One more in this series (http://www.echarcha.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26074)


An enormous rock falls and blocks the exit of a cave you and five other tourists have been exploring. Fortunately, you spot a hole elsewhere and decide to let "Big Jack" out first. But Big Jack, a man of generous proportions, gets stuck in the hole. He cannot be moved and there is no other way out

The high tide is rising and, unless you get out soon, everyone but Big Jack (whose head is sticking out of the cave) will inevitably drown. Searching through your backpack, you find a stick of dynamite. It will not move the rock, but will certainly blast Big Jack out of the hole. Big Jack, anticipating your thoughts, pleads for his life. He does not want to die, but neither do you and your four companions. Should you blast Big Jack out?

If the roles were reversed, what would you advise your trapped companions to do?

Hell yeah - I'd blast his ass out. This is not murder - if you take someones life because its the only way to save yours, it is not murder.

There were 2 questions asked, poll has only one:confused:

Amthapal pai, his head was pointed out... so he won't die... well... at least not by drowning... maybe rot away to death...

Looks like Big Jack has eyes on his butt... how come he could anticipate you blowing him out with a stick of dynamite when even you did not know you had it:confused:... unless... unless... you sort of stuck it in his... in his... :D... and then he had to anticipate whether it was a stick of dynamite... or... or a... or a stick of dynamite:D
