why do people kill?

Answer 1

In my opinion: Greed

Think of any time anyone has killed anything, then think, what did he gain? Freedom? Land? Money? Love?
People always want more of something, and the people that want it bad enough kill for it.
A perfect example right now is USA president Bush, he is killing lots of people to get more oil. Or a farmer will kill lots of cows to get more beef. Or an escaping murderer will kill a person in his way to get freedom.
It all comes down to Greed.

Answer 2

It is the human condition to kill that is in each and everyone of us. It is called survival. We all have what it takes to kill one another, just like other animals. The difference are (or supposedly) we are of an intellect that we can reason our way through most obstacles. However, when that breaks down and intellect is not available, we bahave in our most primitive manner. Make no mistake, we are animals, just domesticated ones.

Answer 3

They are either barbarians or a generally peaceful people protecting their own.
My dad and I used to argue about what should be done if someone broke into our home with intent to steal and or kill. Having just become a Christian (the worst stage!) I thought he should do nothing. Since then, I realized his need to defend his family.

Answer 6

They are at war;
They have no remorse;
They already did it once, why not do it again;
They are pushed to the edge (revenge for rape, etc.)
They are attacked

Lots of reasons - some are justifiable - self defense for example.
