What do you think?

Would you feel guilty for having someone sacked?

If you felt someone was totally incompetent (very nice family guy, but totally incompetent), and possibly a risk to loads of other jobs, including yours!

Someone who has been given loads of chances to prove themselves but kept coming up short!

Would you have them sacked??

(And yes, I've been feeling guilty!!)

That is a tough question to answer as I had something similar a few years back with a work mate who used to turn up drunk for a night shift we both worked on.
He was also a good friend and I tried to tell him that if the boss found him like this he would be sacked and he would thank me for my advice and promise to sort himself out.
Alas he would eventually turn up drunk again as the man had a drink problem ,so in the end I had a word with our boss who was sympathetic with this guys ploy and had a word with him which resulted in him going to a treatment center for 28 days , and delighted to say he is back working now and never had a problem with him since as he don't drink anymore.
This may be different to your situation but there is only one way to solve it and that is to tell him the truth like you just wrote here and let him in no doubt that he is facing the sack.
It is only he who can change himself but you can let him know as a friend that he needs to change.

At the end of the day, you have to put the business first. Whether it's your own business or whether you're employed in an authoritative position.

There comes a stage when you're working with a lazy fuck that u say to yourself "why the fuck am I doing all the work ?"
Problem is that I can only bluff for so long then have to do my work whereas yer man bluff all the time & doesn't give 1 fuck.
Yet he's probably earning more than me.
