Who would you save?

[lovely]

You're in a boat. In that boat is your mother/father, child, and spouse. That boat is sinking. You are safe but you can only save one other person. Who would that be?

[Mocha]

My child..

[nubianx2]

My child.

My Child

We have done this thread before.

I would save my child. My parents & spouse would understand. That child has so much of life to live and so much to experience and do. My parents & spouse have lived a pretty full life.

I sorry:rolleyes: I couldnt remember. The reason I ask is because a friend of mine just came from a marriage seminar and they were asked that question. Of course most people said their children(i would too)..but the speaker said that it should be your spouse! I didnt understand. My friend is looking up the reason behind his answer. I will let ya'll know when i find out.

i was thinking my spouse. i noticed the women said child. i know why the answer should be spouse. do i want the argument???

just a quote, "the best way to be a good father is to be a great husband, and the way to be a good mother is to be a great wife."

i love my son and would die for him. if i marry again, he'll have to learn that my duties as husband are priority one. that's what a father can teach his son - how to be a man.

with your spouse you can have another child and depending on the child's
age.....they haven't lived long enough to experience anything significant....if the child is young..however if the child is older, they can no doubt help your ass save your spouse....

I'm a stand by your man kinda woman so it would be my spouse.

I remember when someone said that they would choose there spouse because you can make other children...

I would save my child because the same reason Juicy said, mother/father lived there lives and spouse. I could save my spouse and that fool live me, and I let my child die for him:confused: Your child will always be your child no matter what thats a guaretee. Your husband/wife is not.

...it's easy for me to say my spouse. I can't think of it any other way. But since it's slow at work, I have time to play with this. The truth is, it's an impossible question to answer, because if you really think of it in the context that it's presented: having very little time, it is likely that you will all perish because no one would want to leave any of the other behind. But that answer wouldn't be allowed, so it becomes a useless exercise because the theory of making that pick does not jibe with the reality of actually being there, and being in the moment.

Obviously, I would be the thorn in the speaker's side. I wouldn't let him/her set up the scenario. How could you be in a boat that's sinking, yet you be safe? By what means? You have a life preserver? Another boat? You can fly? Really, it's not that I want to be a pain (Okay, just a little...) but I want to really give it a true test, to get a true answer. I'd have to imagine the anxiety, the pressing urgency of time running out, and with all the people being people I care about, I would be thinking of more than just choosing between them. What am I standing on that isn't sinking, and why can't more than one other person stand [b]here[\b]? How big is the child, can't they get on the spouse's shoulders? Etc.... You don't have the time to run through the deliberations.

I guess what it comes down to is, these seminar speakers get big bucks, the least I can do is make them suffer a little for it.

Your husband/wife is not. lends me to believe that not enough women take responsibilty for choosing bad mates. <---the other side of the men aib't no good coin. maybe a whole nuva thread, or has that one been done, too?

[PecanTan]

I would save my son, I am sure that is what my husband would want me to do. My mother is already deceased, and my father is alive, but hopefully he would understand.

[mystkev]

If my husband were to save me instead of our child, I would be angry w/him. Then I would have to live w/o my child that I gave life to. Aren't we supposed to protect our children? Grown people can protect themselves.

I can see why people would choose their spouse, but I wouldn't even choose him after my child, my mom would be next, then my spouse.

Well said my brotha........

the fool that left ya was that nigga that knocked you up.....so I see the significance of saving the child......but just like the child, you'll never have a husband (and I said husband...ie the man you love; not the nigga that knocked you up after a hot night of sex) like the one you let drown if you had the opportunity to save him....

and just like andre said..these types of questions are so open-ended and really dont make much sense if they dont build the scenario properly....

[que90nek]

my spouse...we can make other children.

my answer was the same the last time this question was asked.

[sistuhchey]

My child....hang on sweet pea momma's on her way!!!

[dulce]

like mack said, these questions are so open especially since there are instances when the nukka that left (or was put out as the case may be...) was a husband and not some one night freak session. But I would save my child! A child is dependent on its parents to take care of them...what would I look like slacking on that responsibility to save a grown-ass man?

[que90nek]

my wife is my other half
she completes me
without her
i am
in
com
plete

[dulce]

Que, I guess I can't understand that because I have never felt that way about anyone...husband, boyfriend, whatever...must be missing out...

[OhSoPrecious]

I would still save my child~!!!! :hammer And, just find another Nigga to replace the one that drowned~!! :blah: :D

I would feel really bad about my parents though~!! :(

[que90nek]

maybe someday...u will understand...

maybe.

[OhSoPrecious]

Yeah, m-a-y-b-e~!! :rolleyes:

(sigh)

There's a maternal bond between mother and child, that when danger is near that mother goes into overload...to spare her young. I've read other post when the Hush fellows response was they'd kill for their child.....:eek: :eek: :eek: ...so squash it..let lil que be out there drowining...you'll be knocking folks in the head to get to him and save him/her

[que90nek]

thank you for setting me straight chey...

lmao ... i agree here... i would do the same... i like this thread...

[D2daO2da]

I would stay and find a way to save everyone. We should all pray together and whatever God wants is fine with me. I would not save myself.. The captain wouldn't leave this ship. But to answer the question.. I would save my child and let my spouse take my place. I have to make sure that I paid the insurance premium that month.
