Default Would you be willing?

1. Would you be willing to drop an atomic weapon on a Japanese city, if that would be the order the president gave you, which came about through democratic means? Assume you have no further knowledge on the strategical importance of the mission.


2. You're with a large group (~20) of friends. It's late at night. A pretty girl passes by. It's noticed by the group. The group takes a vote on whether they should rape the girl. Everyone is in favour, except you. They assume the girl is against as well. The majority rule in the given area wins and they are approaching her with intent of raping her. You are the only one carrying a gun. Are you going to stop them? Assume that you have to shoot one of them in the leg before they back off.

These "Find out if you're an ACer" quizzes are getting more and more bizarre each day.

there is no way this is related to AC. the rape question could happen with or without a government. actually without a government that kind of stuff is much more likely to happen (talking about the rape situation again).

the other situation wouldn't really come up, since the military would want to make sure the guy in charge of dropping the bomb was very comfortable with that. if no one was comfortable enough to do it, it simple would not happen unless they sent up two men (one with the finger on the trigger of the bomb, the other with his finger on the trigger of a gun pointed at the guy with his finger on the trigger of the bomb, and really that could happen in AC world too).

Two bombs were dropped on Japanese cities.

Many Germans who carried out similiar orders were tried and convicted of war crimes.

From the movie Jaws Quint tells the story of the ship which carried the bombs across the Pacific. It sank and many of the remaining survivors were killed by sharks.

For anyone who chose the same answer in both cases (y,y or n,n), what's the guiding principle for your decision?
