Would you choose to save the life of your pet(that you've had for years)or a stranger

^save your pet or a random person from death

edit (serious)
You are near some railroad tracks and a 21ish year old guy passes you while you are walking your pet. He has his mp3 player up extremely loud and doesn't hear you when you say "Hi" but he waves and keeps on jogging. Your pet(lets assume dog) gets away from you and runs down the track the opposite way of the jogger to invesigate a dead armadillo on the tracks(ie rolling on it etc). Suddenly a speeding train comes around the corner at about 55 mph. Do you run to save your dog or run to warn the jogger which is in the opposite direction of your dog and you won't have time to save both.

and I guess I also have to add this(some people look too deeply into things)...the train driver is asleep and/or doesn't honk for some reason and your dog is not moving(I've seen dogs hit by trains before). Also the guy is deaf and is distracted by a hot girl billboard by the road

What race is the stranger?

**largepkg** · 02-03-2007, 08:06 PM

mp3 listening deaf dude would have to die. He's obviously up to some shady shit being a deaf guy with headphones on.

It would depend on what the person looked like and if anyone else was around.

Not to mention that this mental midget is jogging on railroad tracks with his mp3 player screaming in his deaf ears. Because he's a shady retard the laws of Darwinism say the dog lives ... for the betterment of mankind.

The people who chose their pet are scum and the people who chose to save a fellow human are humanitarians.

I wouldn't know that by simply walking down the street and seeing a human in trouble. Unless molesters and murderers started wearing signs and I wasn't informed.

I don't have a pet, so I don't know if I am eligible to answer this one, as I know several pet owners who are very attached to their pets ("treats them as family"). However, I don't see how anyone could choose their dog over a person.

I would save my pet any day, why does human life hold more wait than any other life?

Especially considering that you know you have a cute harmless animal versus a potential thief, murderer, rapist... Causes much more pollution, etc etc.

I'm scum ... but my ferret would get saved over the dumbass. Besides ... only a Democrat would stand on railroad tracks and expect strangers to save him from his own actions ... or lack of them. I've only one ferret ... we have too many Democrats.

Amen to that.

**goandykid** · 02-03-2007, 09:22 PM

I would instinctively save whichever one was closest to me... my pet. Also, the human has a better chance of surviving on his own than the dog IMHO.

Damn straight. It's just pure arrogant to think human life is worth more.

Pet wins, hands down.

Hmmm Godhand liked to steal threads from BB.com and post them over here?

**Little Wing** · 02-04-2007, 09:32 AM

i'd throw a handful of rocks at the jogger and save my cat. if the jogger is too far away to hit with a rock then i can't run fast enough to get to him before a speeding train, and i'm already closer to my cat.

**Prince** · 02-04-2007, 09:45 AM

I would have to put a human life about that of an animal.

**BigDyl** · 02-04-2007, 09:54 AM

The question depends on if it were:

1. a normal mortal

2. me.

**BigDyl** · 02-04-2007, 09:55 AM

The correct answer is throw the cat at the person and hopefully hit them with it.

At which point the person turns around to look at you, and leaves his back to the train. Stranger and cat become railroad kill.

No. Wrong. It's multiple choice:

a) Save the Pet.

b) Save the person.

c) Forget the person and the pet. You're far too busy tying Bigdyl to the railroad tracks, doing the world an almighty favour in the process.
Surely worth sacraficing 'Benji' the dog and unimportant runner#1 for.

**ABCs** · 02-04-2007, 10:35 AM

It's amazing how many inhumane people we have around here. If you saw a person fucking drowning, begging for their life and some worthless MUT, you would honestly save the dog? You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

I don't think a human life is worth anymore than animals, all things being equal. It's typical human arrogance to think otherwise.

So, who would you pick to live, your mother or your dog?

"Equal" my ass.
