Okay, I'll rephrase: What are the principles by which you live your life? Are there certain things you personally think are right and wrong?

I kinda already answered that question, but I'll do it again:

I think rape is wrong. I do believe there are reasons that can justify killing specific people. I can't think of anything that I undoubtedly classify as right.

Not necessarily.

...because you could be helping a serial killer? Is that why?

You have to give the person the benefit of the doubt. Chances are, they probably aren't an 'evil' person.

Well, there are more exceptions. For instance: I don't think it was moral to help the rebels in Libya and I don't think it is moral to go and help the rebels in Syria.

You don't have to choose/create elaborate scenarios. There's a hungry person on the street and you have food. Do you give it to him?
