Is it normal to be fine with murder?

13 Comments

Whenever I hear/think about murder I'm not horrified or afraid. It's not that I think about actually doing it or anyone else should, I just don't see why it's so taboo. People will seem so upset if it's mentioned, but brush off other much worse and pressing problems. I mean, death is just a part of life. I don't see why it's so terrible that someone's life is taken by another. People die because of others action every day, constantly. Why is it only considered evil sometimes?

    I think its normal. I do think this at times. Death is inevitable, so instead of worrying about living a long life, why not worry about living a great life? I'd personally rather live a short, yet well-lived life, than a long, miserable one. The thought of dying doesnt scare me, I guess after hearing about people dying in the news and around me, I've gotten quite numb. I know that death is a bad thing and should not be wished upon people, but I also think that it's not the worst thing that can happen to anyone.

    I find it hard to believe you're serious, but just in case you are, what could be worse than having your life ended against your will? Other violent crimes are also terrible but while a person is alive there's almost always some hope of recovery both physically and emotionally: death takes away that hope for ever.

    It's evil because it's the ultimate control trip to deprive another of life: can't you understand that???????

      Death is a unfortunate occurrence, and is often very painful, both emotionally and psychically, on both the dying and the dying's loved ones. It might not be pleasant and I'd be devastated if it happened to someone I cared about, but that doesn't change the fact that it happens.

      I may have phrased my question in a bad way - it's not that I support murder, it's that I don't understand why it's seen as so unthinkably horrible and taboo. People die everyday, and their lives are often taken by the actions of others. We'd all like to think we'll die of old age, sleeping peacefully but real life isn't that nice. You're going to die, and you could die at literally any moment.

      What I'm trying to say is, I don't get why murder is so... sheltered. Murder is both common and quite frankly, not the worst thing out there. Why do people just ignore it and shun anyone who even mentions it?

      And yes, I'm being serious. I'm fully prepared to be called, weird, insane, a monster, creepy, disturbed, and as many other insults that you can think of. I see the world how I see it, and I'm not going to ignore the bad parts just because it's easier. Ignorance IS bliss, but it's also a wretched disease. Only those who are informed and willing to face problems can actually change anything.

        Thanks for being so understanding and accepting of others views. Glad to see you actually read my comments and really considered them. You know, it's so frustrating to see people who brush off others opinions as trolls because they disagree. So happy you aren't a judgmental jerk - I see you put a lot of though into your comment.

        Oh, and if you have a problem with me or my beliefs, you can leave. Insane or not, at least when I play with fire I'm prepared to be burned. If you flirt with trolls, be ready - you'll have to pay the consequences.

          So... Is that a vote for "both"?

          You see its confusing how you could get upset about my comment which really wasn't aimed at you but others that might read the topic when your ok with some one taking anothers life. Are you saying that what I posted is worse than murder or was you reply a thinly veiled threat to harass me via trolling?

          I'm genuinely interested in what you think?

            I'm not 'upset' at your comment - I'm stating how pointless and redundant your comments were. You're accusing me and charli.m of being trolls while you yourself are trolling.

            I am not supporting murder - I explicitly said that. And no, I'm not that much of a child that I would think a few lines of text is worse than murder. RTFM, people.

            Your genuinely interested? The maybe you should try something called thinking - it's quite useful!

          Yea. Hey Ellenna do you have any advice about this... I seem to have pissed off charli.m and now EVERY THING I post is being down voted into the void and someone has even made a account that looks just like mine. Is there any recourse to these trolls?

            I don't report people purely because I disagree with them. I play by the rules. I'm not the one who flirted with trolls and presumably fucked them off somehow.

            I honestly don't know sistershadow: strange things seem to be happening on here lately. I reckon obvious trolls should be ignored but I'm not always sure at first. Maybe create another account in a completely different name? You shouldn't have to do this, but it would be less stressful for you.

            Ignore the idiot below with the potty mouth: how h/she knows whether or not charli.m has anything to do with what's happening to you is a mystery, unless of course h/she is actually charli.m? And now I've done it, probably commenting on trolls ....... remember the fake gypsysailor rubbish a while ago? Some people need to get a life .....
