What is your alignment?

If you want to think that way, ok. Although I will say I do not believe in innocence, the only reason any of us are still here and not somewhere else is that we have messed up previously some how. Also, why would I feel guilt for ushering someone onto a different place? I know that for most of us it is easier to believe people with vastly different mindsets are somehow "only thinking they are that way" and if that helps, then more power to you. The only way to prove one way or the other would be to do it, and I do not find that 'proving a point' is justification for killing. I will say this, there are people who have no compunction with killing, not sure why you assume I am not one of those. In college I was actually approached for CIA work because of my phsychological profile. The military looks for the same profile when training snipers (although the police look for the exact opposite I am told). There were plenty of taoists during the early years after Lao Tzu that had no qualms with killing, mainly because death is just another way that Tao explains itself.

First, that argument is the biggest load of horse-hockey I've ever heard. If someone being an annoying jerk is enough justification for murder, proving a point as justification is no different. Both are meaningless, random killings and it's a nice cop-out to be able to say "I'd kill someone no problem for being a jerk, but I won't prove it to you." Yeah, right, whatever. :\

Second, no one that has been approached by the CIA to work for them actually talks about. Those that do talk about it are the first ones everyone ignores as tellers of tall tales. Again, :\

People are approached all the time, I never said I was approached for anything fishy. They offered me a job, I am a history major speciallizing in China. Do you really think the CIA is some shadow group? They run their business like anyone else. The reason I got the interview was that my psychological profile matched up with someone who would do well in that, take that as it is. People who think that whole 'no one talks about being offered a job by the cia' are usually conspiracy theorists. The CIA is a respectable government organization that has lots of positions. They prefer less than average morals because they deal with a lot of different cultures and are, at heart, working to make the country a better place, at the cost of personal morals sometimes. Do you also think everyone offered a job by the NSA are assassins or something? Come on, get real. Do you think that everyone who works for the cia is somehow keeping it quiet? What exactly do you think the CIA does? All those guys walking in and out of the head quarters, in and out of embassies, they're all fakes or something? This makes more sense than my comment that I approached for a job in the CIA how?

Also, I did not say that being annoying was justification for murder, go back and reread what I said. Please read the post before flaming someone. I said that I would have no *moral* qualms. Morals are not the only thing that keeps us from killing each other. Why is that so hard for you to undestand? I never said I would kill him, there are a lot of other factors than morals to consider. Justification is a whole lot more complicated than right and wrong, did you even read my previous posts or just pull things out to attack?

Also, please refrain from insults, no one here has insulted anyone, please respect us.

What alignment would you give yourself? For consistency, use the description of the different alignments from the PHB (3e or 3.5e).

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I'm Lawful Good

Lawful in spite of... or actually BECAUSE of my problems with Law. Neutral and Choatic people feel free to ignore law, and therefore don't take law as personally as I do.

And Good. Or course, I'm also quite intelligent. And I've noticed that *my* definition of good and *your* definition of good don't necessarily mesh (Note: Consider that as a generic, and not an individualistic "you").

As a point of fact, many of the behaviors the typical "human" seems to define as good I personally find quite evil. And sometimes they think that my most good impulses are evil. But then, you did ask ME to define my alignment.

Now, as for the PHB description. They're amusing, in that they are vague enough so that anyone can be any alignment, with proper rationalization.
