Friday's moral dilemma.

Ok you cant add or take out a thing. No what if's allowed. Its an a or b decision with no alternatives.

You are walking down the street in a foreign country and two government documentation approach and ask in a (you cant refuse kind of way) to accompany them to the enclosed and walled government building court yard.

When you walk through the gate its closes behind you and there are 100 people standing in a line up with a man with a gun at each end.

Two other men approach holding a pistol. They instruct you that you have a choice to make for them.
If you kill 1 of those 100, they will let 99 go free but if you the tourist do not kill 1 they will kill all 100.
You cant refuse to take part.

???

I'd let them kill the hundred, I'd assume they're all peadophiles, then tell the officers to stop wasting my time and give me directions to the nearest drinking establishment as that's where I was headed when I got rudely interrupted.

So long as there were no come backs I'd happily blow 1 away and save 99. I dont think I'd give two shits either.

I would not kill, it is obviously a Candid Camera set up.

Like Memphis....

Flash Gordon style... "a rational transaction, one life for billions"

99 but same kinda thing :)

Id see it as saving 99 lives not killing 1 ;)

Id toss the shooter back , Bell Fenster and get on piss with him.

Only get to shoot one :(

I would not accompany two Government agents anywhere. I'd rip off my pants, fall to the street and shriek rape while bursting into tears and trying to shart myself!

I would kill one..

Probably take the gun,check how many shots i got in there, to shoot one.
Then put on the big act, :o "Oh fuck sorry :embarassed: was he one of yours"?
While yelling Im waving the gun around which probably would accidentally go off another three times, cause i have no clue.

I would put the gun back in their hand point it at my head and leave at least one with a guilty conscience but then I like jam.

Hopefully, Finito would be standing in line.

Yup you are morally obligated to kill one.

Lol."You made the right choice Mr. Smith but now you will spend 20 years in a Turkish prison"

I don't like the situation as it is extremely improbable, but if the two options were the only viable ones, I would have to limit the harm, so would likely shoot the one person. In saying that, I don't know how I would choose the person to shoot. Actually, it makes me feel bad even thinking about having to select a person to shoot. It would almost be like being a central banker with all these people at my mercy. If time were no object I would go through the people, finding out their line of work etc. Surely one of these people would be in a line of work that I consider questionable and so that person would take the bullet. I don't want to take a life, but if it is a banker or an economist, I could sleep more easily knowing that I did some good.

In that case I would shoot the Tory MP.

You cant change anything Gandalf. No room for spin. You either kill one and leave with 99 or none and leave 100 dead.

One.
