I didn't include killing myself in my choice. Yeah, I've planned and executed that killing.

Very close.

Luckily the evidence isn't clear and the cops have arrested someone else...

Same here. Twice now. It's actually a lot harder than you might think to make someone die.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I seriously think that if there wasn't tight gun laws in England I would have easily killed someone in school, and some people since then too.
I can think of a few times in my teenage years when it was just a hormonal reaction to something petty, but other times when it was due to bullying and things of that nature.
I totally understand it when a school kid goes to a school and shoots a bully to death,  not so much the columbine killings or the Virginia tech massacre killings though because they were seemingly random but then maybe they were just psychotically angry enough to just want to kill humanity in general, I've never been like that before.
These days I'm not a hormonal angry virgin, but I don't think it would be beyond the realms of possibility for me to commit a murder now in the passion of the moment.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I've been very close to taking myself out several times.

Sometimes going on is harder.

I once got into it with a school chum. He made me so angry that I STABBED him in the abdomen with a pocket knife. I just knew he was a goner...but somehow, his belt buckle had deflected the blade! I ran into a restroom and I prayed, and prayed, and prayed some more.....until I emerged a changed woman and Very Safe Negro.

True story, more or less. 
Or more less.   Wink

They caught him and he will be sentenced. In the mean time, his parents spoke out about their killed son and said:

We are blessed that he was killed instantly and didn't suffer.

Here in the states, he would be charged for murder. If someone is killed during a crime, everybody involved is charged with murder.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
