[Debate] A Question to your own HUMANITY - Would you KILL to LIVE ? [ MATURE USERS ONLY ]

[I Don]

It's been a couple of days since I'm asking myself this question over and over again. And finally I came to an answer.

Say you and someone is in a serious predicament that involves Life and Death situation. It's either you or him. Only one of you can actually survive or live. You both have a gun with one bullet in it. And to survive all one needs to do is pull the trigger aiming at the other. So....will you pull the trigger first or....?

Also explain how will you feel if you chose the latter decision?

NOTE -

Spoiler

This is a serious debate thread. No trolling and no spam either.

MY ANSWER

Spoiler

I'll without a doubt in my mind, pull the trigger. Whether he is innocent, murderer, my family member, etc. there is nothing stopping me from actually killing him. I won't feel anything either, I don't feel anything either in the first place. In a way, I ended his/her suffering in a way. I know this because I've already been in such a situation and already had taken her life. Maybe I'm just too heartless.

Do you have any relation to the other person?

 

[Jack Skellington]

It Depends.
It Depends on what i Know about that Person.
if it Was a Close Friend.
I would Kill myself.
If it was a Douchebag,I Would Killed him.
A Stranger?I would talk with him first.

 

[The Amazing Spider Man]

Depends. If that person where say a Doc Ock then yes. I would do what I have to do.

 

[Goetia]

It depends on the person, though nobody deserves to die. If it was anyone I cared about, I would die so they would live. If they were one who had committed unforgivable atrocities or something of the like, I would kill them.

 

[Dantе]

if he was someone very close i would not pull my trigger

 

[Meee]

Depends on who it is, id probably do it I mean I wouldn't want to but i don't want to die, haha

I honestly think you need to actually be in the situation to know for sure tho.

you'd talk with a stranger? wouldn't you be worried he might just pop you?

 

[Chihaya]

I honestly think I would let him shoot me. I'm just not as brave as a person to do something like that. Or possibly, because of the adrenaline pumping, you could do things you never thought you would, so I might. Not really sure.​

Does the relation even matter though? Okay yes and no. But the person is very good. But then you wouldn't know if he might pull the trigger before you.

That's what I was looking for. So in the end, it's all just close relation. But how would you know whether he is a douchebag or not? How can you be so sure that he'll be willing to talk with you? Keeping that in mind, my question once again, "Would you do it?"

Depends. If that person where say a Doc Ock then yes. I would do what I have to do.

But the point is you just don't know anything at all about the other guy.

Let's say he is a stranger. You know nothing about him. Then what?

That's somewhat true. I know. But let's be hypothetical here.

You are confuse though. In your truest nature, will you pull the trigger?

 

[whoami28]

Assuming that if you both decided to put your guns down you would truly both die, and if you shot each other simultaneously you'd both die (barring all timing issues). I'd shoot the other person. I'm not normally one for violence, but this is a similar scenario to the prisoner's dilemma except collaboration is not in your favor. You have no way of knowing why the other person would kill you, whether they simply want to survive or they want you dead for other motives. I'd protect myself if I knew that it was simply for my own survival over his/hers.

If it was the case that neither of you would spontaneously die if neither shot the other I'd aim to shoot the gun out of the other person's hand. If I could aim like that.

Pull the trigger on him grab his gun kill myself

Edit: if he is a stranger you dont have to ask twice i M pulling bruh

 

[Exaar]

If it were a stranger then i would shoot him.

When put under them circumstances, People change and can do what they never thought they would or could do. When that Survival instinct and that Fear and realization that you're going to die kick in, There is no telling what you're capable of.

In the case of him being a stranger, then I would probably let him shoot me.

 

[whoami28]

Do tell us your answer as well, since you've thought of this for some time.

Let him Shoot you? LOLOLOL!

 

[Wabbit]

It depends can you live peacefully after killing that guy..
Well,just think about how many people had to be killed so that you and your country to exist.

 

[Lightslayer]

No matter what you say, you will never know what you would do unless it actually happens to you.

Especially with your vague scenario.

That quote might go to waste when the situation is in hand. But anyway, good answer.

I'm not normally one for violence, but this is a similar scenario to the prisoner's dilemma except collaboration is not in your favor.

If it was the case that neither of you would spontaneously die if neither shot the other I'd aim to shoot the gun out of the other person's hand. If I could aim like that.

That's a clear response. So how would you feel later?

Pull the trigger on him grab his gun kill myself

Edit: if he is a stranger you dont have to ask twice i M pulling bruh

So why kill him if you'll feel so much guilt that you'll kill yourself later? And let's say he is a stranger, then after pulling the trigger, how would you feel about yourself?

If it were a stranger then i would shoot him.

When put under them circumstances, People change and can do what they never thought they would or could do. When that Survival instinct and that Fear and realization that you're going to die kick in, There is no telling what you're capable of.

That's basically human instinct of survival backed up by the fear of death.

Do tell us your answer as well, since you've thought of this for some time.

I will edit my first post later.

Let him Shoot you? LOLOLOL!

Well for one, he actually is showing the humanity, and might be the only second person here.

 

[-immortal-]

So why kill him if you'll feel so much guilt that you'll kill yourself later? And let's say he is a stranger, then after pulling the trigger, how would you feel about yourself?

For the FIrst one.


i Would Only Kill Myself If he was a Close friend of Mine. i am not feeling guilty for Anything. If he is a close friend. it wouldn't be honest to let one of us life. and let the other one life with what just happend. If he cannot make the decision i would kill him. Grab his Gun. Kill myself. Its over. its Done.

For The stranger. i wouldn't care. i would Kill him. i Wouldn't care and move on.
