ok peeps, there is no wheedling of the situation lol. it's a or b. we got this crap on a sheet today and we had 15 seconds to come up with an answer because that was the time alotted in the scenario. why? to make you think i guess...its a class on morals which is ridiculously stupid because opinions are subjective, but i guess its my viagra, an easy *** booster.

It's a class on morality, but they give you only two concrete choices?

I would point that fallacy out to the instructor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I picked A, mainly because I think the chances of actually living or saving your daughter would be greater. Also, you could always take the gun.. shoot & miss your daughter.. say it was an accident and try to buy some time.. (thus allows the neighbors to call the cops for peace disturbance)

If they hand you the gun to shoot the daughter only one of them would be armed. Take out the one holding the gun on you first.

well, lets assume that phoneman is one of the guys. think he's carrying one gun? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i would kill my daughter, then kill them, then kill myself... i couldn't see my daughter or anyone of my blood for that matter go through that, especially if they were just going to die anyway

I would go with b... But, what if they did, and then they killed you both? Theres so many possibilities as to what could happen in a situation such as that one.

i would still try to kill them. if i'm going out, i'm going out shooting.
and why is your class asking you such fvcked up questions?

which is why i decided to ask cause i couldn't think of a good way around the system. because if u DO go out shooting, then they'll kill you and do whatever they want with your daughter.

i like these questions

it kind of defeats the purpose if people think of alternate ways around it, you should think of it as those being the only two ways and that there can be no more variables/options.

which is tough to do when you think of that actually happening

and yes i know my response was shitty

The end result is the same with both of you dying. Whether you pull the trigger or someone else does it is irrelevant. Logic dictates choice A because you are in essence saving her from the trauma of being *****, and you are saving yourself from having to witness it. The thing that I am completely lost on is the whole moral question this class is supposedly putting forth because all I see is a logic problem.
