@ Walker and BlackIce
Try to keep up with the topic guys, our current ethics question should be in the last two pages.
orly?
One well-known and frequently discussed example of an ethical dilemma is given by Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre asks us to imagine a young man who lives with his mother; he is her only happiness in life. But the young man lives in occupied France during World War II and feels obliged to fight in the war.
knowing that going to war might send your mother's stress level above normal and could kill her because she has hypertension (high blood pressure) and high blood pressure coupled with stress many times induces a stroke.
aight go for it
That's the topic I was following, and it can be found at the top of Pg. 31. Where were you?

I was about to say, mr walker was actually responding to the right question.
If these people came into my house, and were goin gto take me and my friend, why would i hid ein the closet. The first action should be like get a weapon and call police or something. I would rather die fighting then mercilessly be dragged out of my house
no.
The guy is being a pervert... Took me a little while to figure that out because my mind apparently hasn't been dragged around in such swill as his.
no, hes not being a pervert, he is just being dumb he obviously knew what the topic meant (I mean he even commented on it and said the right topic)
he just made the obvious decision to troll.
and what do we do to trolls? ignore them. which is why I didnt respond to it in the beginning.
rule of thumb is don't feed the trolls.
anyway to the rest of you people who responded and didnt spam/flame/troll thanks very much.
new question goes up tomorrow

This is usually true, however sometimes we need a short recess from intellectual endeavors and troll hunting is a praise worthy past time :D

I've put my life at risk for the safety of others in the past, and would hope things never came to cannabilistic armies occupying my homeland.
I would have died fighting these people eaters long before i hid in a closet so the question doesn't really pertain to me.
but to humor the question "if" i'd have to say i'd jump out.

trolls give you aids. and I don't like getting aids.
sometimes trolls can be disguised and seemingly be a "overly philosophical *sshole"
such as the person who wrote this

This is not a realistic question, as why would there be only you? In a true scenario there would be several medics as well as several police officers. Ill just ad "Non realistic" to my list... Plus, you would be able to save both if your cleaver enough or if the situation allows it...
The probable ethical thing to do would be to grantee the safety of the man. Considering you have to be bleeding rather heavily to die, especially from one wound, then he must be gushing blood several feet. By the way, how did he get a neck wound in a car crash? Anyway, since you seem to be alone it would be pointless to try and save your wife, since you don't have backup and you don't seem to have tools. Call it an early divorce.
But of course logically in a true scenario not only would you always to to save both people, but you would have more people who would be trained in the field of medicine, plus the ambulance full of medical tools. You would be able to save the man and have a chance of saving your wife. This should go into the game forum, as it has no bearing I can see on the WEPR....
in my last question.
sadly to say the troll bites the hand that feeds it. you get angry ect. whatever. which is why I've developed a policy to not feed trolls. because once you get bitten you just want to hit something. but you can't b/c you want to do bodily harm to the person. so which is why I stopped caring/feeding trolls
:) enjoy

Ah, first time on AG forums, apologies for not answering the right question:
I'd just let her know gently that i'm going and it's just the way things have to be. if she's not at all reasonable and forces me to stay then i'd simply work at home to help the war effort...repair guns, dig through junk for goods, donate goods like wood and cloth to help the locals, build bombs, etc.

So you are being a hypocritical, idiotic, troll by trolling said "troll"?

You are also a hypocritical, moron, troll by trolling someone you think is a "troll"

Didn't I make it clear that I didn't think that person was trolling?
Trolling: a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community
The person in question was not entirely off topic, was not extraneous in their remarks (although they were taking the situation given out of context) and did not seem inflammatory. Simply put, the response was not trolling per se, but simply an ignorant albeit heroic effort at debating a query prior to an attempt at a response.
Am I hypocritical? In what sense?
And I'm a moron as well? Let's look at that one more closely:
Moron is a controversial term once used in psychology to denote a category of mental retardation. (Specifically to describe someone with a mental age between the ranges of 8 and 12 years.) The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement.
Please enlighten me as to how I am a moron?

Not completely so, but you still trolled them after stating that it was a negative thing to troll.

By trolling after you stated it was improper.
And I'm a moron as well? Let's look at that one more closely:
It seems like an appropriate thing to call you, considering you called said person a moron.
