Test Question

[Joeychgo]

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

THE SITUATION:

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of Biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow they look familiar … you suddenly realize who they are.

It's Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take them under forever.

You have two options:

You can save their lives or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world's most powerful people

NOW, Here's the question; and please give an honest answer ...

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

C: Blame Bush.

 

[topher5150]

I think I would use black and white, depending on the lighting

 

[lincolnx2]

C: Blame Bush.

Bush wouldn't come close to Miami, too many minorities.

 

[jolinc01]

I'd go with the high contrast

 

[Calabrio]

Bush wouldn't come close to Miami, too many minorities.

Like his cabinet?

 

[fossten]

Bush wouldn't come close to Miami, too many minorities.

Kanye, is that you?

 

[shagdrum]

If, instead of taking pictures, you started tossing things at them...what would that do to your "morality" rating?

 

[pepperman]

High contrast color film.

 

[MsM8tress]

why waste good film.....

 

[topher5150]

or you could just use digital, and delete it later

 

[MsM8tress]

Obviously, this is a trick question of sorts because the film question is meant cloud the real issue, which is doing something to save their lives. Anyone who would rather concentrate on which film to use instead of trying to help Obama and Pelosi are immoral. Any decent person would forget about the photos and try to save their lives. There would be only one caveat, which is whether in trying to save their lives I would be putting myself in grave danger. You see, I do value my own life and would not do anything stupid like try to play hero when in reality there is nothing I could do. However, if there is any reasonable chance that I could save them I would and forget about the photos.

Then again, maybe I should take the photos, sell them to the highest bidder and let them both die and, in so doing, save us all from their socialist agenda, arrogance, and stupidity.

Is it immoral to do nothing while your enemy dies?

 

[cammerfe]

Whew !!!!

...and, in so doing, save us all from their socialist agenda, arrogance, and stupidity.

Gee, Mac, for a minute there, I thought you didn't quite get it, and were taking this whole thread with---deadly---seriousness.
