What it always comes down to, Spexx, in all these threads, is that you wouldn't kill someone who is just trying to steal your stuff. You value the criminal's life slightly less than yours or your family's, but always more than everything else.*

You need to accept that lots of people don't have that particular hangup.


*I can't recall if you've weighed in on whether your wife getting raped would count as life-threatening or something not worth killing over.

So what posession is worth killing for? A TV? A pack of gum? Certainly there's a continuum - where do you killers draw the line?
