I have killed another human being.

Where "I" refers to the voter, and "killed" means in real life (video games and make believe don't count). And remember, in most countries, there's no statute of limitations on murder.

Specify, please: knowingly? Accidentally? Intentionally?
So if you want to refer to yourself, do you say "The claimant"?
You should check out the "make claims about yourself" button. You should be able to find it on your homepage. From there you should be able to figure out how to make claims about specific people. I personally feel that making a claim about yourself is the easiest way to avoid ambiguity when you want to refer to "the claimant". There are a whole mess of claims about proper pronoun usage, they should be easy to find if you search for keywords like 'pronoun', '[voter]', 'ambiguous', and so forth.
Kent: Yes.
Are you watching re-runs of "lost"?
Just another sign that I may be the only Jyter with a past.
Hopefully some day...
Well, I don't consider hobos human...
Terribly sorry, my initial excuse what "I was following orders", but I'm sadder and wiser now :(
I'm a doctor. Technically I kill lots of people. Not intentionally of course.
(I've confirmed three deaths today....)
I'm a nurse. I carry out doctor orders to "kill" people. But it's under order, so it doesn't count.
But there are days when I would like to...
I have not made my bones.
Caroline "under orders" does count. but causality in a hospital setting may be hard to trace; are you killing them if you stop saving their life? or if you just don't give them treatment fast enough? hard to say...

There is a difference between killing and letting die.(Dr. Peppers -- confirming deaths isn't the same as killing, but i suspect you still qualify \ : )
@ Brian; I will never let you operate on me..
you may be human but people put their trust in you, you hold their life in your hands and to let that go is a crime...
By the way I never finished comment...
in a figurative sense... your a man doing your job but still I wouldn't trust any doctor or surgeon etc..
@bridey
all docters "kill" people, by not being perfect or omnipotent docters, that dosn't mean that they have done anything wrong. You just don't understand what brian said.
Yes I wasn't been completely serious in first comment...
and when did I state that doctors did something wrong?.. I'm pretty sure I didn't
you seemed to say he had comited a crime...
but aparently a misunderstanding
Here, Bridey.
Right. So I did then... How stupid am I. I think that its just because I have a MAJOR fear of surgeons... if you read the comment after wards I said that I meant it figuratively. but annway, that claim was done 4 months ago, and I'm alittle older today. :p
we've all killed people. by driving cars, by not donating to charity, by not voting communist, by voting communist...
