Default Re: Would you save 10 million people?

is it really the fact that they've "done something" for you. if you have a newborn baby, it hasn't done anything for you but you'd save it. what's the real reason.

Because I would love my baby and it would be my duty as a parent to protect it with my life if I had to.

I do not have any love for 10 million random strangers, nor do I feel any sense of duty to go on a suicide mission to protect them.

Would I risk my life to save them? Sure... but I won't walk into certain death.

I've been very polite and answered your questions. Now I would like for you to answer mine.

Why would YOU sacrifice your life, the only life you will ever have, and leave all of your loved ones behind, to save a bunch of people who have never and will possibly never influence your life or the life of anyone you ever have or ever will be a part of?

because in theory i don't think i'm more important than anyone else. in practice of course it doesn't always work out this way. but idealy i don't think that.
