How many times do I need to say my life has no value to you before you realize I did answer the question?
If I were to kill you
- Thread starter All Else Failed
- Start date
This thread actually makes me want to kill myself.
yeah this is sort of depressing
Well, I'd like to know why. Plus, having seen every Bond film numerous times, I know the advantage is on my side once the bad guy gets into the long-winded explanation of his plan
Warning ya.
that poor cat 
bolded my answer to the Original question, so there's no need to bicker about who values what, eh?
SPLAIN yourself..
Why should I need to explain why I'm killing you? its not like it matters
its an alternative outlook on society's views of death and killing. Instead of seeing murder as not normal for a person to do, and the victim being innocent (when they are seen as suc), the tables are turned and murder is ok to do and YOU have to be the one on trial and explain why I should let you live, theoretically in this situation.
I'm not buying it. You asked the question in the OP as to which it is:
would you need to explain the murder to me
or
should I explain why I should live.
I'm just following your lead
I'm down with that, if that's what you're after. It's just inconsistent with your OP
I think that if you were to kill me I want a explaination on why me1
Then when you get caught. I think that you should be killed in the same way.

Don't do the crime if you don't want to face the time.
(or something like that).
(or something like that).
I'd ask you to explain why; then I would deconstruct your argument, and then prove to you why I am worthy of life.
I'm going to end you because until you explain to me why you think you shouldn't be ended, I have no reason to not end you.
Why should someone explain why they shouldn't be killed?
In that case, I'll just skip to straight to the explanation of why I'm worthy of life: A man possesses his life, and until he violates another's life, is the sole manager of it. Ending me is stealing in it's highest form; stealing, not to have, but to steal. You did not earn my life, my life is not yours to take any more then it is yours to offer me. And as I have done nothing to violate my humanity (my rationality, thought, body, soul), I am still have sole rights over it.
I'm just curious if someone has a decent argument as to why they deserve to live.
Obviously, I think people deserve to live, but I'm not coming from my POV.
Because the only way to stop a thing with a brain is to reason with it. The only way to stop a killer with a normally functioning brain is to reason with it.
