Moral Dilemmas - What would you do and why?

[Master]

As an upstanding citizen of the community and role model to my children I would give it all back.

Your reputation should be worth more than a few bucks.

I’d run to the omega store buy a new speedy and bring back twenty bucks saying it got caught in my windshield wiper, unless they had my license plate on film then I’d act like a model citizen and bring it back. But if they didn’t have an exact tally they wouldn’t get it all back

[Spicoli]

If I knew the source or saw it falling off the truck I wouldn't touch it. If however there's just sudden money laying on the highway I'd get out and go into a theatrical over the top praising skyward yelling 'now I can afford the surgery' or something. Assume you're being filmed. And ffs grab off the grass under the guard rail as it's not blowing around and it's bunched up , pocket it. Take minimal..don't linger scooping up singles for the camera. Approach the person filming empty handed asking is this divine intervention and what is going on with this face . If you pull up in a bucket and the first thing you think of is paying off bills, keep it.

I think I would wait until the police came to me, saying they know I took some of the money.

I would demand they show me their CCTV evidence and I would study it closely......


making careful note of all of all the other number plates and people there too, so I could track them down and mug or burgle them. They couldn't exactly report it as a crime, could they? Seeing as they shouldn't have had any of that money anyway?

I think i would grab armfuls of it on the basis that money is not real anyway. I would suggest to anyone who wanted it back that it was FIAT money anyway and there was no way enough gold or other Government backed commodities to give it any intrinsic value and so giving it to them would amount to me defrauding them or at least being an accessory to them giving it back out to people and pretending it was worth anything. I may have another theory when using it to pay bills and things though.

MORAL DILEMMA 2

So this is hypothetical.

There is a bomber.

He has planted a series of bombs that will kill many people in a crowded place

He will not tell you where he has planted them and you only have hours to defuse them so usually the dilemma would be

Do you torture him until he reveals where the bombs are thereby saving many other lives?

The trouble is your over enthusiastic sidekick has already tortured him...a bit too much and she has killed him before he could divulge info, so the dilemma now is,

The guy who died, you have now found out, left the codes to defuse each bomb with 10 different people. None of these people know that they have the codes, or what they are for, but they have been hypnotized to not tell anyone what the codes are. You can not deprogram them . The only way to get the codes is to torture them.


You have narrowed the numbers down so that you now know that among the 25 people you have in custody who knew the dead bloke are the 10 with the codes.

Do you torture all 25 in order to save many, many more?

[Master]

I would shag the over enthusiastic sidekick.

I would then time travel back and follow the man to see where he placed the bombs and dispose of the bombs accordingly.

I will be a hero and shag the over enthusiastic sidekick again.
