Hey, I was just wondering(OT)...

Makedde, TheChief, and any of the myriad other Aussies here-

In the United States, we have a game of chance called "Bingo" in which you match number-letter combinations in boxes on game cards in the hopes of getting some sort of designated winning pattern, at which point you shout "BINGO!"

I was wondering, do you guys in Aussietopia have a similar game, but called "Dingo"?

Hahahahaha very funny. The prize would be a tent and a trip to Alice Springs for a night out with the dingos and Lindy Chamberlain.

what if they've already taken a life? and who constitutes a loved one and who not?

But what gives you the right to decide whether someone lives or dies? Just because someone has taken a life is no excuse for taking their life.

I am not talking about killing in self-defense, but a planned killing.

There are many people that I would love to see take a dirt nap, but I probably wouldn't kill them even if I knew I could get away with it. The main reason is my religious belief. I am not a holy roller. I don't even go to church, but I do believe in God. I believe that I would be punished for my actions since a person's life is not mine to take.

What about you?

Pay me enough, with no comebacks,Im an atheist, so God aint gonna bother me, I would whack you and put you out of your misery for 5000 credits

No. I may get away with it legally, but Karma would definitely bring its own form of justice.

Killing is wrong and even having someone killed in your presence can affect your flow of happiness. Atonement would still be required.

No. I wouldn't kill anyone. For many reasons.
1. I would be morally disgusted with myself. I have enough empathy to know how the family members of the person would feel and it would make me sick. Howwever much someone irritates me I would not wish that pain on their family.
2. I think I'm a bit squeamish about hurting/killing anything, independent of moral concerns.
3. I don't think I get that pissed off at people. Even when I hate people, I just want to stay away from them.

i believe that humanity has the inherent right to murder the murderers of non-murderers in order to protect society's non-murderers. the purpose for murdering the murderers of non-murderers is to protect society from the future potential murder of non-murderers. thus i believe that humanity has not only the right to murder the murderers of non-murderers, but also an obligation. i further believe that the murderers of non-murderers have forsaken their own right to life.

i believe that capital punishment acts as a deterrant for murderers of non-murderers from becoming emboldened to take additional lives thereafter. in other words, if the murderer of a non-murderer is not murdered, such a one will typically become more embolded to murder additional non-murderers. capital punishment acts as a protective mechanism to safeguard non-murderers possessing the right to life, while simultaneously executing the murderers of non-murderers who have forsaken/forfeited their right to life.
