The Hitman. Is he moral or inmoral. Are his actions ever justifiable. I think the hitman is a man driven by his job. A man driven by a purpose to complete his job. He kills not becouse he likes to but because that is what he does to make a living. He is a man surviving in todays society. A society of courpution, devoid of logic. He can not justify his extinence without a purpose. Even if that purpose is not what society would call an aceptable one. But is he really going against what society belives or teaches. Society tells use to win at all costs. To do anything to advance, to survive. Forgive me for my horrible spelling.
trust me that you rspellinf is finee
even if the hitmen is doing what he does for fun and nothing else i still would NOT put moral judgements onto him. to tell you the tuth that i want to be a hitman myslef for a long time, there is a certain kinds of people in our society that i’d love to get rid of. frankly if i fail to find a satisfactory job after graduation then i’ll jut join the triad for lifee
I,ve hired a hitman to take you out.
who will be amoral you or the hitmaan. The hitman is your pawn he does your bidding. He performs a service that you request if you or mother people like you did not exist he would have no reason for being and would be forced to pursue another ocupation.
Hitmen exist because there is a demand for their services and they supply it. Morality, social acceptibility, and the law, these subjective factors only act as barriers to entry and inflate the cost of their services.
We cannot describe the hitman as moral or immoral from a objective, universal sense. All we can do is guess at their subjective morality or amorality. Hitmen can subscribed to morals, such as for instance the characters of “Boondock Saints” who had a strong sense of Christian morality yet justified their actions. They can also be amoral, believing that there is no objective morality and there is no basis by which to pass moral judgments on themselves or the people they server. I suppose it is also possible for a hitman to exist that sees his own actions as immoral, and is perhaps continuing the line of work as a form of self-punishment, who knows.
The point is, there is no basis to judge the action of the hitman or the people who hire them from a objective morality. There are no doubt many societies in the world which do not see hitmen as doing wrong, one example off the top of my head is ninjas in feudal japan. Anyhoo, in current day America, if we were to generalize the population, I would say that it is socially unacceptable and thats the closest you’ll get to some form of broad moral judgement.
Here is another question…
Ok… our world is what it is, people get murdered… it’s a fact of life. My question is this: Do you think that it is more moral to have a limited number of people responsible for ending life, with high death tolls… or a larger number… .with small individual death tolls.
I’m no expert because well… I haven’t murdered anyone but I would think that the more you do it… the easier it gets, so wouldn’t it be more ethical to prevent as many ‘first timers’ from killing as we could?
I know this has no application to the real world as this simply isn’t really feasible… but basically do you guys/girls think that someone who has killed alot of people might as well keep on doing it… rather than stop, and have some ‘innocent’ person start up… and go through the grief of the initial turmoil that comes with taking a person’s life?
Or do you see each murder as being compounded… the more deaths, the more internal turmoil?
disclaimer - this only applies to people who do not get pleasure from killing… cause that’s a whole new ballgame.
Hit men are both moral and immoral they kill people for a living and have no emotion in doing thier job. The simply are trying to put food on the tables for thier famalies.

I believe that a hitman would always be immoral. This would not be from a religious context but from taking away others freedom or natural right to life. Even if the hitman were taking out seemingly bad people, the erasure(word?) of their freedom is not acceptable through these means.
Ok, I have known several “hitmen” in my time. Almost always these guys believed that they were protecting their employer from some kind of harm. One guy that comes to mind felt that his employers were better than his own family and that’s why he would kill for them.
So, you could say that at least some of these guys are more sensitive than the average person in that loyalty moves them to do very extreme things.
A hitman to me is a man that is a man who never looks himself in the mirror. They do things for money without even thinking about the conscequences of what there doing to other people. They are immoral monsters who take the lives of others for a benjamins. No one is worth killing for money good or bad.
