This is an interesting question and I'm actually afraid to give my honest response  :lol I'll just leave it at that.

I never want to kill someone.  Beat the fuck out of someone?  Hell yeah.   If the person dies it wouldn't be done on purpose.

So no problem with Manslaughter? ;D

You can't have "manslaughter" without "laughter".

To stop means I must have started and I have never come close to wanting to kill someone.  The only way I could see myself doing so is in self defense and I feel like even then I would try to not kill such a person.

The only way I would intentionally kill someone would be in self defense...If mine or a loved ones life was in danger.

That exception is all it takes. It proves that instinct is inside us. What if it was a child that wasn't related to you? What if you had to step in or watch one die?

You get lost in that moment. Trying not to isn't an option you will have time to consider. You just react until you think the problem has been diffused. How that ends isn't something you can predict.

Because killing is wrong. And bad. Killing is badong.

What an odd thread topic.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

There are few reasons for me. Classic DTF ranking time!

1. Empathy. The thought of personally ending another human's life is just terrible to me. Who am I to take another life?
2. I'm not religious, but on some level, I do believe killing is wrong. Like Adami said, it's like of necessary at times or at least unavoidable, but I'd like to avoid it if at all possible.
3. Any kind of physical trauma kind of grosses me out. If I had to bash someone's head in, I'd probably faint. :lol

I have never once, in any real or practical scenario, had any desire whatsoever to kill a human being. Strong dislike, sure. Wanting to punch someone in the face, sure. But that's it.
