The Puppy or The Beggar

Archive: 46 posts


Just felt like getting a look at the kind of people we have here at LBPC, I figured I would execute a small experiment. You have the choice between saving the life of either a puppy or a beggar. You have nothing to do with the actual saving or death of either of them, and this isn't some trick question where the beggar is Jesus or the puppy grows up to save the lives of frostbitten scientists or anything stupid like that. It's a simple, straight-out question. Do you save the puppy, or the beggar?2010-09-14 15:34:00

The beggar..... You have to value a human life differently I think. Not that I don't value animals - I do immensely, but ya, gotta go with the human.2010-09-14 19:15:00

I'll go with Morgana on this one.
It's a really hard choice but between a human being and an animal, I'd have to choose the human.

The beggar, humans are more important in life then a puppy. Even though puppies are cute and id probably cry about it after and feel guilty woof

We are all equally worthless.
Homosapiens are parasites and other animals don't contribute anything to intellectual evolution.

I would save whichever was more useful to me at the time.

Domestic dogs are just a byproduct of humankind. Without them, humans go on living. Without us, 99% of them die. About evolution, domestic dogs are likely to evolve to be less suited to being anything other than canine couch potatoes as they adapt to human support.

I struggle to find the motives for whoever could honestly pick the puppy... I bet it's "cute".

Anthropocentric argument: As humans, we should support our species.
Scientific argument: The dog is less important in the grand scheme of livings.
Moral argument: Dogs have less potential to make people happy than a human.

I love dogs, and have one, but I have to agree with what Morgana says... The lives of a human versus a domesticated and plentiful animal should be valued differently.

I would save the human....but then I would smack him and be angry with him. How could he let his life get so bad?!
*off topic* I find it interesting how once a species develops self-consciousness and emotions for others. The evolution process slows down radically. Due to the fact that species won't solely pick a mate on how good the genes are, but also how they feel about them. At least that's what I think would happen *off topic*

I would choose no one.

I'd let 'em both die, because I'd have to hard of a time picking.

Let's tweak this experiment a little bit. The beggar is spared, but he is now replaced with Bremnen. SO it's between Brenmen and the puppy.

This is Bremnen:

This is Puppy:

As you make your decision, consider this; The wise prophet Bremnen has indeed stated that humans make no contributions to intelligent evolution.

I'm leaning towards the puppy now, don't you think?

LOL! You don't know how much I laughed xD! Oh man, you got burned Bremnen. Anyway, after seeing that girl throw puppies into a River, it showed me I care more for an animal than a human.

I'll save Bremnen. As much as I would like to bandwagon with Astrosimi, I think it's best to save a fellow member instead. God knows how long it'll be before I go mad with guilt just staring at his non-active avatar, knowing that because of me we have one less member to chat (or flame) with.2010-09-17 01:40:00

The beggar most likely ruined his own life and thus is a beggar by his own problems.

The puppy was simply born and that's it, not his faul he's a puppy.

In short, its the beggar's fault he's in that situation, yet the puppy couldn't help it.
Think about that one.

I remember reading a story about somebody who was spending all her time helping the homeless in Chicago. It was tragic. She said that for most of them, everything was going well until they lost their job or experienced some kind of accident.

There are a lot of stereotypes about the homeless, like that they beg because of laziness or spend their money on alcohol, and I don't think you can usually blame their position on their own mistakes.

Think about that one.

I think you forget there are underprivlidge kids that dont have the Talent for a job and the life was so cruel on them for making them born into the world, they may not even have clean water to bath in so who would want to hire a Dirty, Uneducated person who barely has accesability because they have no money for cars, bikes, buses, etc. They may want a better life but they cant get one.

Think about that one

Now that I think of it, saving the beggar is more important. Why?

Well, if you were suddenly caught yourself in a same situation, and the same beggar happened to come along, you can say "Hey, can you help me?" He/she will most likely save you in return for saving him/her. As for the dog, it'll probably sniff you and walk away.

Karma, no?
