A MORAL DILEMMA: WTF would you do?
Imagine waking up in a locked room with three strangers.
All three are innocent people of the same age and gender. You know nothing about their backgrounds, families, or personal lives. None has done anything wrong, and none is more deserving of life than the others.
Behind reinforced glass sits a masked individual who controls the room.
You are informed that the three strangers are wearing remotely controlled lethal devices. The individual demonstrates complete control over the devices and gives you an ultimatum.
A gun containing one bullet is placed in front of you.
You have exactly 60 seconds to make a decision.
Your choices:
A. Take the gun and kill one of the three strangers. The remaining two will immediately be released unharmed.
B. Refuse to kill anyone. When the timer reaches zero, all three strangers will be killed.
The room is sealed. You cannot reach the individual controlling the devices. There is no way to disable them, escape, negotiate, or sacrifice yourself in their place.
You cannot ask the strangers to choose. The decision has been placed entirely on you.
For the purpose of this thought experiment, these outcomes are guaranteed. There is no third option.
What would you choose, A or B, and why?
@RickSlingerpick That girl will be accused of racism and the boy will not go to juvenille hall or anything. The girl will be forced to apologize or be ostracized from her community. This is now reality and we are the cowards that let it happen.
@fuurtherbus Im afraid to side with my race. I will be ostracized by society or charged with a hate crime or get beaten down by a black mob. Most of our race are not stand up individuals lets be clear.
@deetaology That poor teen will get 20 years for a hate crime and that black man wont serve a day and he will receive a forced apology from the white teen. Welcome to America.
Not erased. He fits in with civilized western society and integrates. Hes no more invisible than any white guy thats free married and building. Welcome to normalcy. You are accepted but will not receive any more attention or applause than anyone else. Check yourself in why you feel erased, maybe you still crave attention.
That white girl will be forced to apologize for being racist or she will be charged for a hate crime. Racism is worse than violence now. I feel sorry for her too but they now have the right to do anything to our kind. The best thing for us to do is apologize every time you see a black person. Give them all your belongings and house and move into a homeless shelter. Actually no live on the streets to make more room for blacks. It's really bad out here we are screwed.
But most people wont. Im afraid in a few years immigrants and muslims and blacks will invade our homes the way they invade stores every time they riot. Police won't do anything and Im sure most of us won't either because they will convict them us of a hate crime if we try to defend ourselves or our property.
