Wolfish – There are two reasons why we kill a ????: a) ???? ????? – saving the victim, and b) ??????? ???????. Your tone of surprise is because you are working with the first reason, in which case killing him is obviously useless. However, according to the second reason, if he is about to commit suicide and there is no way of stopping him, you should kill him (provided suicide is ?? ????, as I said above).
Scared Driver Delight – I love insults. They make me sound like I made a good point that the other fellow didn’t think of but doesn’t know how to prove it wrong. Keep ’em coming!
And, sorry for hijacking your thread. I know this discussion is not directly related to what you had in mind.
