I guess since you're never able to see all the impacts that such a decision would make, you can never tell ... other than the immediate action, if it was good or bad. You could do one thing that could change the course of history in the long run for better or worse.

The only thing I ever feel I need to change the most is myself. That's the only thing I have control over Smile

I see what you mean but I still don't feel right killing a human being no matter what reasons. I don't really believe in "justice" either. Every man has his/her own perspective on what is "right" or "wrong" for them.

Haha I remeber one of my teachers saying this about justice. "Justice is only really what the people with power say it is" It's a word that so vauge it doesnt really exist I guess =P You can definently get the sense of justice though.

I think there are some things that are definitely right and some things that are definitely wrong. (Incidentally, I also think that justice is real. That is, I think that certain actions deserve certain consequences.)

You guys would have loved Society and Culture - this subject I do at school. Actually I have my trial exam for it tomorrow.

We deal with (amongst a whole bunch of other stuff) power and authority, social inequality and justice, etc.

It's a pretty good subject but the Personal Interest Project almost killed me.

Good point Janny.

if i had a death note i would kill the original creators of the series / anime because i think that show is the most over rated thing i have seen in the past few years.

so the note cannot be burnt by fire hay?? in that case i would tie a lump of lead onto it. get a boat to the middle of the indian ocean and toss it in. that or attach it to a bomb at an atomic testing range... lets see how a little book likes THAT Razz

on a more serious note.
I would not kill anyone, i believe that no matter how horrible / twisted a person is they are alive for a reason and have a roll to play in this world. i would take time to think of the most fool proof way in which to dispose of it to ensure that it was 100% unrecoverable so that no one could use it.
