Is there one? I believe in Him now.

the movie was lik totally swt

Wow that movie was a classic. Hell, I remember watching that in Belgrade for a school trip.

make sure the other side wouldn't be willing to trade this spies life for one of our own they may be holding ...

So you would send a spy back with all the knowledge he has plus he knows where your encampment is, for another soldier?

if I didn't fall short of my morals when under stress, no. I'd probably run away and hide quite more readily.

How can you be sure your morals would suppress your human instinct though? I mean, masturbation probably sounded disgusting to you as a kid until... well you know  .

You're the wise old man of the forums so I guess I shouldn't question you anymore. You're also Greek, so you are a god of philosophy according to the American education system.

But seriously you wouldn't shoot back at someone? What if someone shot at your friend?

this all isn't at all about logistics for me. I don't hold utilitarian ethics, so the amount of people it would save or condemn if I killed or didn't kill someone never comes into the equation. My morality dictates that I not kill any human being ever, and if i did, it would be an ethical lapse that is extraordinary and cannot be negotiatied 'within' my moral context. To answer your question, I might have killed the spy, in your scenario, because I am human and weak and fall short of my own beliefs, but my morality would certainly dictate towards any but this course of action.

Would you shoot back if someone shot at YOU?

Wow man... make sure to wear a bluecup shirt and get the word out if you can!! I know a celebrity now, cool!@!! Good luck.

Would not even have to think about it .
Talk to him , make him feel at eaze, smoke sig with him get him to smile and put a bullet between his eyes.

:o

Once upon a time, generals and even kings would lead troops into battle. If that was still the case, I imagine there would be less unnecessary conflict.

Sounds like you feel that style was more glorious. I have to agree with you though. It seems before wars were the final solution (no im not talking about Nazi final solution) to a conflict. The winner of a war had the last say. Since Vietname, who knows wtf is going on.

 It's easy to learn and be taught to do these things, but do you believe you could actually do it in war-time, Nikolas?

For just a spy, NO. But if i had seen such a person killing my own troops and/or innocent people, i may reconsider.Ã,  Even then i would only do it if instructed by my ranking officers.Ã,  I am not capable of taking a human life.

edit: thinking about this, what the hell would i be doing in the military if i couldn't take a human life? I could always be a cook who was ordered to do so.

LoL?

*domino kills a military prisoner around with a large trout*

 It is a time during war. A spy is captured and you are the one chosen to execute him with a pistol to prove your willpower and ability. You think about the spy's family and how they would feel if they find out how he was executed. Could you pull the trigger, for what at the time is for a greater protection of your squad and/or army, while emotionally knowing how his family will feel and what damage you bring to them?

This is philisophical I guess, thought it would be an interesting thread. Hoping to get a Helm-style response atleast.

I personally try not to think about how or why things are how they are. Because it is the unavoidable FACT that I simply will not know the truth during my lifetime as a human being. I do believe however that in Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection. If we TRULY are alone then we have a big path ahead of us as beings of the universe.

YOUR SON IS INDEED LOOKING AT PORN MY JEKELL.

Organized religion is there to keep you as far away from God as possible. It's just a business. BTW what does all this have to do with the picture? lol

... I hope that was a joke response. However, I don't know why it's an elephant.

Im going with politically incorrect, and find it a bit funny. But should I find it funny? Is the line between political incorrecness and tastless humor really this close?
