    What about parents or spouses/significant others? Or do you care?

    i clearly gave you four choices.

    if you're not smart enough to figure out you have to pick one of them, then dont vote sweetie.

    I was just simply wondering why you didn't include them. Like I ask, do you just not care? Or were you not thinking about them? Or do you only care about yourself?

    I know how to vote-I'm not from Florida.

    (no offense to anyone who is...it's a joke, although I'm sure it'll get blown out of proportion, since I said it)

    I think I know why DM didn't include parents or spouses...

    Everyone would automatically let their parents fall off the cliff, in order to get that inheritance...

    If a spouse was push----UHHHH...I mean, fell off a cliff, you would get the life insurance policy...:)

    princess i think you have this whole dumb sheltered girl act going so people wont get mad at you for making ignorant comments, but unlike the other guys on this board im not afraid to tell you how much i dislike you and almost every other word you say.

    i care about my family deeply and its just a poll so put your panties in the drier.

    ALSO

    your spouse should be your bestfriend so the choice is there.
    as a matter of fact, anyone can fall under the bestfriend category.

    Wow, something we agree on! (I'm sure you'll chage your ideas about that subject now). But I whole heartedly feel that way.

    And I really did wonder why you didn't include that. My mom is almost like a best friend to me, but I couldn't put that on the same level because it's very different. Either way, I voted. :)

    Knowing Myself. I wouldnt accept you "fact" that i could only save one person. I would likely attempt to halp save whomever is closest. I play no favorites. i will of cource assume that I can save myself with my friend/sibling/ whatever. so in accordance to your rules. i would die i guess.

    if it was just a decision made in a room at a desk and someone dies, i would have to weigh it out at thast moment. i couldnt choose my brother to live, because knowing that someone died for him would be too much for him to bear. he is just too sensawtive like that. at the same time he is likely most deserving. if when given this choice my best frienbd had just becoime a dad or something i would make the sacrafice, otherwise i would go on in live and make their loss a focul point for my success. i would endeavor to make their dreams come true.

    as far as signifigant other. well its sad to say, but i have no doubt that there are other women out there, and eventually i would find another acceptable mate. if i do not find one i could live on my own, im cool with that too. but it is harder to live without a friend or brother. Ive had them all my life. no woman i have ever dated/loved was there when my bro/best friend/I snuck out of our houses as kids, as we first all drank together. as we all went to Mardi Gras, as we went to our first paintball tournament.... My best friend is like a brother and my brother is like a best friend. so somewhere in my above rambling is my answer, however It dosnt fit your poll so i didnt vote.

    peace

    Interesting...

    I was asked this before...not exactly the same options, but it still caused the same thought process.

    This is a serious question.

    I will always vote to save the youngest of the group...excluding me. I don't think I need to explain that.

    I would save myself. I consider it suicide if you choose not to save yourself, because you are making a choice to die.

    "Authority is not given to you, Steward of Gondor, to order the hour of your death. And only the heathen kings, under the domination of the Dark Power, did thus, slaying themselves in pride and despair, murdering their own kin to ease their death."
    -Mithrandir

    Actually, its not suicide, I just needed an excuse to use that quote. ;)

    That does bring up an interesting point Nomar. But like VOR said, you will probably think you could save yourself in the process. Like, if you are drowning and you choose person A you would have to swim to shore with him, so you would probably think you would live as well.

    I would think though in that situation, anyone I'm with would be able to save themselves to, so the whole thing is irrelevent! ;)

    First of all, it's horrible to even think about this. But, I'm the oldest out of the 3 of us, and the thought of anything happening to my brother and sister is morbid. I love my friends, but if I HAD to make a choice, I would save my siblings.

    I think that DiSeAsEd MoNkEy hates her parents, and wishes that they'd fall off a cliff.:p

    I thought the same thing when I was a kid. :)

    Too much personal hatred going on in here lately. Makes me yearn for the days of yesteryear when the hatred was reserved strictly for the

    Utah Spazz
    David Stern
    Peter Vecsey
    Karla Malone
    Butt Hugger Stockton
    and "Its amazing how much Kobe is like MJ" Bob Costas

    And P.S. About half of marriages end up in divorce, so to say that your spouse "should be" your best friend may sound like a great thing to say, but only about half of them could maybe make the claim. So quit hating, and choose not to answer a post that annoys you so. Like I do with Crispee. :D

    Actually, in due retrospect. I would guess of those who consider themselves marginally to happily married; couples claim each other their "best friend". When deep down inside if one all knowing being could read their intentions, there would be someone else who actually is.
