Poll: Your own life - Or ten strangers lifes?

[KaosuHamoni]

Myself. One life is not worth ten.

However, on the flip side, while I say that now, when put in a situation like that, I may do the exact opposite. The human instinct of self-preservation is bloody strong.

Sociopath powers activate!

Given that I wouldn't be able to live with myself after condemning 10 innocents to a horrible agonising death just to save my own worthless life (and anyone who would kill 10 innocents for otheir own benefit IS worthless) I'd freely kill myself to spare the other 10. And I have nothing but contempt for the currently 118 people who would kill them without a second thought. You're the ones who don't deserve to live.

You're face is fucking retarded beyond belief. You obviously didn't put a second of real-life thought into this, but instead spewed a bunch of knee-jerk idealistic bullshit. Then you responded with saying that all regular, human people deserve to die after so blindly defending 10 random strangers' rights to live. You can't argue your way out of how fuck-ass-backwards your reasoning is. I highly doubt you would sacrifice yourself, but even if you legitimately would, you derped yourself into a corner by condemning all those that aren't suicidal. Just try to put a little more thought into your posts.

Wow you really need to calm down. I was kidding with my original post hence the at the end. Not really sure how you get that all regular human people deserve to die from a sarcastic remark but I suppose your mind is clouded by the obvious anger you feel towards a random stranger on a forum?

Also read my first post where I did put thought into this topic where I said I would fall asleep from the stress of the situation and probably end up killing myself or the people by falling on a button or hitting it in my sleep.

I would kill the 10 strangers, but feel bad about it. However, if they were the 10 people closest to me, I would probably kill myself instead.

 

[gunheads]

Probably, Fire, Just because the will for self preservation is a big thing.

Burn baby, burn

 

[Agayek]

I'd more than likely just say fuck it and press neither. I'd spend my time figuring out a way to force myself out of my room.

This is tough
I don't think very highly of people
And I don't like myself very much either
The Idea of killing 10 random strangers is very pleasing to me
But then I'd still be stuck living with myself afterward
But I'm not a selfless person I wouldn't sacrifice myself
The thought of surviving something that could kill me makes me sick
plus those 10 random jerks would probably think I'm a hero or something
Oh thank god there's a BOTH option
Fuck those motherfuckers they're going down with me

 

[nicholaxxx]

as much as I'd like to say "10 people could do so much more than only I could ever dream of, so I'd sacrifice myself with no second thoughts" I really can't. I value myself as a person more than and random people on the street. Now if it were ten of my friends and family, that's be a different story.

 

[alimarin]

There is always a solution to save everyone and figure out who the hell put you in the situation anyway! (doesn't mean you will find the solution though.)

 

[jovack22]

Kill them and laugh while they are lit on fire while I walk away.

The kind of stuff children will say while their parents are not looking....

If you truly believe this, you should seek professional counseling because thoughts like these are not indicative of a healthy mental state of mind.

 

[Bobbity]

Ten strangers... Damn, that's hard. If it were people I knew and liked, I think I would give my life up for them. For my family, definitely. but strangers? Damn...

 

[Drummodino]

Sorry I like life too much. Bye bye randoms. I'll probs feel really bad but I think I'd be ok. Just sit in the corner looking away from them with my fingers in my ears humming to myself really loudly.

If I knew them though... I dunno what I would do. It's impossible to know until you're actually put in that situation.

 

[Nikolaz72]

Kill ten and live with the guilt.

Or let ten live and dont live on at all.

Tough question, i'd have to go with the first.

I dont know those ten people, and i enjoy living. My life does not have one set value, i value it above all else. Even above the life of ten strangers. I'd be able to live on thinking they would have done the same thing to me. But i'd still feel guilt.

 

[DSQ]

The other button will administer a lethal injection of let´s say...poison into your body. You won´t feel a thing, but you will die. The strangers however, will live on.

I'd push this button. I'll die painless, i couldn't kill somone.

 

[Betancore]

The only thing that keeps me from saying that I'd kill them without a second thought is the fact that I see them and hear them die and all that. Pretty traumatising. Still, people die every second of the day - I don't know who they are, and they'll die anyway. These ten people don't mean anything to me. I'd feel like shit afterwards, sure, but I'd concentrate on living a life worth living. If worse comes to worse, I can always kill myself afterwards. I have that choice. Eleven people dead. Means nothing in the long run.

 

[Kyoufuu]

Each of their lives is just as valid as mine, so ten of their lives is ten times as important as mine. If I was one of the ten, and nine of my friends were the others, I'd hope the one person chose to save the ten, so why would it be different if I was the one?

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

I wouldn't hesitate to torch 'em.

Cold maybe, but I blame working 3 years in retail. I have low tolerance for people. 0_o

 

[AvsJoe]

This would be a tough question for me if it were two lives for mine. But 10? Fuck, my life ain't worth that.
