"Killing in the name..."

If you kill someone that is REALLY evil and has done bad things, is it justified. Views.

Tis a good-un. Books of philosophical aphorisms and ideas are my favourite kind of books.

Just wondering, so far only I only know of two people to have read the books - the friend who lent me them and me.

I have heard of it, and Tad Williams too, but I've never read it or anything else by Tad W. I hardly read fiction. Why do you ask?

Black Glove, on a topic completely unrelated to the subject matter, have you ever heard of a book called "The Dragonbone Chair" from a series of four books written by Tad Williams? Just wondering.

The only killing I can justify is that done in self-defence where your life is in immediate peril.

Killing someone (who you deem to be "evil") with forethought would surely be an evil act.

I think killing evil people is justified.

People were talking about killing rapists and which party would be considered most evil. I thought.

You can comment on whether you feel you can justify killing someone considered evil you consider evil or was that last post about something else?

I know a girl who has killed somebody in self defence. She isn't evil. The guy and one other was trying to rape her.

I don't think this is something you can comment on unless you have experienced it. I certainly wouldn't.
