A Moral Dilemma

[Talons]

I'm speaking in a logical and selfish way when I say I would..

Keep

Myself
Chef
Mechanic
Professor
Doctor

Kick Off

Pregnant woman
The baby
The mother
Teacher
My Grandmother

I would kick these people off because i'm female rolleyes so I could become the pregant woman and mother with my own baby if I really needed to re-populate. I would kick off the teacher because from my own experience they like teaching straight from the book and dare to stray into their own thought. And both my Grandmothers passed away this year (RIP) so clearly they couldn't even be there with me.

Sounds mean but hey, i'm the one deciding who gets the boot.

 

[PurpleDucky]

how dare you correct my grammar?!? :: pushes devan off the life boat ::


"quick! everyone paddle before she catches up!!"

I feel the love!!!
I just have this thing, if you don't post things in the proper spelling.. it makes me cringe. On another thread you typed jsut. And it really annoyed me XDDD

id probably murder you if we ever chatted through an instant messenger haha... i flip letters, make up words, and use "lol" as a closing statement in every line i send ... lol

 

[My Own Little Corner]

I chose the mother of the baby to stay because she is a good source of milk. She is breastfeeding. The baby has to stay because that would not be right to let a baby go so early in life. Grandmom would have have to stay because she lived a good life and what an awful way to die after living all that time. I just couldn't do it. The Doc would have to stay, well he could help when they get sick. And the pregnant woman would have to stay , well because she is pregnant and you can't get rid of two lives in one swoop.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Chef.
Mechanic.
Teacher.
Professor.
Me.

I would kick off the oldest and the weakest. Sounds rough, but thats the only thing that will give the survivors a chance. If i happen to fall into any of those categories, I'd probably be kicked off too.

ETA: that baby would have to be gone too.

If you do that so often I'd probably get used to it xDD
I say lol a lot too on AIM, it's a good filler word


Shelby, aaaahhh you're thinking in the most logical way lol. None of class did that

 

[Princess Ash]

These are irritating to me because I would be SURE to find a way to save everyone!

Where there is a will, there is a way!!!

And sharks will not attacks you unless they are acting abnormally or smell/taste blood...sooooo...if you really want to be realistic about the situation

BOOOOOO EVIL!

Besides, if you can only have 5 people...a baby SOOO doesn't count as a full person!

I'm assuming the boat will sink b/c of weight limits? Or space issues?

Think about it!

As I said before...
Will = Way

 

[BandGeek911]

But I don't want to push anyone out of the boat!
And Ash is right, the baby is really not a whole person.
It counts as like...half a person...because of its size.

lets say we land on an island. you're going to need strong, able bodied people to work to save themselves. have you tried to build a shelter while nursing? Have you tried to keep a baby quiet while you're hunting for food?

its just not feasible.

 

[PowerMonkey]

all of this talk about letting babies die.... you guys are sooo off my boat haha

 

[AngelInDisguise]

We did this dilemma in Worldview last week. I just would like to see what your answers on.

You're on a lifeboat. The lifeboat can only hold 5 people. As of right now, it occupies 10 people. Who would you kick off the lifeboat?

This is who is on the lifeboat. You need to find 5 people to kick off.
A pregnant woman
A baby
The mother of the baby
Chef |||
Mechanic ||||
Professor ||||
Teacher |||
You |||
Your Grandmother |
Doctor |

I'll keep a tally of who people kick off

the moth of the baby
teacher
mechanic
my grandmother

 

[AngelInDisguise]

^ me

 

[PurpleDucky]

Jake, not if we kick you off first cough..

 

[marypops!]

easy i'd pull out the spare lifeboat i carry with me at all times in case of emergencies like this

hmm... i would suspect that the sinking ship will give off a distress signal so people can come and rescue others quickly. If the lifeboat could stay afloat before that time then just keep everyone on. If it can't then why is it floating now if we're all in it? What are the weights of everyone. Maybe the Chef has the same weight as 2 people leaving only 4 people on or maybe the Mechanic weighs half a person leaving a spare space for someone. Maybe it could be that not everyone can fit in this lifeboat. How long does it take for someoen to rescure you? if there is no rescue where is the raft going? who would we need if we land on an uninhabited island. Who would we need if the island was habited. What if the ship was close of shore already?

yeah i have no answer... just more questions to confuse you with...

I'll answer your questions starting with "If it can't then why is it floating now if we're all in it?"
The boat is in the process of sinking..dun duh dun
That's a little personal, don't cha think?
What if that isn't the case?
How long does it take for someone to push you off the boat?
Where isn't the raft going?
Shouldn't YOU answer that one?
You need to answer that too
What if it wasnt?

GEORGE YOU'RE THINKING TOO HARD ABOUT THIS xDDD

 

[marypops!]

but that's what makes a simple question like that more difficult!!! I need to know everything before i decide... don't ask me why because i can't choose...

 

[AngelInDisguise]

If only 5 people can get on it. How an there already be 10 people on it?

?????
