Theoretical Question: If you had a choice between feeding your children...

[bhanson]

You're in a time of depression and you have limited food and money. You have enough food to either feed your children (no food for you), or you can feed yourself (no food for your children, you'd have to watch them starve.)

The catch is, say you know the outcome of the situation both ways. If you feed yourself, then at your job you are able to perform very well and you happen to just get a very nice promotion leading your family out of poverty.

The other outcome is that you are able to feed your children, but your lack of energy from your malnourishment causes you not to get that promotion. Which would you choose?

My wife breast feeds so the kid gets to eat for free.

 

[hypn0tik]

I'd feed my children. They don't deserve to or need to be hungry

 

[leftyman]

i would drive to McDonalds and order off the $ menu. thus feeding all of us, and sparing me the pain of voting in your idiotic poll.

 

[illusion88]

Id kill my neighbors and steal their food. I hate those bastards.
Yes neighbors, I mean you.

 

[CaptnKirk]

Think of the children !


you can eat them later . .

 

[Coquito]

If I seriously knew how to see into the future & how to get that promotion, I would eat. Turn it back to reality, I would feed my children.

 

[Scarpozzi]

1. Feed the children
2. Fatten up the children
3. EAT the children
4. Profit!!!!

Shoplifiting food FTW. If a store employee tries to stop me, I'll knock him out, kidnap him, and use my secret chinese method of disposing of the evidence and feeding everyone at the same time!

On a more serious note; In the most industrialized nation in the world, anyone starving is completely unacceptable.

Feed them the inside of the potato, causing them to die of malnutrition while I eat the skin, which is packed with nutrients.

Easy choice. I'm going to eat. If you feed them instead of yourself, then you're just postponing their deaths until after you die.

Eat my own offspring FTW.

 

[captains]

eat the children then go to work

 

[illusion88]

WE need a vote for kill your neighbors. Because I am defiently going to kill them before I miss a single meal

 

[iamtrout]

Eat for yourself, and then purposefully not get that promotion so that you can watch your family die.

 

[FoBoT]

i would give my kids the food, then sneak into bhanson's house and get his food for myself (unless bhanson has kids, then i guess i'm screwed)

 

[PingSpike]

Also, there is no option to eat one of my own limbs like in that stephen king story "survivor type".

 

[tweakmm]

Where is the option for eating the boss?
Or feeding my children to my boss?

 

[iwearnosox]

FrankyJunior's wife breast feeds so I eat for free.

 

[LeiZaK]

Sometimes I think an alien culture owns all the fast food places, and is fattening us up for harvest. It looks like it's working, there's heifers everywhere.

 

[Ausm]

In the depression most poor people went into farming to sustain their families and there is no way I would willingly let an innocent child starve to death.

Easy, the kids.

 

[darkxshade]

And theoretically, can't I eat half and let the children get the other half?
