Here's a dilemma for you... With all your honor and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.
You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.
Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.
Suddenly you know who it is -- it's George W. Bush!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
And here's the question (please give an honest answer):
Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
Take a picture.

how many muslims are gonna be honest about this, they're gona go on their hatred for him and say "cheese".
I'd like to think i'd save him, i doubt i'd recognise him as George Bush coz ppl look different off TV and there's so much chaos i wouldn't be looking to ascertain his ID.
I'd also try to save him...but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. :?
well we could save him and then ransom him?
and take a sepia coloured snap? 
i wud ........... sa.... let him... nope i wud save him den kik da crap outta dubya den take a photo and say it was the hurricane
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
finally something Fanzo said i agree with. I would save him... then beat him to an inch of his life and throw him back out there... and blame it on the hurricane.

exactly maybe even pretend to save him and watch his pain in hospital :twisted: and if he survives and start a publicity stunt to twist my way in to gettin a withdrawal of troops tust me i could do it da perfect plan
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
Salaam
Colour.
Give me the option to save him, and I'd choose it. Where there's life there's hope.
Maybe then me and Dubya could go on a holiday to Baghdad together.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

im sure most of u in the cyber world would say let him die but in reality the muslim nature is to save him and i personally would and im sure most of you would aswell
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
I would save him...unfortunately.
Although him dying in that situation would be rather ironic, given he doesn't care about the environment and treated the ppl of New Orleans like crap... a case of what goes around comes back around.
mind your language please edit b4 recieving adminstator dicipline
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
There's nothing to edit.............is there? Lol. I don't think that's bad?
Cr... i got edited for writing
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
:shock: Oi! that is bad. Edit that. Now.

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
Lol, all this on a forum frequented by muslims, the MI5 must be on red alert right about now.
N we find it ironic wen media calls us crazy.
But seriously, Id save him n put him on a flight to Baghdad, n let the civilians there decide what they wanna do with him.
LOL

Some ppl make their goals the stars.
They may live n die n never reach the stars,
but in the darkness of the night, those stars will guide them to their destination.
Becuz they made them in their eyesight
i wudnt go dat far m15 maybe a small investigation from the police but thats all and its tru we shudnt take this opic too far even 4 a joke may i remind u of omar khyum dunno if i spelt it right but yh he lives in my area nd the sun wont leave him alone
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
Any person who parades around imitating a suicide bomber is ASKING for The Sun to badger him. They already seem to have a pre-determined agenda to portray Muslims in a negative light - actions like his only make their job easier..
These young folk need a bit of aql - difficult in a society where there arent many good Muslim role-models to learn from..
ps. i thought at first you were referring to another Omar Khyam thats in Belmarsh on Terrorism charges :? ironic, considering that the [i]original[/i] Omar Khyam lived a very simple, austere and modest life - only interested in worshipping Allah swt and his science..

May Allah shine sweet faith upon you this day and times beyond. May your heart be enriched with peace, and may your home be blessed always. Ameen.
I would save him if I could, and leave taking pictures for later. All compassion aside, the the kudos of photographing Bush going under would be incomparable to the rewards and media interest for having saved his life.

Yeah, but colour or black and white?

Pic always comes first.
think of the money if you fail in saving him?
It also gives you the time to ponder the ethics of the situation.
Joking aside, I doubt many people will consider the question of just leaving him. Unless they are real paparazzi, who can be subhuman.

You have quite a sharp personality. You should consider the bar.

wheres the dilemma :?:
now if you sed , you were stuck holding a tree amidst a flood and then you see a child floating away amongst the debris , if you let go and attempt to save the child you almost definately risk dying , but how can you live with yourself if you dont do nothing and let the child die , but if you do manage to grab the child your both be swept away and risk dying so what would you do :?:
Let the kid die.
I am not a fan of suicide.

I can't answer based on such a vague assessment of the risk.

thats a no too then
in that situation you have no time to way up the risks and when your in that state of terror your hypothalamus will pump out adrenalyn making your body think you are in extreme danger and your brain and body will tell you what ever you do dont let go of the tree
but you cannot control your emotions not even in that situation , imagine if that child was your own child , you would ignore the element of risk or danger and do all you can to save your child, but what if it wasnt your child would you still risk your life ?
and admin its not suicide if you risk your life to save another its bravery :!:
It's suicide if you know you will not save the child and die in the trying.
People can remain rational.
Otherwise they're that idiot in horror movies who runs off and get's everyone killed.

I'd like to think I'd go for the kid but if it was a snap decision and I was in 'fight or flight' mode I don't know.
Then again being mixed in the elements makes me more extroverted, if I was soaked I might just go for it.
