Unlike religious nuts, I believe that all life has value, not just human. I would save all the living beings invovled. I don't care about your rules saying I could only save one. My answer is that I'd disobey your rules and get them all.
So, IOW, you would have to reprogram this exercise in order to win the Kobayashi Maru test.

You say that as if all regious people feel that way. You aren't going to win anyone over with that point of view.

There are "religious" people that are animal lovers. I am one of them. I however also do not feel my faith and beliefs should be forced on anyone. I believe in liberty. If 2 consenting adults want to get married so be it. Regardless of their gender, sex, etc. I could go on and on about legistlating morality (doesn't work) but that is a whole 'nother thread.

Not everyone that is religious necessarily feels their religion should dictate legistlation.

I agree with you, and I wish more religious people were like you, and less were like Brett.

Forget the dogma and the religious aspect; I think I understand the actual spirit of Christ better than you do, Brett.

Bearsbud's answer was the one in that spirit. It includes the most important aspect of Jesus' techings, which is compassion and love.

Thats me...compassionate and loving...

also..Just because your religion is against something and you are also..It doesnt necessarily mean your religion influenced your decision one way or the other..You decision could or not, be completely for other reasons

that owns you regularly

I think the majority of the board is quite aware who the bigger dumbass between us is. You have a reputation dating back to the CBMB days of being stupid to a comedic level. Own it and wear it.

The death of ten puppies will affect whom and to what extent, as opposed to the death of a human being? The answer for me lies somewhere near there, and would likely point to saving the human.

All kidding aside, **** the puppies, you gotta save the person first and foremost, right? ....unless it's like your mother-in-law.

Yep. When these dichotomous questions are posed, I always wonder "who is holding you to these rules in this scenario?". If it's some asshole playing a game like the doll character in the Saw movies, my answer is always attack the asshole who's trying to establish these terms.

^^^^

Never took the Kobayashi Maru.

It's not about rules. It's a scenario which tells you it is impossible to save both. Your answer thus becomes a cop out and not a rebellious thing. The lives of the puppies and the human are about to be extinguished, you only have time to get to the human or the puppies because in the time it takes to get to one or the other, the other(s) die.

Agree. If it was possible to save both, I would have included that as a poll option. If you don't see it, the opportunity to save both doesn't exist. C'mon guys.

Especially if it was Jay Cutler.

Right because attacking Jigsaw was always an option. Watch Saw VI and then imagine the 10 puppies on 1 ledge and the human on the other. You cannot save both or everyone dies, including you.

I'd save the person.

Then beat Spartan and JJ to death with 10 soggy puppy carcasses.
