hypothetical questions

[mcatdtDROID]

you're in a burning building

building in on the verge of collapsing any moment and you have to make a choice of which to get first.


35 y.o. man
7 y.o. dog


you don't know anything about either of their backgrounds (ie- you don't know if the guy is a pedophile vs community leader and family man)

who do you drag out first not knowing if you will have a chance to go back in for the 2nd one.



EDIT - damnit.... meant to make this a poll. Either way, it's simple.... Man or dog

Do we know if the dog is rabid and has recently chewed a child's lips off?

What if the dog chewed the mans lip off

What if it's one of those dogs from resident evil

Is the man O.J. Simpson?

 

[Frisco]

Yeah. Stuff like that.

Well that's no fun.

 

[mcatdtDROID]

oh, I will answer this question....

the man.


However, there is one man I wouldn't piss on if he were on fire right in front of me. In that case.... even Cujo or Old yeller (the rabid one) would be rescued way before this guy.

The guy is also 350# I don't know if I could physically drag his fat ass out, so it's a moot point (or at least gives me a built in excuse when everyone asks why I didn't save him. lol

"Average man?"

Where?

scared to say a dog?

How does one determine what is Average and what is not?

Well there you go.

Hell, I'll take it a step further....

I would save an average man over ANY DOG. Even this one....

In this September 2005 photo released by Mary Flood, Jake, a black Labrador retriever search and rescue dog, searches in the debris of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi as a rescue worker watches nearby. Jake, who also helped search the rubble following the Sept. 11 attacks, died Wednesday.

as long as I don't know the man is a pedophile or Hitler or something like that, I save the man over the dog everytime.

(knowing what I know about the one guy I gave an example for changes why I'd save the dog first)

 

[IOWA]

What if it's underdog?

 

[Frisco]

Does the dog emit a plaintive wail?

 

[copestag]

ummm.... Im saving me first..... especially since the fire started because the rabid dog bit the guy and made him drop his crack pipe

 

[eyebeam]

Holy cow, now I'm just totally lost!

[Vihzel]

I'll save both with my superpowers, hypothetically of course.

 

[IOWA]

What if it's a cat-dog!!!

 

[dan330]

how does saving them... affect my life or my kids?


zing!!!

 

[mcatdtDROID]

his grandkid will invent the hovercar. The dogs grandkids shit on your carpet

 

[eyebeam]

his grandkid will invent the hovercar

Or, just as likely, become the next Charles Manson. And remember - You can't play fetch with Manson...

 

[Vihzel]

I actually think I'd save the dog because it's so cute and cuddly! Unless the guy is freaking hot...

 

[dan330]

after both being saved...

the dog runs across the street..
causing the car to swerve..
kills you...and the man you just saved...
the driver dies form brain damage from impact to windshield...
her son dedicates his life to brain surgery form impact..
saves the life of a man.. who then has a boy...
boy grows up to become the next Hitler...
world war 3 starts in 2075...
Earth is reduced to small pockets of livable areas...
population is at 100k people and shrinking...

but ... you dont care.. because...
YOU are dead!!!
