We all know it's wrong and what the implications are, so what makes someone kill? I'm not talking about people who are mentally unbalanced, just 'cold blooded' killers?

Well 'we all know it is wrong' is incorrect since right and wrong is a perception. Assmuing everyone did know it is wrong there are both medical and psychologial reasons which can make people either not care about doing wrong or just seperate them from the ability to know right and wrong in the moment of what they are doing (i.e. anger). For the cold blooded killers I assmue you mean people that just dont care about hurting others that can be caused by many things territory infringement being one main that I can think of. Though maybe they are simply doing it for money that can allow one to sepetate from there emotions and the idea oof right and wrong because they look at it as a point of survial as they need to gains to perpetuate their own life. Now you also have another type of killer those that have feeling involved with it they kill for the thrill of doing something they should not be they kill for the adreneline rush that they get from it.
Take any answer you want from above but notice that all of them speak of something from an illegal stand point.
Then think from the other end. Are our soldiers 'cold blooded killers'? Is it ok to kill someone if its your job? Is it ok to kill the inmate on death row?
Let take it one step further Is it ok to kill the cow so you can have a T-bone steak? How about the fly that bothers you so you grab the fly swatter?
The last paragraph is only to prove my point that killing being right or wrong is a matter of perception.

some people are really annoying and need a good killing to sort them out, any one l`ve killed doesn`t annoy anyone else so it must work.
