random question:

[dreamtrance]

would you rather be a Psychopathic Serial Killer who feels completely justified in your killings and believes you're comitting an act of love and justice . . .

or

a hired assassin who kills whoever he/she is paid to whether or not it is justifiable?

Hitman. Totally. Cause its all about the cash.

Totally.

see youd do it for the money, I'd do it just for the unrequitted act of killing people *shrugs*

Don't get me wrong, there are people out there I would have no problem killing.

It's not the killing that would be an issue. it's just that, if you got paid for doing something you would do anyway, is it still a job? Or is it a hobby with perks....

if you get paid - its a job
if you like it - its a hobby
if you get paid and can live on it - its a career
if you get paid, can live on it and like it - youre fucking lucky

*nods*

see the thing about being an assassin is you dont get to choose who you kill per se, someone chooses for you

Hmmm..

See, the feeling it's justifiable leads me toward the first one, but the money leads me toward the second.

Some help I am, huh?

Psychopathic hitman, maybe? Best of both worlds?

Crack. It's what's for breakfast, yo.

see thats the point of the question

which carries a higher value: justification or money

[newdaydawning.livejournal.com]

*weighs the two*

For me? Justification.

I don't think that will come as much of a shock, really.

[dreamtrance.livejournal.com]

nope not at all

[nasagrl.livejournal.com]

This leads to the question: What if you think EVERYONE deserves to die? Then you are doing something justified and getting paid for it.....

uh huh... uh huh....

[dreamtrance.livejournal.com]

it depends on to what level you feel everyone deserves to die becuase then you would be a psychopath and a serial killer instead of a hired assassin

ah ha!

Hired assassin. Totally. There's the money, and the probability that you'll be hired to kill people who deserve it. Whereas serial killers usually prey on the powerless and defenceless.

But really, it's all about the cash. And the cool clothes. And guns. Toys!

Assassin

1) Money good. Buffy want beer. (Wait a minute....)
2) Psychopaths are easier to predict (and therefore catch)
3) If the money's good enough, you do get to pick your assignments.
