    I choose freedom with guilt for ten years. In any event I could go to a place of worship and asked for my soul to be cleansed.

    Actually you have a point.If you go to confession the priest should absolve you of any sin even if it included mur-diddely-urder.

    I'd kill the person who was forcing me to kill somebody.

    Killing is one of the great natural instincts,like cooking,buggering and stealing.

    That would not rid you of guilt, it would just make you feel better about your non existent soul

    Care to elaborate?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    Care to elaborate?

    Man has killed since the dawn of time, they have slaughtered them selves and animals for Millions of years, right back to our earliest ancestors.

    Its only in the last thousand years or so that civiliation has curbed that somewhat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,789 ✭✭✭Caoimhín


    Who would I kill you ask?

    Mmmmm...

    Well for a start, cnuts who dont indicate at roundabouts, and cnuts who call them roindaboits.

    +1 to stabbing and buggery.

    Thats what I thought the topic was going to be.....then it turned out to be less interesting.

    Answers would have been Katie French and Jade Goody....looks like someone is getting there before me.

    Man hasn't been around since the dawn of time, just to be pedantic. Moral standards are culturally relative, there have been many civilisations which had different standards to ours regarding killing other people, and many which had similar standards to todays. The point is moot anyway as the fact is that I am talking about this society in the question, where the fact is that there are very clear standards on this matter.

    Less interesting for you perhaps, but I made the thread because it was of interest to me. I don't care what interests you

    isn't more like 7 years that you would get ?

    best thing to do is run them down with a car then have a stiff drink , back in the streets far quicker

    if you are worried about taking a life you could always donate a some cash to a charity to save a life in africa , won't cost too muc
