[QUOTE="Mr. Grimm, post: 46808, member: 1759"] Well in your burglary example above, I don't think it's necessarily an evil act. Is the homeowner so enraged because he or his family were threatened? That's not evil, that's animal. Or to bring matters closer to that of the game starting this thread: What if after subduing the robbers you now have no one to turn to as far as the law goes? What if you were in the middle of no where with no idea what these people who JUST TRIED TO KILL YOU were capable of doing? How do you deal with them and hope that they don't come back or try to harm you later in revenge. As I said before, it's up to the character, not their alignment and I don't think capital punishment for attempted murder is wrong. As to someone showing up evil who has never committed an act of evil, I wholly believe it possible. How many people like Hitler never directly pulled a trigger? Just because a man doesn't commit an act, doesn't mean that he wouldn't if he couldn't. Just because a conspiracy to kill fails before it is executed doesn't make those potential actions any less abhorrent, or evil, just those who failed (thankfully) less competent. But as usual, what I find funniest about this moral crisis can be summed up best by the following: [/QUOTE]
