Post #321
The amount of care I hold for people I don't know is so low it cannot be measured. I seriously don't give a damn about random strangers.
Since I don't give a damn, and there's no penalties that would be levied, why should I give a shit if dude lives or dies? And the 750K I'd net for doing it(loltax) would buy a plot in Nevada, pay a crew to build a bespoke house, pay for myself and my love to move to said house, buy us a couple of small sports cars and a resto on my truck, pay for my college, and pay for living expenses for about two or three years while we find jobs we genuinely enjoy.
So yeah, in the situation the OP posted, there's no reason for me not to pull the trigger.

How would you feel if you were on the other side of that button?
Edited:
Also you're a monster

I would do it.
I'm a stone cold killa

It depends.
What kind of family does this man have?
Why am I killing him?
Has he ever done anything that would deserve being killed?
-
You don't know, the idea is that it's completely random.
-
Wouldn't matter, would it?
Not really. Just apathetic. Big difference.
-
40k is a lot of money when you live in Pakistan and much of your family is building mud brick houses in the desert.
-
Difference between being apathetic and actually being willing to kill people for dosh.
-
All that money could ever buy me is guilt.
-
Hell no. This thread makes me sick. I imagine most of the people saying they could do it wouldn't really be able to follow through though.
-
get help
-
If all I had to do was blow somebody's brains out and I wouldn't get arrested for it and there was a million quid waiting for me I'd do it in a heartbeat. Probably feel bad afterwards, but oh well.
-
A lot of people here are very dishonest with themselves. C'mon guys, we're a bunch of nerds on facepunch, I doubt so many of you would be able to pull the trigger.
-
I would do it given some circumstances like if I were poor and had a family to support and pretty much the only way to get out of my shit way of life would be this option. Because as it is now and I'm sure pretty much everyone with internet access, I have enough money to live comfortably and I do not need whatever sum I'd get to spend of frivolous crap.
-
It's a ridiculous notion to think that you essentially a hitman who doesn't see their target when they kill them.
Of course I wouldn't do it. You couldn't pay me enough to take the life of another human being for a commodity that can be earned. If you say you would do it, you are either insensitive as hell, or you're such a lazy fuck that you want extra cash so you don't have to work. Either way, I despise the decision to murder someone for cash.
-
I wouldn't kill a complete stranger directly or indirectly because I wouldn't able to live with the guilt and I'm pretty sure most of wouldn't either. Every time I would spend a dollar made in profit from it would be stricken tinge of guilt that would attack my mind. Sooner or later I would mask my own thoughts to make the complete stranger a villain of sorts so that I would justify my means, but in the end it will always attack my mental state.

When you say "Stranger"
Are they a complete stranger, as in: no mutual friends
If so... Yes, yes I would.
-
It says in the thread title so yes. Please explain why also though. Just yes doesn't explain reasoning in a debate.
-
Killing someone you know and a complete stranger is the same thing. It doesn't matter if you know them or not, you're still taking human life. If you'd do that for money, then you're no better than any person who is hired to kill for money.
You have to be as fucked up as the person who would kill someone they know in order for you to kill a stranger. It makes no difference. The only difference is you don't want to kill someone you've got something invested in (your friend). You fucking psychopath.
-
No, there can be difference mentally especially if it is someone horrid like a serial killer. It can ease any pains of taking that person's life and can really make it easier for someone to justify themselves. Nobody said it had to be a friend. Don't insult people either.
-
Killing a murderer makes you a murderer FYI.
-
It depends on how big of a profile is the subject, and why the "employer" wants him dead. I would only do it if the subject is an individual that indulges in unlawful acts. I would only do it if I was allowed to plan the assassination a head of time and from any distance I want.
-
Under no circumstances would I do it. It's like you're putting a price/value on someone's life.
-
Yes it does. Also not killing a murderer makes you not a murderer.
Just making sure you knew this also.
I still wouldn't kill the man even if he was a serial killer. I was just pointing out the mental reasoning for someone wanting to choose their target or if they could justify for themselves it in the end.

I don't even see how this is in the debate section. I mean, it's not even a debate, it's just answering yes/no.
Edited:
btw, no. (I WON, LOL)

Ban up there, not a debate.
Anyways, people say they can live with a kill on their conscience. I'm not sure it's as easy as it sounds. If you remember memories from a bad breakup, or even where you went on vacation, you're damn sure going to remember killing someone no matter who they were. Regardless if you knew them, or if they were a murderer themselves.
The thing is, by the time I actually finish typing, more people probably have died in the world then I would even think to imagine. The weird thing is, people only are bothered if it's someone they "killed" themselves or if it's someone they knew. So people may be going off the whole, "What's one more death."
I kind of guess it's under circumstance. If you placed a family member in front of you, gun in hand and you had to kill them yourself, the choice would be so much harder than to push a button and kill a stranger. In essence though, isn't that just 1 more death added to a statistic? A death of a stranger in the world and a death of a family member is only different because of who knows them. A death is a death, which is why people equate to all lives are worth the same. It's a human life, so only killing some stranger is selfish as fuck because you think it won't have any impact on you just because YOU don't know them.
