Moral Dilemmas - What would you do and why?

[Beanz]

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?

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.

Man that one escalated quickly . I was just going to torture the over enthusiastic sidekick.

So bomber dead. Obviously we don't know how much time we're working with but are assuming time enough to torture 25 people? I knew a guy once torture might go days . And if they're hypnotized but they don't know they have the codes in the first place , that's a toughie. Hate to be that guy but I'd just evacuate the building-place given the time window .

I’d just torture beanz for putting such a stupid thing in writing

I actually like the premise, its far from stupid. Will have to think it over.

[Fenster]

Hmmm... to torture a couple/few unlucky bods to save the lives of others isn't really a dilemma at all... unless the crowd being blown up are nonces/peados/animal torturers/snowflakes?

Is that the twist? We don't know who we're saving?

Stop drinking we talked about this

Your jokes are bad enough. I can't imagine anything being much more painful than them.
