I would gladly use violence to protect myself, my family, or my property. I would probably also be willing to use violence to protect an old lady or someone who was obviously being taken advantage of.

Beyond that, though, the situations in which I would be willing to use violence are harder to pin down.

I would participate in a military action if my country was attacked by another country. I don't know that I would be too excited about being drafted to fight in a Vietnam-kind of thing, though.

Aside from the situations above, what would you risk your life fighting for?

If you were drafted to go fight somewhere like Iraq would you go? Once there would you kill people who were defending THEIR homes? Would you be comfortable killing people just based upon the fact that they were shooting at you, even if perhaps they had the moral high ground since it is their country?

Anybody want to fight anytime anywhere just for the hell of it?

Evel Knievel once said that he had had a full life and the only thing that he had never done that he always wanted to was kill somebody. But that dude was crazy.

The protect myself, someone I loved, someone innocent.

Also to protect my land or property.

That's about it. Any other use seems inappropriate.

Change the word 'goverment' to 'community'

Now, would you kill to protect?

Big Tex, law is either mala en se or mala prohibita. The former refers to a moral law the latter to a rule.
