You've probably seen the "Who would shoot Saddam ?" thread (created by windmill).

Would it be ethically less to ask "Who would shoot {insert name of your president} ?"

If we allow one, should we allow the other ?

Should the "Who would shoot Saddam ?" thread be deleted by the moderators ?

Absolutely not, there is some interesting ethical discussion going on there and it is a valid topic. I generally don't like any posts being removed, but "Who would shoot Sadam" is certainly more valid since it is a current issue. People are actually seriously discussing shooting Sadam.

He's not on trial for anything. It makes more sense to say who would impeach him or who would not vote for him.

Whether {insert name of your president} is officially on trial or not, is it OK to talk about shooting them ?

Visit America and I'll take you beaver shooting, Gnats. You'd enjoy shooting beaver. But it has to be during the summer months. Beaver just don't expose themselves much in Michigan during the winter months.

Col. Whelan says beaver is the best-tasting game ... he gets pretty ecstatic over it (think the book is Camping in the Wilderness or something like that ) ...

I don't know what you mean by "okay", Gnats. In my opinion, if you seriously want to kill someone, or see them killed by someone else, then by all means talk about it if you want. If it's just more of the usual bullshit then why waste the time. What's more, if it's just bullshit you may trigger a murder you didn't envision or get into serious trouble and all for spreading bullshit.
The question concerns ethics rather than legalities.

If you're discussing it with a view to whether it would be ethical, that's okay.

However, discussing shooting someone with an aim towards carrying it out is wrong, and illegal (conspiracy to murder).
