Forums - General Discussion - ten moral conundrums

hey guys, perturbedkitty here back at you with another thread. today i have for you ten moral conundrums, and im interested to see how my fellow VGC members navigate through these scenarios. happy answering ^_^

1. you have to choose your life as it is right now. nothing will get any better, nothing will get any worse. you will maintain the current level of quality in your life for the remainder of your life. or you can choose to become president of the united states of america, but you will be assassinated one year before your term ends. which do you choose?

2. would you rather be the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated in your own lifetime or considered a genius within your own lifetime, but thought of as a mediocre hack after you died?

3. would you rather have a sexual partner who was great in bed, but was so ugly that they were somewhat of a social embarrasment, or would you rather have a lovely sexual partner who happened to be completely terrible in bed, but made people terribly envious of you?

4. would you rather be the lead singer of an extremely popular but mediocre rock band, or would you rather be the greatest poet who ever lived with a small but dedicated fanbase?

5. you are presented with two doors, but three options. option number one is to open the first door, option number two is to open the second door, option number three is to walk away. behind one door, there is fame, fortune, and fulfillment of all your dreams, and behind the other door is an axe wielding maniac who will chop you to pieces the second you open the door. you dont know which of these things is behind which door. do you choose to open one of these doors or do you choose to walk away?

6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself?

7. if you had to take a long road trip with either a vietnam vet with a bad temper who had a gun on his person at all times, or a sociopath who quietly judged everything you did, what would you choose and why?

8. if you could obtain immortality by stomping a little girl's pet kitten to death before her crying eyes every christmas eve, would you do it?

9. if you loved someone with all of your heart and they hated everything about you, would you take ten years off of their life if it meant that they would love you in return?

10. if you died and went to hell, and found that it is every bit as horrible as christians make it out to be, eternal fire, eternal suffering, eternal pain; but the devil offered you a deal - he said that for every soul on earth that you could tempt towards damnation, you will experience a one year reprieve from the agony of eternal hellfire, would you take his deal?

1. Life as is. Though all the power as President could lead to good things, It's difficult not to be hated by one half of the US. And so many things to impede progress too.

2. I'd rather be considered a great genius after my lifetime. Because it doesn't mean I'm hated, just unknown and unappreciated.

3. The cute one who's bad in bed. 

4. I would be the poet. I think if I was in a shit rock band, I'd know it and never be happy with the quality of music, and thus my entire life's work.

5. Walk away. I don't need fame and fortune, and fulfillment is something I can eventually accomplish myself. I don't even need to mention the other door.

6. I don't want to kill myself. And I don't want to kill all my enemies.

7. I'll take a trip with the vet. I'll just do things to make him like me and hopefully I won't be the one getting shot.

8. No. I'm not a killer, and I certainly don't want to cause unhappiness to others. I might not even want to live forever.

9. No. I don't want to do anything to anyone else for my own wants and needs.

10. Hell yeah, I'd take his deal.



bet: lost

why not? answer them, itll be fun =]





Well, here goes...

1. Life as is. Not really up for politics anyways

2. Unappreciated genius. Even if it's to a small group, I'd rather be remembered as a good person.

3. The one who's bad in bed. We can flip around like fish together :D

4. Greatest poet because then maybe I could understand it :/

5. Walk away. It's more satisfying to work towards your dreams anyway (and fewer axe murderers)

6. Don't kill myself. Not worth it

7. Sociopath. I'm more content dealing with quiet rage than physical rage

8. No since I don't like killing kittens and immortality doesn't seem like it's all cracked up to be (just watching your loved ones die around you)

9. No since I don't believe my selfish desires should impact the life of another (then again, I haven't fallen madly in love with anyone so I don't know if that would change my answer)

10. Considering being stuck in hell would be eternal, I probably would every now and again



 

1. you have to choose your life as it is right now. nothing will get any better, nothing will get any worse. you will maintain the current level of quality in your life for the remainder of your life. or you can choose to become president of the united states of america, but you will be assassinated one year before your term ends. which do you choose?

 

I would choose my life as it is right now, duh. Why would I want all the pressure of being a president to be the highlight of my few last years of life?

 

2. would you rather be the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated in your own lifetime or considered a genius within your own lifetime, but thought of as a mediocre hack after you died?

 

I would choose option 1. If I indeed was the greatest genius on earth, I bet I could benefit from it one way or the other without risking my legacy.

