Does this happen in real life?

You hear the expression " beg for mercy" all the time but I can't think of a situation in real life where this might happen. I mean its always menacing pirates or villains in bad movies. Can you think of a situation where it makes sense?

    Some children get abused by their parents and I think for them it is normal to beg for mercy.

    I once saw a man crawling on the floor begging his wife not to kick him out. He was grovelling like a dog and offered to kiss her toes. It was oddly satisfying cause he was a cheating douchebag.

      Wow.
      He must've been a real pussy to let a woman do that to him.
      Did she have a weight advantage or something?

        Wow. Not only are you a criminal-defending douchebag, but a sexist one, too!

    A person might beg a judge or jury for mercy like if they might get the death penalty.

    I don't think that life is so precious that I would demean myself that way to extend it. I'll fight tooth and nail to live, but I wouldn't sell my self respect for even one more second of life.

    • What about for another person, not yourself?

        Good question. I certainly would forfeit (or trade) my life for another's, but begging for another's life if I felt it was totally fruitless would be difficult. As I said good question and one I hope never to have to make.

      You could always pray to Gawd instead of begging for mercy or fighting.

        Praying seems to be your forte. Praying that anyone on here responds positively to any of your silly ass posts.

    I once had a crazy fool break into my house with a knife. When I aimed my .44 at him, he literally begged for mercy. He didn't get it. :)

      Maybe he was trying to steal some bread so he could make a sandwich, hence the knife

    • So did you kill him or just fuck him up?

        He had a weapon, he was attempting to attack me, and he broke into my home. It was self-defence and I had every right to kill him. So I did. Luckily, there was a security camera in my house, and I used the footage as evidence which cleared me of any criminal charges.

        • I was just curious. That's one thing I hate about Europe, a burglar can sue you if they trip over your laundry pile.

    haven't you ever played "mercy" with anybody? (you clasp hands and try to twist their hands back untill they give up by saying "mercy!" or if someone is robbing you and pointing a gun at you you might be begging for mercy by saying "please don't kill me".

        the guy who did it was only about 16 at the time. he also microwaved a live cat and fired a shot at my cousin who was one of his best friends. he's doing like 5 years in jail now. I hope he doesn't get out alive

              He's kind of both, he murdered a cat and tried to murder a human

          Hopefully the disgusting piece of trash is getting raped in it's cell everyday.

          The U.S justice system is a delusional, bleeding-heart shithole.

            Really?
            You'd wish rape upon a fellow human being?
            The death penalty and solitary confinement are debatable, but rape is wrong under any circumstance.
            It does nothing but inflict pointless cruelty and degradation--everyone's a human being, even prisoners.
            Why do you have such little empathy for other people?

            How can you constantly berate and harshly judge other users, when your own sense of morality is so fucked up?

            You just seem like a bitter person who enjoys shitting on other people.

              Listen, you stupid, fucking cunt. The sicko mentioned is a piece of criminal trash who clearly assaulted and tried to kill an innocent person, as well as killing an innocent animal. People like you make me sick. Defending a piece of shit like this. I suppose you are one of the fools contributing to the U.S justice system's policy of punishing the victims and letting criminals go as they please? I will NOT have empathy for such sickening mutations of mankind.

              Criminals do not deserve to be treated as humans. They are not worthy of being called "human". They are the sort of disgusting trash that is neither needed nor wanted on this planet. If humanity wasn't so ignorant, disgusting and deluded, maybe someone could get some fucking sense through their thick skull and realise that keeping these worthless cunts alive is just dirtying the world and contributing to our overpopulation problem.

              You deplorable imbecile.

            He's in jail in england so he's probably getting treated better than old people in care homes
