I dunno. Based on the scenario you set forth, I think I'd have a pretty decent shot at it.

the guy is a major bada$$. he is fully armed and has years of combat experience. you cant do jack-squat to him.

How do I know that? Based on the description he's just some random dude with a gun. I'm gonna get my ass shot trying to find out. Thats my choice. If I'm lucky I'll manage to get in one of my thumb to eye gouges before I go down, I can only assume by dad will be right behind me.

Does he have an AK or a 9mm pistol? I'm pretty confident I can take a couple 9mm rounds to the body and keep on coming, provided I'm determined...or a little drunk.

I think if you had kids you wouldn't say that, but even if you would I suspect that your grandparents would sacrifice themselves for their grandchildren.

I was just kidding. I of course have no kids so you are correct it would be much harder to decide then.

Kill the kids 'cause we can always have more, then kill the OP for making this thread.

Buahaha, it took this long to come out.


My answer: It's not bloody likely to happen so I refuse to waste time on it. But I will check out the results. :D

I'd take out my folks.

That way their legacy and gift to the world could live on. I'm sure they would choose the same. (well mom would god rest her soul and so would dad)

Kill the parents and SO, not like it would be an easy decision. But the kids could pass on the family genes and name at least.

Both parents = inheritence (and if you just chose 1 the remaining would be pissed at you)

One kind = the other will love being a single child!

Wow, this is the worst question/thread EVAR.

How can you choose who to sacrifice between your loved ones? Geez. If the situation ever happened, I can even begin to imagine what I would be thinking, and I don't think I can really "plan" for this either.

"Who do you want me to kill?"
"Oh, let me pull out my Cliff's Notes. Here, start with Aunt Sally.."

:thumbsdown:

your post was a 0/10 for sure. obviously no one wants to be in this situation, but thanks for the in-depth analysis.
