[quote:Anonymous Coward 13927506:MV8yNTA3MjkxXzQzMzAzNTM5XzdFMDE4QUEz] [quote:Occams Taser:MV8yNTA3MjkxXzQzMzAzNDQ1XzM5MzQzQTc4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 30635704:MV8yNTA3MjkxXzhDNjZDN0Qw] there are stories out there about cops who even though they knew that death would occur if they did not pull the trigger, didn't. same goes for soldiers. Their moral compass would just not allow it and they would rather someone else did the dirty work. honest question, could you? is it because you are too dumb to think before you shoot, or because you know someone has to have the intestinal fortitude? [/quote] I've often asked myself this question and my answer is this: only if the person on the other side of the gun was a threat to my family and friends' or innocent people's lives. I couldn't do it in a war that didn't directly have an impact on those things. [/quote] :this one: [/quote]

honest question, could you?
is it because you are too dumb to think before you shoot, or because you know someone has to have the intestinal fortitude?
