Do you have more than one kid?

Understandable, ^ that's how you were suppose to answer the question people.


Yeah, I don't have any kids but it would be the same way if I was in that situation.

I think one of the things that impelled me was an instinctive reaction to the words "correct" and "supposed". You had the idea that there was a right or wrong way in your mind to treat the question. When I am presented with the functional equivalent of orthodoxy, an unnecessarily restrictive set of rules in pursuit of an ending that cannot be good, I consider playing along to be an act of accession, without courage. So ... I turn my attention to subversion, to spotting the unexpected option.

Take the video. My first thought (if I were the woman handed a gun) would have been to tuck it under my chin. Fuck you, robber ... I spit at your rules.
But had I had my wits about me a bit more, I would have bushwacked the remaining gunman. It's a low-probability manuever, but the one with the best potential outcome.
Otherwise all options lead to a kid looking at his parent funny for the rest of their lives, an outcome where I bring a counter-orthodoxy: unacceptable, and it demands the quest for an unorthodox reaction. I squirmed, because from my perspective you were trying to compel an irreducibly cowardly act from me. I will always recoil from such a premise.
Why am I writing this? I have a vague dissatisfaction with your rejection/dismissal of my efforts on this thread as unorthodox, wrong, and thus without value. That doesn't sit quite right with me. cn

Blah blah blah, you're still avoiding the main question.

Trolling, this is an impossible question to answer. I have 2 daughters. I love them both equally, and unconditionally. Since I have no more or less love for either of them, it is impossible to make such a choice. Faced with this situation, I would be unable to make that choice.

That being said, I am much closer with one than the other. Even with that fact, I wouldn't pick the one I'm more attached to than the other. I simply couldn't do it.

Yeah I know, just wanted to see what people might do. I don't blame you for not answering, I knew it would be difficult for most people to answer. I do applaud you for understanding the question unlike some people (cn).

I understand the question. Do not mistake a refusal to accept its unpleasant terms for ignorance. With your "blah blah blah" non-rebuttal, you have shown me that your username is quite on target. cn

Ahh come on neer, have a little fun lol. Imagine god comes to you and tells you that you gotta choose one of your kids to survive. .Who would you choose?

But you're making up your own rules instead of answering the question directly.

Either you truly don't get it or you're the one trolling me. Just answer the question or don't, stop making up your own rules.

It's those filthy little habits God has. "Hey Abraham. Climb a mountain and take a knife to your son's chest ... or I'll think you don't luhv me."
And then his own kid . We all know what God's idea of "child support" was (hint: it was made of wood.)

But I digress. Trolling deliberately posed a question designed to fundamentally offend a parent at the deepest level. That would not be a big deal if he were sporting about accepting efforts to reduce the offense of it all. I see neither wisdom nor beauty (nor sport nor fun) in insisting that the discussion be held to the worst. My opinion. cn

I don't think he should have to answer if he don't wanna. Nobody could ever know what they would think or do in that situation. I get these type of questions but they're pointless unless somebody has already experienced it. Like people who say what they would do in a fight over and over all tough guy like and then they get there ass handed to them 1st time they get into one bacause its never how you imagine.

Imo it was you who made up the rules. I have an equal and opposite privilege to examine them for loopholes. On this playing field, let's regard each other as equals. No?

What floors me is that when I say "I recoil at the premise", you say "Not good enough." Where's the mutual regard in that? cn

I didn't say not good enough and the one rule I made was to be direct. I think you made loopholes because you didn't want to have to make that hard decision, which is understandable.

But I'll let bygones be bygones and leave it at that.
