[Oh hey, look, it's a (fairly) new kid on the network. And he has a question for y'all.]

Hey, everyone. My name's Alvin Draper and I'm pretty new here, so I apologize if this is a question that's been asked before, but it seemed ... relevant, given some of the more recent discussions here.

[I.e., that whole "should we kill Delight" poll, which Tim is still actively side-eyeing the hell out of everyone here over. Except Lance. Lance is the only sane person here and has the correct opinion on murder.]

I'm just curious - [because he wants to know exactly what kinds of psychos he's landed with] - under what circumstances do you believe it's acceptable to kill someone, and why do you believe that?

i dont want anyone to die and i know there has to be a better option but

i wish i couldve had the power to save them

You don't have to be a hero to save people. And you don't have to kill people to do it, either.

i... i guess
i just want to be strong
right now i dont stop much of anyone from doing bad things

[justmath]

Being strong doesn't necessarily mean using more force. Being strong can be something as small as standing up for what you believe.
