It's a First World question.
You've (Most likely, I have no idea about anything thats ever happpened in your life) never been in a situation where a local warlord or whatever has come to your farm and raped your wife and kids, burned your house down etc, or there's just one person standing between you and your family starving to death, or one of probably millions of reasons that otherwise "reasonable people" are probably provoked into committing acts they otherwise wouldn't have done everyday. We live in a relative paradise beyond the means of most of the rest of the planet where we don't have to really worry about food supplies, crime etc, etc, so its very easy to say that you could never be provoked into killing.

Your point is that the circumstances would have to be pretty extreme and are unlikely to occur in England and Wales.
Yeah, that's kind of my point as well.

Okay
If you took away every single reason why people commit murder, then yeah, there is is no reason for anyone to ever kill anyone else. Its not much of an argument though, is it?

I kinda agree with you, though.
