I dont think the idea is affronting at all it just seems untenable without some pretty drastic measures
Im sorry if I came off as harsh but with such sharp rhetoric and rebuttal it felt like the only way to do what youve managed was through some sort of force. I firmly believe that every situation should be looked at through every available perspective and your friend wasnt exactly forthcoming with his
And to answer your question I think that its a loaded one. I could easily say Id never kill another person unless my life were in danger but I think you and I are smart enough to know that any admission of being willing to take another life is a sliding scale. It starts with 'self defense' and then it expands to 'my loved ones were in danger.'
Before we know it people will murder for king and country or whatever god they believe in that day.
Ill answer your question though. I have killed a man. I was framed for the murder of another and I was on the run. He was ordered to bring me in dead or alive and he chose 'dead.' Believe me when I say that Im not proud of what I did but I dont regret it if it means I can stop others from being killed
