I have heard it said that everyone is capable of murder given the right circumstances and everyone has price. Do you agree or dis? Why?

    Everyone has their limits, even the sanest man can go nuts if you push him over the edge.
    About everyone having a price I disagree. There are people who have avoided succumbing to things even to preferring death before surrender. So I believe in the willpower of people.

    I think you cannot buy anyone unless that person was on the "close-out sales price" rack all along. I think how you react to situations doesn't change you at all...they just reveal whom you are. If my child's life were threatened I could certainly kill someone but that wouldn't be murder would it? It would be self-defense or defending someone else. Thank you for your reply Oscar!  :(

    I am not sure.

    I was raised in America and under the right circumstance (for example someone has killed my daughter) I am sure I would be ready to kill.

    However I know of people in India who have their daughter's killed and their response is only despair.

    Perhaps it is a cultural effect, so culture could be the "right circumstances".

    I do believe that I could kill in self-defense, or defending someone I love, but I don't believe there is enough money in the world to make me kill a person for no reason.

    Or to earn your living at it as a hit-man or hit-woman might. I can't imagine killing an animal for any reason except perhaps if it were charging at someone and might kill the person. Certainly not for "sport" or a trophy on my wall. That  takes a special kind of person and I am not special at all. I am very ordinary. Thank you for your reply Spunky :)

    I agree, Rosie.  I couldn't do it either.  Happy Sunday. :)
