Would You Kill For Your Child?

I do have a child but I think in this scenario you are trying to blur the definition of what "protect" them means.

Basically, in Saltman's scenario the Devil himself could approach you and say your child is gonna die of a natural cause on Friday....if you set a preschool on fire killing everyone your child will live. You are trying to blur that as the samething as shooting someone trying to molest your kid or something.

If look at all possible scenarios that could be included in Salts question.....I still think people are answering yes too quickly.

Nope.

No blur.

In his scenario I am given a choice, murder someone (unknown guilt/innocence/whatever) and that murder saves my child's life, or do not commit murder and my child dies.

Simply put, I value the life of my child over the lives of anyone else.

Period.

Thought I made that pretty clear.

I said one person...I didnt say 1000 or 1 million.

yeah, I know you did. But if you are willing to kill 1 then you gotta kick it up a notch to find out people's limits.

IMO, if you are willing to kill one random person....why does the number matter?

CRA, it would need to be situational....can't answer that question

ok, I will try.

You are informed your child will die in a month(you don't know how or why).

You are told if you kill random children (plural) put in front of you with no questions asked.....your child will live. Are you willing to do that?

Numbers always matter.

If you are asking a new hypothetical, define it.

I can't even type the nursery school scenario, and people might not want to hear my answer to that one, and I don't even like where I would go with it.

I guess I fail to see why numbers matter if this scenario.......so you can murder one person without hesitation but if asked to do several there is hesitation? If you are willing to randomly kill you should be able to randomly kill......

true. I tend to over think and expand scenarios......you are probably right. No good one come of those questions most likely.

Yes. I would definitely kill to save the life of my child, most of my relatives and anybody I served with.

I would probably kill a relative to save the life of my child also.

Would I enjoy it?

History being a good teacher says it would have the same effect on me emotionally and psychologically as smashing bug.

People tend to look at mass murders in a much different light then a person who killed one person. Do you not? Do you consider Hitler the same as a man who shot his wife?

Killing one person could be situational.

Killing 20 hookers makes you a serial killer.

Killing 2000 random people makes you a terrorist.

So yeah, I think numbers matter.

And yeah, keep upping the ante and I'm still all in.

I guess that is my point, I think if you up the ante you have to still be in if you say yes to the intital question asked.

but if up the number to 20...the same thought rational should apply. The "I put my child before all other life".

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
