Well suppose that a person was trying to kill you with a knife...and you end up stabbing him and he dies...was that wrong?

I would imagine it would depend if you get caught doing it. Isn't that the same as the bear in the woods analogy. If you don't get caught than did you really kill someone?

I think Kristi got angry because of this thread -- and hella justified in my opinion:

Hell yes I'd be angry if someone did that with my product -- wouldn't YOU?

I totally agree. Quite frankly, I say that's one of the biggest mistakes
newcomers make... they don't 'just do it', they ask for
permission on forums first...

But - really - that's not how it works sometimes.

Clueless: "Is it wrong to do this?"

15 people post to say "yes, that's wrong"

1 person posts "I don't see why there would be anything wrong with that"

Clueless: gives a thanks to the 1 person and posts "that's what I thought"
and ignores the others:rolleyes:

A case of tell me what I want to hear and I'll agree with you.

GOOD QUESTION! AND ironic!

Not as long as you remember to put the knife back in his hand. Geez, stuff happens. Don't pick the nits.

No - sometimes it's just fun....again.

Not if you translate it to a different language ... and remove the stabbed person from the trunk...

GT :rolleyes:

HOW do you know that? I mean the idea of a person becoming drunk, going to las vegas, being suicidal, and meeting a hooker is FAR from unique! AND HOW old is this "very old indian novel"? I could MAYBE find an OLDER version of an AMERICAN one. Should we say you ripped hollywood off? Admittedly, I haven't seen either, but the language is different, and the setting, culture, and names are ALIEN to indians, so WHAT could be the same? Alcohol? Cuting off ties? Moving? Gambling? A prostitute? Sorry, NOT ENOUGH!

Wow - that'd be one hell of a drive from India to Las Vegas......

Sorta makes you think of Apocalypse Now doesn't it?

Is it wrong to kill someone - depends on the circumstance - and how many witnesses. Lucky for me my baby brother is the head care taker at a grave yard .

smart ass rhetoric over for now....

hum - do I need to send a royalty to the guy/gal that invented the smiley?


ps no - its not OK.

A rose by any other name...

"everything you do is wrong"

you know something, I'm with Floyd. I would rather someone ask questions, no matter how dumb they may seem, or how many times they are repeated.

I think people get their knickers in a knot for no reason. If there's a post that you don't like or a question in a thread you don't like, no one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read it.

We were all new at something at some point in our lives. Treat people the way that you would want to be treated.

Now if you see deliberate spam, theft, or other bad behaviour, then that's different. But we really should try to be a little more patient with each other, don't you think? I mean if you needed help with something, wouldn't you want the person who's helping you to be patient with you?

Be kind to people because there really are a lot more good people than bad.

Just my $.02...

peace...

According to the law, there is such as thing as justifiable homicide. I won't
go into all the details here. You can look it up in a law book if you like.

Point is, under certain conditions, according to law anyway, it is justifiably
okay to kill another person.

Personally, I hope to God that I am never in a situation where I have to make
that decision because I can never picture myself taking another life. But I'll
be damned if I'm just going to let somebody else take mine.

Says YOU. HECK, the very first sentence in the NEW BG is counter to the OLD show. In fact, on the marathon they had with the old show, the TURTH was given on the VERY first show!

And the first one covered things that haven't been covered AT ALL in the new one.

Though it may seem hokey by todays standards, I liked the first one a LOT better.

I was a big fan of the original BSG - but agree with Michael that the new one was superior and enjoyable to watch. Hope Caprica is the same though it will be different.

to keep to the OP intent and the India/Leaving Vegas - its interesting to note that George Lucas sued Glenn Larson over BSG as being a rip off of Star Wars.

From my limited understanding Glen Larson did not like the changes made in the remake even though he was given a producing role in the credits. He also holds the motion picture rights to BSG and is why the currrent producers have said a film version of the new series is highly unlikely.

Geesh - image someone standing up for his (misguided IMHO) beliefs. I can respect that even though I may not agree with them.

Now back to our regularly schedule reply to the OP - If someone was trying to harm my children or my wife - well, what would you do? legal or not?

I'm not going to cap someone for stealing my TV - I can go get another one - hurting my family - that's a completely different story.

'nuff said.

peace,

Actually biblically speaking the word is murder thou shalt not murder murdering people is a crime killing is different by definition one refers to malicious premeditation the other could be in defense .

Ok - Now Indy has made it one of life's great puzzles...good one.

Do you see the word "business" in the title - nope.

I don't you should kill anyone unless they really deserve it:p


One of my favorite interviews was Steven King on some show or another where the sweeet interviewer asked him a question about how he could reconcile the wild imaginary violence he wrote about with raising four children. She mentioned his wife had said he was a patient father.

He said it was simple. When the kids misbehaved he dismembered them in his mind and it took the pressure off. The interviewer looked shocked and I was cracking up.

Whatever happened to common courtesy? Morality? Conscience? Peacemakers? Do unto others as you would have them done onto to you?

I for one am not afraid to admit that I am technically challenged!:p

Do you think that I would even dare publically ask for advice on something technical in this forum? Heck no!

That's why building relationships, trust, and one good turn deserves another, and face the world with a smile and you find it smiles back, is an important key ingredient to success in IM.

If I asked a question that was complex to me, however mundane to someone who is awesome with technilogical stuff, I'd be shredded and thrown out to the dogs. I'm sorry to have to say that, but I do searches and read threads, and see people get trampled!

I'll stick to my personal friends and relationships forged, thanks!

But if I see someone asking a question and I can help, I'll do it in a heartbeat, whether I know them or not!

Wish more felt that way!

Just my opinion,

MissTerraK

thats a nice thought.

not based in reality in any way...but a nice thought.
