MURDER by Colin Mulholland

On the street, in your homes, in a school, in a movie theater, in the country side, at the office, at a bank, in any place or of any form = ILLEGAL But yet; Young men and womyn are signing up for the army each day in hope of a promised "Better future" into which they get shipped off to a foreign country with intent to kill for a cause, whether known or unknown (pending on if the government gives any liable cause) Whether it's "National Defense" or "Self defense" from the get go these young people are going in with the mindset "Kill" whether in the instinct of self defense or so called "Carried out orders to shoot on sight- shoot to kill" = LEGAL.
A man shoots, stabs, prods, chops the head off of etc.. an animal (Pigs, Cows, Chickens, Lamb, etc...) for the purpose that they want to use the "Meat" (aka muscles) and pelt to which in society is NOT labeled manslaughter because animals are not men ("Men") for the purpose of trade within or even outside of capitalism= LEGAL.
How is it that we can define murder between legal, and illegal? How can be murder be legal in the first place? Whether to a human being or to an animal, isn't the old adage "Thou shalt not kill"? Whether you are religious or not, even the stupidest of people can agree that murder is B, A, D, BAD!. With the depiction of murder in film, video games, and television being more constant these days it's not surprising that children who do not have these things explained to them and the mentally ill who are not supervised can take murder and have a terribly askewed view of it. (IE: The child who played halo for days straight without sleep and ended up murdering his parents, and the mentally ill man who shot Lennon because he was "Inspired" by 'Catcher in the Rye')
Recently I watched a documentary on the film rating system's fucked up policies called "This film is not yet rated". In it directors and writers such as Kevin Smith, John Waters, & Matt Stone, of the three Kevin Smith agreed that he finds violence and womyn in distress (about to be murdered or raped) to be more offensive than sex in film. The Europeans feel the same way, they allow more sensual sexual acts to be shown in films because it is a part of human nature. As opposed to murder which is immoral. Somehow America feels the opposite way. With stiff upper lip liberals, conservatives, and Christians opposing most forms of film because "Oh my god there's a woman's breast in this film!" Well try telling that to the Romans and the Greeks and the French who in the 1700's before film and picture was even invented painted pictures of nude women because it was a form of naturality and art. But this is besides my point...
My point is, why should one form of murder be acceptable and legal (such also as the death penalty) and the other form be illegal. All murder is immoral when committed in the act of hate and war. There are those who argue "animals kill all the time!" Though this is true, animals (Besides monkeys, elephants, dolphins and the Orca whale) have no sense of real morality. It's their nature. As for humans, we are the only species who are aware of our someday dying. Unlike animals who only know momentary death. Humans are more capable of evil, and the knowing of what they do. AND THAT INCLUDES MURDER.
