A moral conundrom
« on: April 29, 2012, 08:41:52 AM »
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.

THE SITUATION:

You are in London.

There is chaos all around you caused by a tidal surge that causes the Thames severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photo-journalist 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 into 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 the Muslim Cleric, Abu Hamza, the one-eyed, hook handed bastard who hates non-Muslims and wants the UK to become an Islamic state!

 
You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

 
You have two options:

You can save the life of Abu or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most despised, evil and powerful men!

 NOW THE QUESTION:

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

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

Bombs do not choose. They will hit everything   ... Nikita Khrushchev

I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.  ... Nikita Khrushchev

While a difficult dilemma to ponder in such short period of time...I would, after agreeing with my deep,profound and unerring moral compass, have to use the high contrast color film..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You miss 100% of the shots that you DO NOT  take.........

Love it, Love it, Love it!!
Some people say I’m a horrible person, but it’s not true!  I have the heart of an innocent girl….in a jar, on my desk

Victims have a dignitary interest in justice and vindication without interminable delay caused by guilty prisoners’ attempts to stave off punishment.

I wouldn't use color film because he wouldn't be worth it.

Though I got to admit you got me good  ;D ;D
My reason for supporting the death penalty? A murderer has less of a right to live than his victim and already presents a danger while incarcerated for life. They have nothing to lose when the most they can get is Life in prison without parole.

After I got my foot off the top of his head, I would use whatever I had in the camera at the time. ;D ;D
" Closure? Closure is a misused word in the English language.  There is no such thing as closure for the family of a murder victim.  There will never be any closure for the death of our loved ones until we are dead ourselves.  The families have a lifetime sentence of anguish and sadness."
