LotusRIP Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 There are two buttons in front of you... RED - You get a copy of GTAV today. Somebody out there in a third-world country, somebody you've never met, dies. BLUE - You never get to play GTAV, ever. Somebody out there in a third-world country that you've never met, is given a lifetime of wealth and freedom. Which would you push? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusRIP Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Honestly though... I'm interested to see what everyone's perspective is on GTAV, and just what lengths people are willing to go to for what is just a video game. Social experiment.

People will die regardless of meaningless things like choosing to play game now or never or later. It's not like i am activating nuclear warhead ffs.

DarrinPA Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Somebody out there in a third-world country that you've never met, is given a lifetime of wealth and freedom. Sure, I may have never met them, but I may meet them in the future, in which case I'll just bring some GTA to real life... No I'm kidding. But seriously, how do you know that the 3rd world country person's family isn't going to be offered "Push the RED button and the person responsible for your wealth will die and you keep this wealth, Push the BLUE button and you lose all this wealth, but the person lives. I'm a good guy, I voted BLUE. But if they were asking about taking away my GTA SA..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about how you perceive that statement. TWN could mean a more civilized but dirt poor middle-eastern nation like Iran, or a small disease-stricken African nation. I assumed he meant the latter, so I chose red. Those poor African nations have starving children and disease everywhere and they drop like flies everyday unfortunately, so it wouldn't be a hard choice for me.

r0eladn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Blue.. There is always GTA VI to look forward to.. Next question: Either never brush your teeth again or someone dies in Africa. Question after that: Either you never eat again or someone dies in Africa. After that: Either you lose all your loved ones or someone dies in Africa. After that: You must be homeless for the rest of your life or someone dies in Africa. Do i need to go on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Vacuum Seal Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Red. - If their life is bad enough, then death would be a reward. - 154,808 people die everday CIA Factbook. If I don't press it, 154,808 people die. If I do press it, then 154,809 people die. A person dies anyway. -'Third world' doesn't mean Somalia/poor. It is a non-aligned nation during the Cold War (includes India, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Mexico, many potentially decent envrionments). -Whose to say that this person is or isn't more entitled to wealth and freedom than I am to GTAV? Neither of us is entitled to either of those things; it's reality. So I chose a reality that at least includes GTAV. *Good Topic though. I like where this will lead .

Well i didn't choose that because of people of 3rd world countries, i don't think that they are less valuable or important than people from the rest of the world, but mortality percent is certainly very high in those parts of the world. I'm choosing red regardless if it is any part of the world, people will die, from bullet, cancer, car accident, etc. If poll was to choose between death or life of my loved ones that would be another story, i just don't have any feelings for people that i don't know or never heard of.

But with that chain of argumentation you could justify about any crime. Just take 9/11 for an example. The hijackers didn't know any of the people they killed. They did it because from their perspective, all westerners live a miserable life and also because they thought they find salvation thorugh it and automatically book a ticket for paradise. With you argumentation those actions would be justified because people die anyway and it's actually good that it happened in New York because it already has a comparatively higher crime and death rate than other American cities. (I'm exaggerating of course, but basically that's your line of argumentation.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
