    A moral dillema....

    I am going to ask you to do a test, which consists of only one question, but this will present you with a terrible ethical/moral dilemma.
    So think very well, and do not answer to hastily! Take your time for this question....
    This test will put you in a fictious situation, as someone that has to make a really difficult decision. Make sure you answer spontaneously, yet honestly.
    Here we go, scroll down slowly for the right result!







    You're in the USA....

    You are in the midst of terrible destruction, caused by hurricane "Isabel"...

    Huge amounts of water...

    A torrential downpour...

    Gale-force winds....

    You are a photographer working for Time-Life and are stuck in the middle of this disaster....

    The people around you are in distress, on the verge of breaking down and giving in...

    while you try to keep your foothold...

    And shoot some GREAT pictures.

    All around you houses and people are swept away....
    Nature's forces beat the surrounding areas relentlessly, there is no safe haven.

    Suddenly you see a man in a 4WD auto. He is struggling to keep his car under control and to not be swept away, to certain death...
    You crawl closer....

    Huh?! That guy looks like....
    BILL GATES!
    Now you see the water is winning, and he and his car are about to be swept away...
    You have got two choices: either you help him out of there or take the shot and be a made man... Either you save Microsoft's CEO, or you are going to collect your Pullitzer some months later.

    Here's the dilemma (and be honest!):









    Are you going to use black and white or color film?!?!?!?!?!?

    (I received this in e-mail, but the name of the victim wasn't Bill Gates though.... I thought it'd be wise not to use GW Bush in this joke, on this forum :) )

    LOL, I'd prefer to choke the fucker, slowly and with my bare hands. Then reanimate him and choke him again. Then the same again and then again and THEN put both bullets in his knees. Then wait till the screaming stops and then break his neck. But if the other two individuals would come with some other painful ideas or suggestions I would propably use them too.

    *what a minute, where is the "open-camera-button" , hmmm... where did i put the colorfilm ?. is it in my pocket or in the bag..?...search ....search :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :zzz: *

    honestly said:
    I canґt coop with that bill gates brought us all that "bad" things.
    I mean:

    He and Steve Jobs came out from the garage ..barely 19 years old they went to IBM and said : "Hi IBM , do u want a GUI ?"
    IBM : "he kids , get out ! , we make our own things!."
    so Gates made his own thing.....

    now think, if IBM would have hired him . then we would might have
    s t a n d a r d OS system a n d s t a n d a r d machines !!!!!!

    that would be cruel. :mad:

    and MS-sticks areґnt that bad, are they ? sure ..expensive :(

    Black and white film would give a more dramatic aspect....

    (BTW you can replace Bill Gates by George Bus, Tony Blair, Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Boris Yeltsin, Ariel Sharon... and i will give the same answer :D )

    Canґt see a dilemma: a human being needs help... I can help him... I would help anyone that I can.. doesnt matter who is... gates, bush, laden, hussein, and others surely worst of those above... I dont think that his death will be the worst thing that could happen to such ppl... maybe they must pay for his sins (?) alive... Anyway Im not any god to decide about life and death of another human being... so, the pulitzer could be achieved in other ways, like an exclusive interview, or something like that...

    I'd save him, pretty much if it was any human minus a few.



    Like Will Smith.

    well, let's look from another side.
    you are intruding God's business when he want to kill some certain human? may be you're God to decide wether that human will live or die? :)

    joking. but... in any joke is a part of truth.

    "minus few of them", including Gates? ;)

    Save him without a doubt.

    1. he's a human being and if I would be able to help, I probably would

    2. he revolutionized the world, the whole world functions because of M$. Its not all that shitty as most people make it out most of the time! Why don't YOU try to design a system that is used by millions and then don't get any complaints about it.

    3. he is so damn rich that he might actually reward you ;)

    COME ON ALREADY! ITS A BLOODY JOKE, AND EVERY OTHER NAME CAN BE USED!

    Like I said, I received this e-mail with the name "GW Bush" instead of "Bill Gates". Apoc, you could change it to "Filip de Winter". Puff, we could say "Jan-Peter Balkenende" or "Gerrit Zalm".

    :D

    To exec: Huh?!
