And now for a question of personal morals…..
Lets say you were on a ship that was sinking, and only the women and children were allowed to survive simply because for some odd coincidence there were only enough spaces on the lifevessel for the exact number of women and children…
Part 1 (for men) – would you sneak onto the lifevessel regardless of these rules, knowing that there would be women and children that will die because you took their space?
Part 2 (for women) – would you get on the lifevessel to survive while leaving your significant other to die?
That is all for now

Personally, I myself would stay with my significant other, if I had one. If not, I would happily give up my place for an elderly man or someone who it was very unlikely would survive in the water for however long it took people to realize people were still out there. A slim chance of hope still survives, and although drowning is one of my worst fears, when death calls you to dance, one can only accept the invitation, not delay the inevitable.
Did you watch Titanic last night?
That is a tough question though. I think it all depends on your circumstances. If I had a child, I think I would have to go with my child so she wouldn’t grow up parentless. But if it where just my husband and I, I think I would go with him…or dress him up like my child.
Your husband is now a midget sized annoying person! Fitting. Well, hope you find him in life.
Good Answer
NO, I did not watch titanic. I was simply bored and thought that would be a horrible decision to make.
OOOOOrrrrr…I had really TALL kids….
Truly. It is just as terrible as if you were in a horrid accident and they could either save your sight or your hearing. Which would you rather do without?
Thats easy, I would lose sight. I know how things look now, and images can be described. However, music, sounds, voice. These can not be replicated by light.
I gotta agree with Angela…in my current situation, I would stay with my S.O., but if I had children I would take them and go. LOL…is anybody really gonna just be like, “Sorry honey, but uh, I can’t miss my hair appointment next week. I’ll miss you!”
Just kidding.
I would, of course, get on the same boat as Violet. But if I was only with Rick, I would have to die with him, since life without him would be horrible.
But, there’s a catch. I would probably be too busy arguing over the fairness of the situation (after all, is the rule for women and children because women are weaker than men????) to catch my raft. I’d shut up only in time to see my life raft sailing towards land, and some tricky man will be sitting in my seat.
you know what’s weird, a buncha ppl say if they were w/ their kid, they’d got w/ the kid and leave their male SO to die. So’s their kid wouldn’t grow up parentless. Hmmmm. Well, it seems to me it would be a lot easier to dress your male SO up as a woman in one of your spare dresses (or the dress of that hefty chick you just knocked in the head) and send him to raise the kid on the boat. Think about it. If the people manning the lifeboat really had time to check out the five o’clock shadow on that big boned girl the boat wouldn’t be sinking. So the solution is, sacrifice yourself and save your kid and male SO. And what if you’re gay? If you’re a lesbian then does that mean you and your SO get to live? And if you’re a gay man does that mean you both have to die? Personally, Im knocking that healthy girl in the hair putting on some make up and me and the whole clan are getting off that sinking shithole. And hey, if you wanna add my extended family, we’re stealing a boat anyway, so’s the whole lot of us gets off.
Um hum. Leave it to you to put some kinda of femminist thing into a question of life altering consequences. But I guess that is you. Personaly, I would have jumped overboard.
Okay, two words… Over Analyzed.
I say you should be the captain. They only live if they are corrupt, and dress up like somebody else in this situation.
Cool. Captain Jones…hmmmmm, I like that. Can I have cabin boys and girls?
