Poll: Kill one, kill a thousand, spare one, spare a thousand?

[JEBWrench]

Knock him out, throw him into ocean.

Win-win.

 

[imaloony]

I wouldn't kill him, but I wouldn't let him go. I'd pistol whip him and let the cops have him. Revenge isn't worth letting a thousand people die, but he still needs to do teh paying.

 

[hazabaza1]

You know, shooting him in the balls is always an option. Wouldn't kill him.
Just sayin'.

killing is easy just picture it like hunting a deer but much closer and easyer deer can smell you and hear you from quite far away.
human life is no less different than a animals we all die regardless.

Well, I'm talking more about the fucking bomb that kills one thousand people rather than just killing this one guy.

 

[NyteRaven]

If the bomb only got a thousand, then I wouldn't, the world though, then its a yes, oh god yes.

Is it just me or is that a bit fucked up?

you most likley would not have to see the deaths and there is little difference one life is the same as another life quantity has no meaning to killing you are still taking a life/s, by killing one person you know that you can kill hundreds.
is that messed up because i see life like that

Well, if you want to be all "edgy" and believe that you think like that, go ahead, but I don't think I'd be able to stand life with the knowledge that I've killed 1001 people,

 

[Baradiel]

Depends where the bomb is and who it's going to kill. And how much I loved my wife and if the children were mine

 

[Deviltongue]

I'd chain him to the back of my car, then drive til he's almost dead. Put him in the back seat, and nurse him back to health. Then Torture him til he's at the brink of death, then nurse him back to health again. I would do this for years, eventually I'd get bored and just kill him.

 

[PixieFace]

I'd like to say no, but... Honestly? In the heat of the moment, after witnessing all the horrors that fucker caused, I wouldn't even wait for him to finish up his damn monologue. I'd do the cliche revenge act and shoot his brains out until I'm clicking the trigger to an emptied, smoking gun. Should I die in the explosion, fine. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I could tolerate the rest of my life after it's been so royally fucked over. Something that traumatic and violating would never, ever leave you. Ever.

...Okay, I'm gonna go watch a family movie now. Happy thoughts! Happy thoughts!

what do you mean edgy this is how i see life, one life is no differnt from the rest.
i am reminded of that whenever i turn on the news or read the paper death is simply a part of life it happens all the time, i mean most of of my family have been shot at ive got a bullet wound in my leg from a nine millimetre

so how dare you bellitle my perspective when you've been shot at and seen peoples houses firebombed for no reason other than because they are different then you can talk untill then GO TO HELL

Wow, aggressive much? First off, I didn't even know you or your family had been shot at, and second, that wouldn't have changed anything. If you've had family members who've died, you should realise that death is bad.

In fact, tell me this, if some of the thousand people who were going to be killed were the rest of your surviving family, would you have the same attitude of "all death is the same" then? I very much doubt it.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Using the intimidation of gunpoint to take him to my house. Torture him.

 

[Xylis]

No loopholes, guys. Let´s say if his pulse goes over the normal(either by pain or the stress of going to prison, everyone dies.

That makes no sense at all.

First of all, a hundred things would set off the bomb then. He'd only need to get excited, do something physical, etc. Also, all bombs can be defused. But let's go with the assumption that this one cannot be - which according to the "pulse goes too high" rule means that the bomb will go off anyway pretty soon.

That scenario just isn't logical. Here's one that works a bit better for your purposes:

The premise is the same as in your scenario, but... Before you got a gun and begun to pursue the guy, he had managed to poison you with something that kills you slowly but surely. He also leaves a controller to the bomb nearby, while fleeing the other way.
You now have two options, corner the guy (we assume that he's slowed by something, perhaps a wound in the leg, so you know you'll be able to catch him easily) or stay and defuse the bomb (which will be easy but take too long to make it possible to catch the guy afterwards).
And because you are going to die soon, this is the only chance you get to confront him. You are also the only one who knows what he did, meaning he'll get away free for sure if you don't stop him.

This is flawed. By one thing. I have a gun. I shoot him in the legs. I then defuse the bomb, and then slowly limber my poisoned body towards the evil bastard and put a bullet in his brain as I collapse into my death. What a way to go.

Obviously the bomb is on a timer and the guy already has too much lead to make it possible to return and defuse the bomb afterwards.

I think you misunderstood. I don't need to be 3 feet away from him to hit with a gun. Thats the beauty of guns. You can shoot them from far away, and they still hit the target. Even if it would take too long to get back to the bomb, I would just shoot the bastard from afar then defuse the bomb.

 

[rpspartin]

I would let the guy go... I couldn't live with killing 1000 innocents. and unlike most people i am not going to sit there and loophole my way out and tourter the guy because morally i wouldn't be able to do that...

 

[AMMO Kid]

I'm getting sick of all these moral choice polls

 

[WrcklessIntent]

Yes i will shot him but not a fatal shot. Doesn't mean i can't pistol whip the ***** to.
