Important Ethics Question

Post Reply New Topic

Note: I did not create this scenario or ethics question, and I don't know who did. I came across it the other day, and thought I would share it with all of you. Read on:

**************************************************************************

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.


You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer... somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under... forever.

You have two options -- you can save the life of George W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

:wack:

edit: sorry I had to

I would save his life

Being without my glasses at the moment because they've broken in earlier chaos, I would reach and pull the guy into the boat, not realizing who it was. It doesn't really matter who it is. A person is a person and they would deserve another chance at life.

It seems to me that most of you are missing the point. It's not actually an ethics question. For comedic purposes, it has to be posed as a serious question, not what it actually is. It's a liberal joke.

*sigh*

If you replaced that with Ted Kennedy, George Galloway, or even Kofi Annan I might be more interested

edit: I forgot Hillary Clinton

Going with the joke, I'd say black and white.

Hahaha... I would just start clicking away. No time to check the film!

I would drag him into the boat and head for Cuba... Let the twat make his own way back

I would probably save the bastard, and then immediately regret it!! !!

color!
