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

[ABCs]

You are completely morphing the subject to suit how you view things. What was originally stated doesn't compare to what you are saying here.

Kind of like Jodi switched it from an animal and a human to two humans. So let me sit idly by as she dictates where this conversation goes. Sure thing guy.

 

[mike456]

Oh so now you think you are better than other humans? Is that what you are saying?

You don't seem to get what I'm saying do you?

I never said that! There is nothing wrong with me valuing my mother more than a stranger! And we were comparing creatures not humans! That does not mean that I think I am better than people. Better, and equal/not equal are 2 different Things!

 

[Jodi]

What your trying to get at is the emotional attachment. You are still contradicting yourself by saying all things are equal then saying you would save the human over the [insert retarded animal here]. The fact of the matter is that is ludicrous. No matter what you say or how you cut it. I value a humans life, and by the looks of this thread, alot of you don't. I would love to see if some guy was walking his dog down the street and saw one of your asses drowning or being fucking mugged and did nothing about it... and your ass got killed because that man or woman loved their ANIMAL more than a human. Then what would you say? Not much.

I wouldn't save a stranger over my dog, no, never. I am not contradicting myself. I was given a scenario of stranger or ant and I chose the stranger. All creatures are created equal, in my eyes. However, there are those that you, personally can relate to more on an emotional level. In the first scenario, my dog or stranger. My dog I have an emotional bond with. The second scenario, ant or a stranger. I chose stranger because I can relate more to the stranger than the ant.

Now if you took a 3rd scenario of stranger or his dog, I would choose the stranger. Again, because I can relate to this human more than his dog. Does this make sense?

 

[BigDyl]

Thank You. Some people are really slow around here. i mean, Jodi, you are a health frigg'n GENIUS. But I know now, never to take personal or humanitarian advice from you...

I sense sarcasm.


You're treading on thin ice son.

 

[tucker01]

Go back and read no one ever said they would chose an ant over the human.

 

[ABCs]

Never knew sarcasm was in the rules? Please, show me oh great Dyl.

 

[mike456]

that is torward ABC's right? lol please quote who you are talking to.

 

[Jodi]

Ah but you are saying it. Creatures humans what the difference. We are all animals.

Face it, you would save your mother over the stranger because of your emotional bond with her. Well, that's how I feel about my dogs.

 

[ABCs]

So your comparing your mother to your dog? I think she would love that one.

 

[KelJu]

You're changed the question. You changed it to be two humans and not a human/animal question. If it came down to two humans, I'd make a decision based on my personal preference for each. If it was a human and animal, there would be no need for comparisons. The animal would die.

And there is nothing wrong with that, because that is your personal set of ethics.

Seems like some people don't like other people's personal beliefs. This thread has started a war.

"save the pet vs. the save the human"

Who really gives a shit? I don't. I don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks of my beliefs, and maybe everyone in this thread could do well be also not giving a shit what other people think of their beliefs.

This could be a fun thread where people take another person's perspective into consideration, or we could fight like children.

Little sensitive are we. Jodi is far from dictating any conversation. Again read the conversation. No one stated they would chose a random animal over a human life.

 

[mike456]

I never said there is anything wrong with saving your dog over a human, and I know that is why I would save my mother!

 

[Jodi]

Well, to be honest, yes I would save my dog over my mother. I haven't spoke to my mother in ages. She didn't want me so why would I save her?

 

[BigDyl]

So then we are not equal to a frigg'n ANT.

An ant works to support the colony. You are self serving.

So yes, an ant is morally superior.

Just to put it out there, I never said there is anything wrong with saving your pet over a stranger.

 

[Jodi]

I never said there is anything wrong with saving your dog over a human, and I know that is why I would save my mother!

Then do you understand why I would save the stranger over the ant then?

 

[tucker01]

So your comparing your mother to your dog? I think she would love that one.

Is english your second language? She made no comparison between her mother and her dog. She did make a point about her bond with her dog like it was a family member.

I think it's a pretty good conversation/debate. You learn a lot about a person when in a heated state.

HAHAHA

You just don't see it, do you?

 

[BigDyl]

I never said there is anything wrong with saving your dog over a human, and I know that is why I would save my mother!

I'd save your mom. But for different reasons.

 

[tucker01]

You just don't see it, do you?

What is there to see you twisting the statements?

 

[mike456]

Then do you understand why I would save the stranger over the ant then?

I would also save a stranger over a stranger ant! but you said all creatures are equal! I never said that!

 

[ABCs]

I'd save your mom. But for different reasons.

Very classy.

 

[KelJu]

Just to put it out there, I never said there is anything wrong with saving your pet over a stranger.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I do believe I quoted my good friend DOMS's comment.

 

[BigDyl]

Very classy.

Can't say the same about your mom...

 

[mike456]

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I do believe I quoted my good friend DOMS's comment.

that's why I said "Just to put it out there", sorry for the confusion

 

[Jodi]

I was trying to make a point to give an example about how I feel about my pet's life. Many of you don't view pets over humans so to give an understanding about how I feel about my pets, I used a human figure that shows love and compassion. This was just to get my point across and nothing more.

 

[tucker01]

I would also save a stranger over a stranger ant! but you said all creatures are equal! I never said that!

Good lord is reading comprehension not important in todays society. Jodi already stated she would choose the stranger human over a random animal. Why because of the possible emotional connection. We are from the same species there would be some sort of connection there.
