Moral Dilemma
#61
RE: Moral Dilemma
In all honestly, if I were the one being tortured, I would want my loved one to do it. I would I mean more to them than a fucking prudish 14yo. I would not ask of them something I wouldn't do myself. I would do anything to save someone I truly love, no matter who I hurt.

Also rape fantasies don't make you a psychopath.

Yeah, there's another problem. I'm guessing about 25% of men would see this situation as a justification for GETTING to rape a 14 year-old girl. And I'm giving 74% of men a benefit of the doubt that they probably don't deserve.

Yup that's exactly it. Definitely. No doubt. When I first read the OP in my mind I'm thinking, "What's the dilemma? Have something happen to a loved one that I won't like, or enjoy raping a 14 year old girl." Spot on. Good job.

Oh no! Shit just got real, dawg!

He is not torturing you he is torturing the person you love most.

You don't understand how much that hurts, and you're asking about a dilemma that is BASED on this premise? >__<

A potential being... we're talking about very real and demonstrable suffering. Some children are born slaves, tools, and toys, and you CANNOT stop this (save by killing the girl).

If you cannot rape her, and impregnate her: kill her. You have been given full capability to do such.

Kindest option yet: stop her suffering.

Quote:As this was posed as a moral dilemma, I answered in terms of what would be the most moral choice. Under my personal moral code, causing harm to children is one of the worst possible things one can do.

I can certainly understand your position... but there are many levels on which my differing values show.

That may be true in a more general sense (ie, the man who steals a loaf of bread to feed his family, or assaults an intruder to his home before determining intent). I see the dilemma in this topic as more of a test of our reaction or approach. There is almost no context, just a situation, and there are two primary questions, as I see it:

- do you react to the question right away, or do you take time to think it through?

- do you react emotionally (projecting forward and imagining the consequences of each action) or logically (treating it as a math problem)?

These are linked, in that I think the less time you take to consider the question, the more likely you are to make the emotional choice.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

How did I get into the room with the person the psycho wants me to rape?
Does the psycho have any weapons? How much does he weigh roughly?
Does the psycho have a camera in the room with us?

Chloroform, then a strong buck of a black guy carried you over his shoulder.

Nuclear arsenal, private army, and he IS the illuminati.

He weighs ~8,340,107,534 American dollars.

Yes, and enough lighting to make J. J. Abrams proud.

I'm disgusted at the way some of you are talking about rape as if it's no big deal. I wish I hadn't checked in on this thread.
