Re: Would you be willing?
[ QUOTE ]
These "Find out if you're an ACer" quizzes are getting more and more bizarre each day. [/ QUOTE ] 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).

Re: Would you be willing?
[ QUOTE ]
If I decline dropping the bomb, is the bomb not going to get dropped (by someone else)? [/ QUOTE ] You could drop *this* bomb in the ocean, but no, that doesn't guarantee that it won't happen later. Like the rape scenario, voting this time against the raping and trying to stop them forcefully this time does not guarantee no raping someone ever by someone else.

Re: Would you be willing?
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.

Re: Would you be willing?
Yes for both. Rationale is that the bomb is most likely going to get dropped even if I don't do it.
For the second one, this girl will most likely not be raped in her life so if I can spare her it will save her from a lot of agony.

Re: Would you be willing?
Nielso would you rather us have laid siege to Japan and killed twice as many civillians by means of starvation/conventional bombing?
Or would you rather us just leave japan alone and let them ransack the pacific rim and posibly more.
