Odds are high damn high five people stupid enough to walk on rail track vote Democrat.I believe the insurance co would say dont switch tracks because then the liability lies with you if you have followed all regs on approach....There's a stark lacking of good discussion topics on this board. So I thought I'd just throw a philosophy question out there, since I, and I'm sure many others, have zero desire to participate in many of the other useless threads, just uttering nonsense.
2 part scenario question. 1st scenario: you're the conductor of a train, there are 5 people ahed of you on the tracks that you will hit unless you switch tracks, which will cause you to hit one person. What do you do and why.
2nd scenario:You are observing the conductor from a bridge over the tracks. You notice he isn't paying attention, and there are 5 people he's about to hit, unless you can get his attention in time to switch tracks, where no one is standing. The only way to do this is to push an innocent bystander off the bridge onto the engine, that will alert the conductor about the oncoming people...what do you do?
It's a hypothetical, insurance companies don't exist. What would YOU do in this scenario. And why does everyone skip the second scenario.
Because it's a matter of life and death if they looked like this I would just run her over
There comes a time when you just have to let the stupid go. You would be saving the lives of five people who think they are smart enough to tell you how to live.
Now who looks stupid?
