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. Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
THE SITUATION:
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.
THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man 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 realize who it is. It's Barrack Obama!
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 Barrack Obama or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful socialist Muslim men hell bent on the destruction of America .
THE QUESTION:
Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.
SCROLL DOWN:
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Black and white...

Solar.... having come to an understanding in recent days with you as to your regard for form and properness, I have to tell you that I am very surprised, shocked actually, that you are the author of this thread.
I do notice that you did not offer your answer to this, I think you posted it to elicit responses as a gauge of the depth of disdain for OBOO BOO...and I certainly understand the concept of provoking thought on a matter.
As for my answer, I would respond by the dictates of the morality I possess....therefore I would have to extend a hand to try to save his life.....since I respect all life.
I think I know what your answer would be, however, I will let you surprise me again....or not.
I would save him. I don't like him; but letting someone drown because it would benefit yourself, is the kind of thing Obama would do; and I'd like to think of myself as better than that.
I'm sorry, Solar, but this is nothing short of despicable.

SHEESH, IT'S A DAMN JOKE, FOR CHRIST SAKES!
MDGILES "nailed it"? you say this as if he is the only one who did. I believe my answer was the same as to saving him.
Lefties, ya'll need to work on your sense of humor....acquire one.
This is an old joke, best I recall the first version I remember was Katrina and Bush....all the Libs thought it was hilarious then...

Solar.....I as much as indicated that you probably wrote it as a way to elicit responses(joke) . Was not chiding you, was jerking your chain a bit as my own joke as to your writing this post.

You could only save one and it's Bush and Hussein. Which do you choose?
Remember, a drowning man will take you with them, so you're risking your own life as well.

I'm not going to answer that question, because both men's lives are equally valuable. God created both George Bush and Barack Obama. The foundation of our society is that the individual man - the child of God - is the touchstone of value. While I may FERVENTLY disagree with both men on certain issues, I will not stoop to the level of answering a sick hypothetical such as this.
Did the lefties not read the question? This is a photography question plain and simple, obviously.

Interesting. So if the choices were a child raping murderer or your own mother, your answer would still be that they are equally valuable? Get off your moral high horse and lighten up, nancy.

I see, you'll let them both drown.
Keep in mind, this is an very old joke dating back to early 20th century. Sometimes a joke is nothing more than a joke, try not to over think it.

your answer does end up "surprising" me...as I thought it would be something else. However, I think if by some symphony of chance you ended up at that very place with him....I think you would end up "surprising" yourself with the action you would actually take.
I have to admit...this thread is turning into a real hoot!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Was it a joke? Yes.
In bad taste? Maybe
Do liberals have any respect for human life? No.
Does Obama? Based on his support for partial birth abortion and allowing aborted babies born alive to die I'd say no.
Is this bland compared to what liberals say every day? Absolutely.
Would we actually allow Obama to die? Of course not.
Would Liberals allow Bush to die? Quite a few of them.

Which is why the qualifier "A moment to think about it".
Yes, I would let the bastard die, end of story!
I have saved more lives in my time on earth than most could ever dream of, race played no part it, it's just a core value thing.
But, if he were out of office, I probably would bail his ass out, but if it were to happen tomorrow, I would be saving more lives by letting his ass drown.
Country first!
The thing of it is that if a person's life (murderer) is to be taken as a punishment/consequence of their actions(crime)....then that taking needs to be done as a result of a sentence arrived at within a lawfully convened court of law....and not at the hands of an individual citizen taking the law into his own hands.

HALLELUJAH! You are my new favorite person on this forum.
Interesting take....which in itself shows a degree of shift off your original position on the matter. I think for us all there is a defining element that comes into play when our innately known stances happen to meet a testing point in real time.
I look forward to future exhibitions from you as to your passionately held beliefs on other thought provoking matters. Onword ho!!

There would be no second thoughts on saving a dog.
Well...I will give you this....you certainly keep your flags flying! That is consistency and honesty....both of which I respect..as I believe I exhibit the same features myself.

100% irrelevant. The post was about not being able to pick which life to save because both were created by God as equal. Based on that, whether or not one is a child raping murderer or your own mother should not matter. Just as political affiliation doesn't. Rapists are still created by God as humans, are they not?

This question is different from your original one. In the first, you were asking whether I considered a human life - even a human i don't particular care for - more important than my career. In this question you're asking whether I place more value on some human lives above others; the answer is - of course. I'm willing to bet that if a third party were included, and that third party were someone near and dear to you, both Hussain and Bush would be out of luck. Humans always place greater value up some human lives. How often have you read of someone drowning in an attempt to rescue an endangered child - even an unrelated or unknown child. Why did most of the women and children survive the sinking of the Titanic, while most of the men didn't?

Bullshit. If you truly believe that every human is created by God, then you believe necessarily in all the traits and features God gave each human, and that most certainly includes the natural capacity to judge another human. To say that it "should not matter" whether the person drowning before you is a child raping murderer or your own mother is the ultimate lib/prog bullshit fantasy. ALL men judge ALL other men, every minute of every day, every day of life. It has ALWAYS been so, and it will ALWAYS be so. YOU judge each and every person you come into contact with every day of your life, whether you want to admit it or not. And you in turn are judged by every person you have contact with, including the others who read your words on this board. To deny this is to deny reality. To say it shouldn't be so is proof you've got your jammies on, 'cause you be dreamin.'

That's cute how the closet liberal (among other things) thinks he's having a debate with me. If you would deviate from your liberal tactic of spouting off at the mouth without having a clue about what you're talking about, you would see that my post is saying exactly what you're saying and pointing out the logical fallacy in the hippy's post who said he couldn't choose between Bush or Obama because they are both God's creatures. So before you start acting like a tough guy hurling insults, maybe you should read the back and forth I was having with the hippy guy. Then again, it might be too advanced for you to understand. Idiot.

Yes, I have no qualms playing judge, jury and hangman, did it for a couple of decades, tends to make one take a good look inside, and I'm fine with who I am.
It reminds me of how bent out of shape the libs got over so called torture of enemy prisoners (water boarding).
But when confronted with one of their own family members being held and possibly beheaded, the hypocrisy was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.
Hmm....

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.

In my case I would always pick the human over an animal. However, over the years, I've come to understand that, to many dog owners, there pet IS human, both companion and friend. That's simply the way some are and nothing I do, or say, will be able to change them. I can even see how a beloved pet might rate higher on the "humanity" scale, than a known convicted murderer passing in the flood.

That raises another interesting question, will the Secret Service protect the POTUS no matter what? Like when Michelle starts kicking his ass, for acting like a clown at the Mandela funeral. Will they shoot, like in that old

He would drown a happy man, holding a portrait of his lord and God/mentor.
I'd tie some water wings around a copy of the ACA legislation and toss it to him...
What's puzzling me is that since he's both, would Barry even show up in a black and white photo?
