Poll: Would you take a bullet for Anand?

[Pretender]

If by some chance you were walking along the street and saw someone pointing a gun at him, would you risk your life to save him?

 

[amdforlife]

no. me n a-dogg are homies and all, but i wouldnt risk my life to save his.

 

[damocles]

Maybe i would try and help, but no more so than for any other person

 

[snakesnfrogs]

sorry, but no---only for my family

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Ha Ha Ha nice topic


To answer your question : NO I do not leave the house

Sorry Anand

 

[kami]

Nope, sorry Anand. I don't even know you.

btw, what the hell kind of poll is this? haha

 

[Colt45]

what about, "would you take a bullet for the servers for the anandtech forums"..

 

[HansHurt]

I like to think I would do it for most people so I voted
YES...but if it actually happened I am not so sure.

 

[linuxboy]

ok, so let me get your reasoning here.


I see someone pointing a weapon at me, so I automatically assume that during the next second, the person will discharge the weapon? More effective techniques exist for dealing with a situation like this. If we were being held hostage, then I would see what the likelihood of survival of all parties was. Otherwise, what would happen?

You see a gun, and dive in front of the person to "save" him/her and the assailant would just see you fall down and start laughing? I don't see how this could actually happen in real life. And random abstractions serving no apparent purpose are avoided by myself.

 

[goodoptics]

Sorry, no, but I will try my best to save his life.

 

[bandXtrb]

Anand dying would affect me in no way whatsoever.

 

[Alienwho]

I would crouch next to his dying body and ask him to leave his fortune to me

Actually it happens a lot when FBI agents or security guards jump on top of an important person i.e. president so if any shooter shoots at him he will likely hit the agent not the president.

 

[Jex]

Ha ha! This is all a ploy to weed out those who are not true followers! Bet there'll be a whole batch of bannings next week!

 

[Josh]

Of course! I would kick the crap outta the bad guy and then make Anand repay me by giving me MODERATOR status and making me co-webmaster.

 

[gittyup]

Not unless there was a large sum of money involved and the bullet wasn't going to hit any vital organs.

 

[Wedesdo]

no. being a millionare, let him hire his own body guards...

geez.. this is such an @ss kissing thread!

 

[Crabapple]

I would if that bullet didnt kill me. But taking into mind that bullets are deadly it would defeat the whole purpose of helping out a millionaire.

 

[Mday]

i'd take a bullet for anyone =)

but my thrusting my body in front of the person would have to come after i pee my pants..

 

[Pyro]

only if he'd take one for me

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

Depends. Would I get Elite status?

 

[lamplighter]

No, but with my elite Counter-Strike skills I would save the day!

 

[fake]

hell-no.

 

[Paulson]

I wouldn't, but if he was hit, I'd try my best to help him (what I'd do for anyone)

Why the hell do you have to make it sound like he's god? He isn't, sorry to break the cover over your eyes, but it's the truth.

I hope he feels the same way.

 

[Triumph]

no! what the hell is wrong with you people? STOP WORSHIPPING ANAND! just leave the guy alone, jeez. Ever seen that SNL skit with the "Mr. Belvedere Fan Club?" It was a group that helped people deal with their unhealthy obsession with Mr. Belvedere:
"I SHOULD want to go up and shake Mr. Belvedere's hand. I SHOULDN'T want to put him in a jar and keep him in my basement."

I think you people need to get into one of these help groups.
