In Topic: Killing someone in self defence.

Humm... Well, being the question "Is killing in selfdefense right or not?", the answer is impossible. Why? Because of the reasons. If someone came and killed another person because some third party got his family as hostage, it wouldn't "seem" as bad as someone who just goes and kills for the heck of it. I actually didn't read all of the post (So if someone did read it, could you post a summary of it?), but I read some guys talking about what would be right to do.Well, one answer is that from the start, us knowing that it's possible that someone might just come and kill us, the "right" thing would be to be prepared not to kill. How? Well, there are ways (Martial arts, stun guns, preaching about the ideology that not killing is good so the situation doesn't arrives) and the fact that we aren't doing any of them would makes us fully guilty of killing conscious and knowledgeably, even in selfdefense.Well, I did gave one answer. But it's not the only one, of course. The fact that we as humans have emotions makes us too vulnerable to changes of morality that happens every often (Like, long ago it was perfectly moral that girls got pregnant at the low 1x years, just an example). Well, that is without entering the area of religion (the thing about preaching could be considered kind of religion, but since a god wasn't bringed up and only the expansion of an ideology was mentioned, and that can be a not religion too), because that would depend on the teachings of each.
