Thread: You Or 10 Others?

morally, ofcourse, is letting yourself die, and the 10 other people live...

but personally, i'd say that i'd choose to live myself...

just because i like living... and you never know who those 10 people are...

Well, I think just about everyone would pick themselves over 10 uknowns to be honest. I think a better question would be something harder like you or your best friend, your love ones, etc. That would be more complicated scenario.

I'd definitely want to live. Other people die everyday.

I'd chose to live, however I'd wonder, do they have the same choice and I'm one of the unknown 10?

Screw 10 other unknown bitches!!! I would want to live!

Maybe if i knew who the other 10 were or read a profile (documentry) of their lifes. But with no knowleg it would just be another one of millions that die. Even so, i might still pick life

Can you prove that anyone else exists?

I tend to see life as my own creation. I don't think I'm god, but at the same time, the way I see it, everything is based on my perception. The only reason this forum exists is because I think it exists. The 10 people in the afformentioned scenario exist because I believe they exist. They die if I think they die, and they live if I think they live.

The way I see it, I'm not really sending this message to anyone, but rather I'm sending it to the internet that I believe exists. And all the other members of this forum exist because I believe they exist.

That sounds repetitive, but it doesn't matter. I don't think anyone will mention it.

Or will they?

Oh, and I would choose the 10 other people, if that wasn't obvious.

Life can't be your creation when it's already mine! Your only here cause of my perception. The only reason this forum exists is cause I'm on it. The 10 people don't really exist therefor they can't die and you cannot make them live cause there not.

Oh yes you really sent that message so it don't matter what you believe cause this forum exists nomatter what you can conjure.

Oh by the way those 10 people don't exist, but your very courageous to die for the 10.

Oh By the way hi.

You are all making me sick. I sincerely hope that none of you are sincere.

Wow, I can't do this anymore. I think I'm done with this forum.

In a heart beat, hell Id do the same with almost any amount of people as long as I did not know them. Selfish I know but my life is all about me really. I gain nothing from the sacrifice and lose consciousness forever [ If infact there is no after life]. Doesn't seem like much of a choice to me.

No, the existance of others but oneself cannot be proven.

Personally I believe there is a possibility the others around me not being real, but I believe they most likely are as real as me.

So you would rather die than let 10 strangers die? Explain why please.

I know proper morals are 'giving you life for 10 people'.

But my instinct and ratio says: 'Live'.

Tru-dat.

I third.

I'd choose to live. It's just... not a decision for me. I believe the human instinct towards self-preservation is just too strong.

Your signature is freaking hilarious.

Thanks. I had to resize it though (ever so slightly) because Burns told me off. It's still over limit, but less over-limit now.

Everyone seems to be acting like they would hate to die. Sure... you might love living, but you can't actually hate being dead. You can appreciate being alive, but cannot be sad dead. Lets see, a reason why someone might want to "let 10 others" live is really to think about the damage it would cause on the people that they knew. 10 other entire families and groups of friends having someone in their life die is much worse than having me die. I assume you mean in a "drop dead" sort of way, because there is more of a "self-preservation" aspect to it when it comes to dieing in a painful way. I am not "emo" or anything when putting out these opinions. I have millions more things I look forward to in life and am excited for when they come. But you can't think "wow, if I don't get the chance to do that because I die I would be sad." This is not a legitimate thought. I would love to travel - but I wouldn't be sad that I didn't travel if I was dead. I wouldn't want myself to die because I want to do so much more... but I really think that 10 people dieing would cause much more grief than one.

I'm not saying I would die, though. If someone said they would kill me or 10 people... I would probably hurt the person. I don't negotiate in those situations

What if the peole were (I know most are dead but anyway...)
1.)Hitler
2.)Osama bin Laden
3.)Dracula
4.)Saddam Hussein
5.)George Bush
6.)The Anti Christ
7.)The Double Anti Christ
8.)The super secret Anti Christ
9.)A ghost
10.)The guy who invented Curling

If that was the case i would absolutley choose myself

Im sure you would too... Dont even say you wouldnt

Id probably let 10 people die... I dont really have to think about it.

I would sacrifice myself so that the others may live and this is why:

In my seeking I have found only one truth. To exist is to suffer. I would see the ending of my own life a release from my personal suffering. It just happens that my beliefs go hand in hand with what could be deemed as morality. I would feel great joy from sacrificing myself for ten unknown others and I would take even greater joy in ending my suffering on this earth.

And Blue, to quote Neruo, you signature rocks. :yumdumdoodledum:
