I'd tell the parents to go get their kid. It's not my responsibility.

well, now that I think about it, no parent that's oblivious enough to not see his or her son in such danger can be called a parent. But that's off topic. Stay focused.

rofl yeah go get your kid, btw whats left of him is in a Body bag LOL

I meant for the parents to die to save their kid. I didn't bring the kid into the world nor do I know the kid. If it was my child, I would throw them up on the platform and die.

I explained your question in the OP. But I'll say it again. Lets assume that no one else is able to help for one reason or another, whether they be old or crippled.

Let's just say he was with his soccer team, kids who are all his age and are equally scared of jumping out to help him. So it's either stay there with the kids and do nothing or go and save the kid.

That makes more sense. ^.^

By the time you told them the kid would be dead, it was what I was referencing.

You are correct, but please stay on topic. I know I veered off topic with a post, but don't follow my lead. It'll get you no where in life. XD

Ill do that, it's so hard though, you're such a charismatic individual I couldn't help but be a sheep.

You sir, are cold hearted. I like that. xD

Possible tendency to like gore, which is the reason why he can withstand such cruelty without flinching? I'm having money on that.

This scenario is fundamentally flawed. If you absolutely have to ask 'could you live as a coward, scorned verbally by all, or would you rather die a hero?' Then do it with a proper scenario.

I'm so curious as to where does your coldness come from. Not judging, by the way. But let's just stay on topic for now.

The parameters were illogical. Crow said so himself. If there were enough people to watch the kid die, but I was the only one able to save him, then the odds were against that poor sob.

I don't really think it's a matter of bravery or cowardice, but more of being indifferent or having a sensible heart.



With complete disregard of your own safety, or your life for that matter? Are you 100% sure? Not judging, just curious.



But what about not being able to save yourself afterwards?



LOL.

I don't think that I would be able to act without a doubt, but I would try to save the child.

Your signature makes sense now. Now, do you have a proper reply? Or are you just going to criticize me and my thread?

What he's trying to say is... I wouldn't save the boy. Right?

The living with the living and the dead with the dead.

How many times are you trying to make my roll in the floor laughing my ass off? This is disgraceful. I bet you have some sort of conspiracy.

You have no idea of my evil plans :p

Yup. You definitely are our eccentric, incredible Captain Sparrow. If you can do that much while sober, God helps my stomach when you're drunk.

On topic: Why exactly does the kid have to die, though?
