Political morality test

[SAJ]

Found this today , just thought I would share:

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.




You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career making photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer...
somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realise who it is.

It's George W Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under ... forever. You have two options - you can save the life of G.W.
Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the worlds most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:
(question in spoiler)

Spoiler

Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

 

[OCybrManO]

That's a tough call. Can I get a description of the tone of the colors in the environment? What's the lighting like? Is it cloudy or has the actual storm already passed? What kind of camera do I have? If it's a digital camera, does it use Foveon X3 technology? These details are important.

 

[Gunner]

Haha... I guess. I've heard cabbies tell better jokes.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Bwahahah.

I'm not a photographer so it's a very hard decision there...probably go for colour.

Spoiler

I'd actually try to save him, even if I do hate him...probably take a picture first though :E

 

[Tr0n]

Bwahahah.

Same here.

I wouldn't be anywhere near, I would be sitting at my computer of course, so this question doesn't apply to me.

Heh, oh dear, my bad :O

Awww, don't be a spoilsport.

 

[baxter]

Man that's a tough one, I think he looks better in colour

 

[Feath]

Clever.

 

[bliink]

Its a bit like that cheating spouse joke where the punchline is a question about fixing rust on a wheel rim.

 

[Feath]

You've lost me, Bliink.

 

[bliink]

You've lost me, Bliink.

Its even been posted here I think:

I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision. Thanks in advance guys.

I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi? I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my g/f. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she gets out of. It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed rust around my rear wheel arch.

Should I take it into a body repair shop or should I buy some stuff from the local auto shop and try to repair it myself?

Obviously color, you can easily change it to black and white later. Simple logic.

 

[little.rebel]

i would save his life

 

[falconwind]

Bwahahah.

yeah, same... besides haven't you ever heard of 'convert to greyscale' ?

 

[JNightshade]

I dunno... black and white has a stark, poetic beauty to it that color just can't match, even converted to greyscale it's not the same. Of course, if you overdo it it comes out all cliche'd and angsty, like an emo teenager who went crazy with a webcam.

 

[Llama]

holy sh*t, id actually try to help him...its a man drowning...and id CARE...whatt is the DEAL?

 

[Murray]

Honestly, I think I'd save him rather than take the photo. If I let him die, I'm just a bad person as he is. I would value business before human life. That's one of the worst things a human can do. Sad thing is, most people would in America does that all the time.

 

[falconwind]

well if anything, it's better to save him first, then take a picture.... or maybe set the timer and then save him... yeah, that'd rule. save a life and get the moola at the same time, that's the shit right there. :cheese:

 

[Glirk Dient]

I would probally take a picture and sell it, it would be worth a lot. Screw if you like him at all, you can get good money for a picture like that!
