just a random thought i had this am, and i asked all of my friends just to see what they would say..hahaha!
dont get technical, just read the following scenario:

your on a plane that is about to crash. The passangers are a random 5 year old kid, and you, you being somewhere at the age of 25-40.
the question is, there is 1 parachute and only one of you can use it. so what do you do? give it to the kid and let them live their life and you die, or you take it and come back to the life you've known for so long and let the kid die?

kind of random i know, but it wud be interesting to see what everyone's answer is..

I don't like most people, so chances are he'd turn out to be one of those people, so I'd push him out, smoke a j and then jump out and hope I don't land anywhere near where he did.

we had to do something like this in sociology.

X number of people trapped in a bunker after a nuke goes off, you only have enough food to last 5 of you. out of the 20 people on the list you had to choose the 5 people you would save..

some of the bio's were as follows..

Doctor (most people saved her)

Children ( every group saved 1 the other had a mental disability)

Gay man. (not one group in 100 people saved him)

young couple (everyone saved them for reproduction)

old pastor, (almost no one saved him, age)


fucked up assignment.

no man its a question to see if you would in a sense be selfish and let a kid die whos not even lived their life, or give yours up and allow them to live since youve lived at least half of yours!

I I haven't lived my life. I actually have a sense of what is out there. All the 5 year old knows is cartoons and nap time. If he dies, no big deal. If I die it'll be a bigger travesty.

Everyone has just been saying that they would use the parachute and hold on the kid but wouldn't this be hard to get it out while holding him and also you might drop him when the wind resistence hits from the chute opening. Another thing, how is a 5 year old going to figure how to function a parachute while on a plane that crashing...

many of those shoots you don't need to operate and all you have to do is pull the cord. I would hold the kid in my arms thought but if i wasn't allowed to do that i would have to give the kid the chute
