I'd do it as a course of least regret, but I hope such an opportunity never arises. Like, I just found out the other day that one of my close friends that I knew from playing Starcraft died a little over two years ago. I took that pretty hard; I can't imagine being the one to actually cause death to someone else. :c --- Islam is Chaos Control. <cite>LinkFanatic posted [p:948739143] in Would you ...

Vicious_Dios 12/25/20 9:46:23 AM #56:	greatmonkeybaby posted... No sympathy for the bad guy type thing? Not that, but the desire for self-preservation takes-over any emotion. I'd be sorry that it had to come down to it, but not sorry for doing what I had to do, especially if anyone from my family were immediately in danger. I'll deal with the aftermath later, but at least I'll be alive. --- S / K / Y / N / E Twitch/YouTube/GT: *Adzeta* <cite>Vicious_Dios posted [p:948739961] in Would you ...

OnlyTheTruth 12/25/20 9:58:53 AM #58:	It depends on your perspective of the victim you just killed. For example if you say had to defend your life against some young beautiful happy looking girl vs some vagrant looking half dead looking 85+ year old man without teeth who looked like he was seeking death on purpose. One of those will clearly bother you way more. <cite>OnlyTheTruth posted [p:948740182] in Would you ... [t:79198239]...</cite> <quote>It depends on your perspective of the victim you just killed.
