Poll: Your own life - Or ten strangers lifes?

[Arcane Azmadi]

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.

OK Kefo, I suspected you may have been kidding, but I don't have much of a sense of humour when there are so many people casually but sincerely bragging that they'd murder 10 innocents in a horrifying and agonizing way rather than accept a painless death themselves. The poll results in this topic have made me rather ill, not to mention fucking angry.

And hey, Mr Wannabe-Vampire-Badass-Number-Eight-Hundred-And-Thirty-Two, don't you DARE call me a hypocrite and don't you DARE put words in my mouth. You made up that shit that supposedly "derped me into a corner" out of nowhere; I didn't "condemn everyone who isn't suicidal", but I have no tolerance for evil-minded fucks who can honestly say they wouldn't feel even a twinge of conscience about murdering 10 innocents, no matter what the circumstances. I can understand and even forgive people who picked the second option ("let the others die but feel horrible about it) but anyone who attempts to cite any pseudo-Darwinist bullshit to justify the level of casual evil selfishness inherent in the first one doesn't qualify as human in my books and quite frankly doesn't deserve the life they were gifted with.

So yeah, 140 genuinely evil people voted in this thread by now. Makes me sick to my stomach.

We kill over 10 million animals, or more each day, so why not just go with your survival instincts?

I...I'm sorry....

I couldn't resist:

Strangers strangers all the way. Damn i am way too important to die just like that.
Even if they are randomly picked the probability that more than one of them is as useful, educated and trained is pretty low in utilitaristic sense. The state invested a ton of money in me, we can't waste that.

 

[Kefo]

Ok mental note
3am + genetics homework = me not remembering what the hell I am posting lol

 

[Axzarious]

If no other viable alternative presented itself, I would kill them, but most likley not be happy about it.

 

[Lord_Nemesis]

I thought I was going to be the odd bastard out but was quite relieved after I voted. Ye, ten strangers that I didn't know? Not a chance, I wouldn't even hesitate. Always ran my life on the "Look after me and my own" policy. Sorry strangers!

 

[RicoADF]

They're strangers. I'd feel bad about it, but as long as no-one finds out it was me, I would quite willingly push the fire button

Under that circumstance you'd be legally immune, you had a 'gun' pointed at your head per say, and thus even if it got out you'd be safe (from the law).

Idk what I'd do, I'd like to think that I'd sacrifice myself but reality is more likely to watch them burn and hope I can live with it.

You would be legally immune but imagine the hell everyone else would make your life if news got out about what you did regardless of circumstances.

Thinking about it I think I would take the painless death then the horrible beatings you would endure from people thinking you are a monster

 

[Biosophilogical]

Well if I can hear what they are saying, and seeing as they are ten strangers stuck in a strange room, I'd imagine they'd be talking to each other enouhg for me to tell if they are worth saving. I mean, if all they talk about is themselves, or they do a melodramatic "I have a family" speech, then chances are they are bad parents/loners/whatever, so I'd save myself, but if my time observing them convinced me that their lives had value then I'd kill myself (I'm assuming that in this hypothetical there is the guarantee that whoever is saved would be guaranteed freedom). However, I'm assuming the purpose of this was not to first get a somewhat limited isight into their value, but rather to consider tehm as 'strangers', competely and utterly, in which case, I'd kill them then dedicate my life to saving others.

 

[WolfThomas]

Push both buttons at once. Hopefully it will short the system and free us both. Or kill us all...

 

[Haxxle]

Kill the strangers to save another ten afterwards

 

[FrostyChick]

I would probably kill the strangers even if my life wasn't in danger. >.>

I don't know about where you live, but over here people aren't so violent against others & quick to throw a punch. And sad as it is, the fact it was all guys (going by the topic start) would make it less of an issue, 10 girls and you'd be screwed (which shows the sexist nature against men in this day and age, it's just flipped from girls to guys being the under dog)

I dunno, I think there are probably other options than playing along. The eleven of us could probably work something out better than just me.

Failing that, though, them. I don't know them, they might be good people, they might be assholes, most likely it's a relatively even mix. If it's people I knew and cared about it's an entirely different story, but as is I'm weighing the people that depend on me against the hypothetical people that may or may not depend on them. And, yeah, I'd kill for the people who depend on me. Click.

It's worrying how selfish people can be...

Myself, hesitantly, but myself.
