would you kill someone in self defence, if you knew u were going to die if you didn't do something?

I look at things this way, if I KNOW in my heart that this man or woman will kill me if I don't do something...yes, and without any hesitation.\n\nWhile I am currently single, that same ideal applies to when I do have a wife and children.\n\nLife is God given, as is the right to defend that life. This is the sole reason I've trained in combat arts for so long, not for ego or competition, but for that 'what if' situation....and it's saved my hide before.\n\nTo be honest, I'd most likely maim before killing...even in that situation. I know how to use a knife or my hands more than well enough to disable and/or hospitalize before killing. Though, if I had no other alternatives, then I would kill in self-defense w/ no doubts or second thoughts. \n\nAfter that, then you have to deal w/ judicial judgement in criminal and civil courts...money paid out to lawyers and all that junk...\n\nBut, you're still breathing and that's what's really important.\n\nAlso, as a side note : I would REALLY study the bylaws of your particular state and/or nation before killing.\n\nAs the English fella said above, there are statutes of limitations predetermining what is considered self-defense, and what is simply considered murder.\n\nIf he has no weapons (for example) : I WOULD NOT put a double tap into him from 3+ yards...nor would I intentionally stab him in a lethal spot that has a huge propensity of death by bleed-out or heart/brain damage by arterial axphixiation.\n\nSee, here's the rub...so many folks know what their instincts tell them to do..as is natural. BUT, they don't know that those acts can sometimes work out the wrong way for them.\n\nThere are laws people, study and understand them....don't be like most Americans and ignorant of your world beyond the TV or local pub.\n\nSorry for the public service announcement, if you will, but truth is truth.

I would shoot myself. If I became so detached to where I didn't know what was going on in my country enough for that to be a suprise...I would not consider myself a viable citizen.\n\nIf I knew it was happening, I would do what I had to do.

No because if you are really stupid you can do things that might end up causing you severe harm up to and including death. And it doesn't really matter if anyone else knows or not, you're just as dead.

No, if someone ever back stabs you and you live it , whats makes you so sure you'll live the next stab?Don't give them an extra chance to try to stab deeper, it may be your last.

No. I would refuse, stand my ground, and do everything in my power to stop such a thing.\n\nI would rather die for my rights and property than fight a war that we provoked for this country.

Absolutely. I'd have to do it in different ways though, just to keep the experience fresh. I've never killed someone, and I'm pretty sure this important life-skill will come in handy real soon.

The only reason to kill is if you are in present fear of your life or the life of others. what is going to happen or what has happen does not count.

My honest answer is quite selfish. I think it would be easier for me to kill another person. Then again, I have never had such a terrible challenge and I'm not so willing to find out which option I would choose from experience.

I have beaten the crap out of people. in my youth. and two people are permanently hurt. one,his left  eye looks to the side. the other. well he is deformed. I would  NOT hurt anyone now. for a million dollars, unless in self defense..I have killed two men in self defense. If I could have avoided it I would have. when you hurt someone. some people will regret it. some wont. depends on the individual.

say the person is unconscious and you're still kicking the crap out of them..or if a person is unarmed and you shoot them

If you are shot, you could live.\n   If you are assasinated, you are dead.\n   Getting shot could be an attemped assasination.

If you don't mind getting shot at (and possibly killed), go ahead!

if you took no precautions, but did it to your best ability, you were foolish\n\nif you allowed yourself to fall, than you killed yourself
