LookingToSee

you have the power to either save your brother from the sinking ship, or save all of the other people on the boat except your brother.

discuss.

I'd save the pretty cabaret dancer...

Apparently it's very easy for psychopaths to make such decisions.

Anyway, Why can't you save everyone incl your brother? 😛

TPOS — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 - 16:58

It seems like an easy decision to make - ofcourse the rest of the people. But if I was actually in that position, who knows...

Can we cheat by making one of them be imaginary?

Either the brother.... or the others.. or even the boat.

but u dont know the other people! i woulda thought that the brother would be the obvious choice. but it doesnt rlly feel selfish to me (yet anyways)

Quite the predicament indeed.

If you saved everyone else how could you live with letting your brother die. I mean how are you gonna face your mother and what if he had a wife and kids. You'd be hating yourself every time you saw his kids and now they'd be struggling to make ends meet and it's all because of you.

However if you saved your brother you'd have a lot more guilty concience from the relatives of theirs. They're bound to have kids and other responsibilities. How many lives are you willing to ruin?

You're the worst person in the world whatever you do.

Im not getting on this stupid boat to begin with

Bilan — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 - 23:30

[quote=MuslimBro]Can you just save yourself and no-one else?[/quote]

you'll be able to save yourself in any case. but you have a choice (assuming your goodness extents that far) to also save your brother (think about your little brother!) or the rest of the boat (loads of people to do dawah to, i promise! no salafis, and cause you save them, higher chance of them being interested in Islam, if you let them die, their last thought might be quite a negative one towards Islam)

Bilan — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 - 12:29

[quote=Lilly]If you dont save anyone. Can you sentenced to murder? (or homicide)?[/quote]

no, i dont think you can be, but if i WAS gonna save the people on the boat i dont think i woulda done it cos of Dawah....

You — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 - 14:30

No witnesses, so not much evidence to convict you.

For me, it would be easy, since any sibling would be imaginary, I save the rest.

LOL

But I agree with Bilan - If I was to save the others it wouldn't be cuz I wana do dawah to them. (Why can't they be Muslim anyway? lol)

And I don't think their last thoughts would be of Islam being bad or whatever.

Because in such a time, people forget their differences and come together and help each other. It doesn't matter if you're brown, white or yellow, English or not.
THERE ARE PEOPLE DYING, YOU MUST TRY AND SAVE THEM. Whoever you can.

oh gawd..i see the link

can someone fill me in the racist stuff?

and my last post was really specifically targeted at MB. the whole dawah stuff, he wears the thawb, the beard = Islam, represents Islam. letting people die= doesnt look nice..

btw: disclaimer: i aint a salafi. Im just not a hanafi/hanbali/shafi'i/maliki/etc.. either.
