I mean, say you had an enemy, and you could kill that person with no fear of capture or prosecution.... would you do it?

And, this really is hypothetical. Anyone who thinks it has anything to do with my divorce is barking up the wrong tree. I'm just genuinely curious.

1. We're not fighting are we?
Have I pissed you off?

To answer your question - I'm way to laid back to want to murder someone.

2. that depends...
on how bad an enemy, and what kind of mood i'm in at the time...

actually- only in self-defense, or if doing so would make me extremely wealthy(the want of money is the root of all evil, after all...)

3. No. In my view, I won't be able to escape the karma that goes along
with that act.

4. I dunno
6-10 years ago if you'd asked me that question I'd have rattled off a list about a thousand miles long.

Now, I'm wise enough to wonder if I'd be able to live with myself 50 years from now if I'd have gone through something like that.

Still, there's still a handful of people that I'd NEVER be ashamed of killin.

6. I cannot harm, or by omission of action, allow to be harmed

8. I would make their life a living hell
But I would only kill them in self-defense

9. Yeah if I had an enemy who was looking to do the same to me.
Absolutely. Got to get them before they get you.