 

3. would you rather have a sexual partner who was great in bed, but was so ugly that they were somewhat of a social embarrasment, or would you rather have a lovely sexual partner who happened to be completely terrible in bed, but made people terribly envious of you?

 

I would choose option 2. My partner would be lovely and the other stuff can be learned.

 

4. would you rather be the lead singer of an extremely popular but mediocre rock band, or would you rather be the greatest poet who ever lived with a small but dedicated fanbase?

 

I would choose option 2. I imagine being that much popular must be too intrusive and I wouldn't like that. Besides, being the greatest poet and have a few people know it is good enough.

 

5. you are presented with two doors, but three options. option number one is to open the first door, option number two is to open the second door, option number three is to walk away. behind one door, there is fame, fortune, and fulfillment of all your dreams, and behind the other door is an axe wielding maniac who will chop you to pieces the second you open the door. you dont know which of these things is behind which door. do you choose to open one of these doors or do you choose to walk away?

 

I would choose option 3. Having a chance of fulfilling all my dreams sounds great, but having a chance of dying right there is worse, IMO. At least, if I walk away I still have the opportunity of fulfilling my dreams.

 

6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself?

 

No... Like... I don't have any enemies, but even if I did, I would still love myself  more than I'd hate them... duh.

 

7. if you had to take a long road trip with either a vietnam vet with a bad temper who had a gun on his person at all times, or a sociopath who quietly judged everything you did, what would you choose and why?

 

Well, it depends what kind of sociopath the sociopath is... But I would go with the sociopath. The overwhelming majority of sociopaths aren't criminals, and it actually might be fun if I go all sarcastic on him/her. A vet with a bad temper and a gun on him sounds like too much trauma and instability.

 

8. if you could obtain immortality by stomping a little girl's pet kitten to death before her crying eyes every christmas eve, would you do it?

 

 

A hard one, finally. But yes, I would. Just crush the kitten's head first so s/he won't suffer. I could also get very drunk to do it so I don't remember it the next day. The little girl is probably irresponsible and would get the kitten to die anyways.

If you put me to test , though, I wouldn't, lol. I'd rather live my decent amount of years with a clean conscience and no regrets such as killing kittens and traumatizing little girls.

9. if you loved someone with all of your heart and they hated everything about you, would you take ten years off of their life if it meant that they would love you in return?

 

No. How pathetic would that be? Have some selfesteem...

 

10. if you died and went to hell, and found that it is every bit as horrible as christians make it out to be, eternal fire, eternal suffering, eternal pain; but the devil offered you a deal - he said that for every soul on earth that you could tempt towards damnation, you will experience a one year reprieve from the agony of eternal hellfire, would you take his deal?

 

I bet I would. I mean, if I'm eternally in hell, I must get corrupted to the core at some point that I won't even care anymore.

 

 





1. I would become POTUS even if it means certain death because at least it's better than being a nobody in the end as I am right now. It's the quality of life that matters most ...

2. This question doesn't make any sense but if I had to choose it would most certainly be the latter because the present is more important to us than the far future ...

3. I would want the hot girl even if it means more work on my end to get satisfaction for our sexual experience ... (Being shallow is a part of being human.)

4. If the so called "greatest" poet was some fart in the wind I'd rather be the former ...

5. Walk away as it's too early for me to choose heaven and hell ...

6. Nope considering I don't have that many enemies and even if I did I don't want to avoid a fated conflict ...

7. Angry man vs Insane man ? I'll take the angry man ...

8. Absolutely, I know value the crap out of my time on earth so I'll do it ...

9. With all my heart, eh ? This is a no-brainer as if you "truly" loved that person then that love should be unconditional!

10. I'm selfish enough to avoid every bit of suffering even if it means tempting others into damnation so yeah I'm up for it ...

2. Greatest Genius. Legacy.

3. Great in bed. What the f do I care? Other people already don't register what I like.

4. Greatest Poet. Four quarters is worth more to me than one hundred pennies.

5. Walk away. Once I was in an arcade and a dude with a wad of cash asked me to steel a breif case from a kitchen. I said nope and walked away.

6. Nope because I'm not 100% sure that killing my enemies is the right course.

7. Walk away. Because there's always a third option.

8. Nope. Not worth it.

9. Naw. I'm not all that sure I'm qualified to know what love is.

 

I know what I would do for 1 and 10
