There are some incidents where an eye for an eye is in order. So, don't threaten my life or the lives of those I love or even come close to it, because I will fight back with resolve.

I work with reptiles and have a passion for them, yet will advise people that if it is a case of kill or be killed, then kill the snake. I know an animal is different to humans, but if it is the case of kill or be killed in the moment (assuming you can kill him/her) I would go with protecting myself and family. If it is possible to stop them in some way and get away, then I would rather take that option, and I could never condone a death penalty...<BR/>I think I am relatively macho, for a girl (I do pick up big heavy pythons and handle crocodiles in my work) but suspect I would find it seriously difficult to kill a grown man unless I had a gun in my hand (and although I live in a country where many people think it is good to keep one, I don't.) If I did have a gun, shooting his leg would stop him, and allow us to get away and I would not have his life on my conscience!Dory_42https://www.blogger.com/profile/01573841485705009850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470879226303295078.post-38690141847177401352008-12-01T18:01:00.000+08:002008-12-01T18:01:00.000+08:00I've read this quote from Conversations With God:"...I've read this quote from Conversations With God:<BR/><BR/><I>"What good is a life if it caused nothing but grief?

Any mom would give her life for her child to live or take the life of someone who threated to kill her child if there was no othe option. All I can say is, God does work everything for the good for those who love Him...(Romans 8:28). He is a might God. A graceful God.

I don't know about the ethics and morality but I do know that I would probably kill someone who was going to kill my loved one. I hope I am never in that position. <BR/><BR/>One of my absolute all-time favorite TV shows is "Dexter." He is a serial killer who tries to control his urges by only murdering those who deserve it. This is his code for selecting his kills. It is funny how you really kind of root for him and like him so much. Kind of muddies up how you feel. But of course that is a TV show and not real life. But it did seem a bit related to the movie you described.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.com
