If you're tortured but don't die, there's always the possibility for revenge. Assuming that death in this instance is permanent. Whereas death would be the end.

So you're the sort of man who'd live for the sake of revenge...? A rather dark thing to live for.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Hmmmmm... That's a disappointment.

Re: 2. I believe that killing is wrong.

[machiavellianiue]

How's that?

Re: 2. I believe that killing is wrong.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Well, you can think about that on your own. I don't feel like telling you everything.
