Already answered this question in 79.

I was more than ok with killing for money.
And the government currently pays for professional kills in Afghanistan.

The pay could be better though. But at least they provide the guns and the ammo.
While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku.
At least I can go see her in concert.

The moment they start giving out power armour or cyborg bodies to soldiers, I'm right on it.

I'd very much like a career in the military had it not been for all the stress, but with a cyborg body, that would probably not be as much of a problem.

Thanks for the warning, I'll have my claymores and IED's prepared.

Remember the writing on the claymore means something. "Front towards enemy" means you should be facing it ;D

Honestly...it depends on how much money and who it is. The person does matter, if I'm going to kill someone, it would probably be much harder to actually make it look like an accedent than it would be to frame some one. So, I'd need to make sure this person has some one that hates him or has motive to kill him. Then, I'd work my way from there. Has to be out of state, less chance of leading back to me. I wouldn't use a gun, too loud and too messy. Then I'd have to get evidence leading to the person I'm framing.

So, in the end, I'd say, with all the work I'd have to do, no. I'm lazy and no ammount of money is worth me doing all that work.

We all like to act a little badass in the cyber world, I mean, that's what it's for, right? If you're really capable of killing, you'd have done that by now. So each and everyone of you who said yes -but have yet to kill- are all gas headed suckers.

My answer to the question: no, I wouldn't.

^The circumstances are different. Everyone wants to rid the world of criminals and rapists. But none really think of shooting the next man with big muscles walking down the street, you know?

The original question simply asked if we'd be willing to kill someone -anyone- for money. A rapist, a criminal, or the consequences after killing are not mentioned in the question.

Saying that just because you are capable of doing it that means you'd have done it by now is stupid..That line of thinking could be applied to so many other scenarios to prove you wrong its almost funny... You have no grounds to spout off how everyones mind works

I would probably at least think twice about it. But there needs to be a guarantee that (1) I'll get a noteworthy amount of money, (2) the person I have to kill has done things or belongs to a group of people I do despise, (3) I will never get any punishment from our society or personal revenge from a relative. At best no one will even know that I did murder that person so that I can continue my life pretty much I used to, but of course with less worries about my finances.

But, in the end, it would be still questionable if I could do something like that. I've never killed a person and I can't remember when I seriously did hurt (or at least tried to hurt) someone. However, basically it's a common thing to kill each other in this world, there is pretty much only our society, it's laws and many religious influences preventing us to run amok. And a single life isn't worth much. Just look how many people starve in poor countries, who cares about them besides their relatives? Who cares about people committing suicide? What about people who died in the harsh conditions of the industrial revolution? Did anyone ever think about the natives Columbus did massacre? No - the world gives a damn about who kills who, only history marks some of them, we keep forgetting about these people as long as they aren't very important to our society. We do like to think high of ourselves, but the world won't cry much if we disappear all of a sudden.

Serial killers, rapists, extortionists, etc. are people that are on the hate list, but they don't deserve to die, and basically no one does. The money would be blood money.
So no, I would kill for money because I think it's wrong, I would be equally guilty as the victim I killed if they were some criminal, and I wouldn't be able to live without feeling sinful and guilty for the rest of my life.

Obviously depending on certain life threatening situations, I would have to reconsider.

Pretty much anyone is capable of killing, becoming a torturer or taking part in genocide for that matter. People can say "I would never do that" all they want, it does not matter, they would still end up doing it given the right circumstances.
The only "capability" one needs to kill is the capability to pull the trigger, flip the switch, strike with the blade and o on.
When it comes to killing for money as well, anyone could do that if the circumstance were the right one.

I also am puzzled by the way many say they would only kill people that "deserve" it. No one deserves anything really, death or life, that much should be obvious.

That's what I meant when I said the circumstances are different. The question asked by the thread maker was rather vague. That means that all our responses relied heavily on how we interpreted the question and the direction our thoughts took.

To kill, just being physically capable isn't all. One must be emotionally capable of pulling the trigger, flipping the switch, striking with the blade or whatever. This is where guilt and self righteousness comes in.

Yes, but these other factors are not something people either have or haven't, they can be fostered or suddenly appear due to some situation, that's how I was thinking.

Only if the person really deserved it and there was a lot of money involved. Also depends on how "direct" the death is, in other words if I'm just pushing a button or if I'm handed a swiss army knife and expected to mutilate the shit out of him. Bin Laden for $1mil by pushing a button? yes plez.

Other than that, I can't see my mind being able to handle killing a person.

My opinion on this has always been a little different; You are certainly correct that killing requires a mental readiness maybe even moreso than the physical readiness, however people are fickle, simple self centered creatures at the end of the day, and as long as they can determine some means of self justification (ie. I am in the right because ___) then they are already very close to being morally ready to commit murder. All it really requires is convincing you. Most people only base what they think is right or wrong on their specific situation, which is why there's no true overarching set of social rules you just follow.
And personally, I think (not to argue; your opinion is actually pretty valid, to me anyways. The internet offers an anonymity which pretty much destroys all credibility, when push comes to shove) this mindset that everyone on the internet is lying is more dangerous than taking everything seriously would be. Because for every hundred people in forum X who say they are going to kill ____ person(s), at the very least one of them is serious; they are simply abusing the fact that no one can really be credible for their statements on the internet. If we work from the mindset that no one is serious or capable, we overlook a very serious and fathomable possibility that who we're talking to actually WILL do it.
And finally to stay on track; I'd do it, because there's a price for anything (except suicide. because then you can't really collect).

Hmmmm if killing someone meant being able to live the life I want, have my dream job and live in some awesome mansion.......................I would tell myself no but.........

Ok I'm sorta freaked out, I feel like I can't feel anything in me telling me it's wrong.....something must be wrong with me.....

Ah, well, maybe If I was at the point where I was holding the gun up to someone's head, I'd feel it, so I can't really honestly answer for now.

*note*, that "for now" doesn't mean I'm planning on doing something like that lol.....
