Help me out

Clearly you don't have children. I would kill and eat 10 other children to save my own child. I might have to use A1 sauce though, for flavor.

C'mon, it's the only logical response to that question.

Agreed. I'd level an entire country without blinking to save my little girl. Try me.

I would save my daughter and kill Datfire's plant

Datfire..... you are an idiot

This comment is funnier every time I read it.

he opted not to kill Datfire but instead only kill his plant.

No one's hurt but we know Datfire would be distraught.

Fucking comedy.

on NPR i heard about something similar….a study about human behavior…..2 questions

you're standing by a switch and a train is headed for a group of people, you can pull the switch and the train is diverted to a track where there is just one person….

same scenario only you're on an overpass and if you push a person standing next to you you will save a group of people….

most responded to the first one saying they would pull the switch

most responded to the second one saying they would not push the person

the switch scenario distances you from the action…. the other involved more personal responsibility...

or I can go off the board and choose to do nothing in which case I can be blamed for nothing. or I can throw myself in front of the train and avoid a life time of guilt. idk...i'll smoke a bowl and ponder it.

You are screwing up a good thread, and on a fast track atm.

I appreciate your answers but in response, I do have a son who will be turning 4 and like yourselves I would do anything in my power to help him. These questions are hypothetical of course and ask you to reply in a manner in which you deem correct, any input from me {or anyone else for that matter} would scue the results or purpose of these types of exercises.

Such as: You are able to help some people, but unfortunately you can only do so by harming other people. The number of people harmed will always be 10 percent of those helped. When considering whether it is morally justified to help does the actual number of people involved make any difference? For example, does it make a difference if you are helping ten people by harming one person rather than helping 100,000 people by harming 10,000 people?

But in helping me, 5 others will perish.

Do you still help me?

Is this one of those lifeboat will sink decisions?.

If so, off the side you go...sorry!

It's great that you're willing to play along guys, I realize it's not one of the typical questions found here in TnT but the amount of replies is a pleasent surprise...most of my threads die quick and merciful deaths .

Not a prob maybe if I wasn't getting insulted I wouldn't make insulting remarks

Has this turned into a math problem?.....

Do I know any of the people personally ?

But I'm going with Freudian slip here.

In a sense, yes I guess you can see it that way.

No not for this one.

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

No not for this one.

If I'm not personally involved with anyone then my gut tells me I would most likely be a spectator. And after the event, one of the recovery crew whom helps clean up the carnage.

 

[Commander Strax]

lets take it up a notch....

the list goes,


Me
My Daughter
My Dog
everyone else
