It was a TV show on today; so what's your views?

Would you save someone who was being mugged by a gang of lads?

Would you risk your life to save a child?

hmm, i don't think i could make that decision until i was placed in the situation. it's easy for me to sit here at my computer and say "of course i would" when in reality there could be a number of extraneous variable that would alter my decision making.

Wow they're getting mugged, they hand whatever over and then they get to walk free, if I was to jump in I'd get stabbed or something, **** that.

Its hard to answer that question, I could call the police, but the damge would have already have been done, and if I tried to stop them, well I'm small and puny so what would I actually do?

Kick them as hard as you can in the balls.

yeah especially a child, their life is more valuable than mine but only if they were actual in danger

If theres a gang I proberly wouldn't just in and help, ring the cops but thats about it because I wouldn't be able to help on my own, but if it was just one or two people then I'll proberly try and help out, but yeah you can't really say now.

Yes because you and pocketknife is going to take on a gang of lands, you'll get the **** kicked out of you and then get done for attacking them with a knife :rolleyes:

i'd have to agree with immenseman.

Depends on the situation, if it was like 20 teens beating up another teen then i'd leave it, if it was one or two people trying to mug somone then i'd probably step in

good, youre a ******

Caution

Yeah, unless it's by like a huge gang or anything. It's easier said than done, but I don't think I could walk past without doing anything.

I'm not sure.
If someone was getting mugged, probably. If it was an old woman or something like that.

And yeah I would risk my life to save a child, but I didn't know what you meant by that - if it was like a child needed first aid but they were in danger, yeah seeing as I know first aid.

Like I care? If they turned to me at least the other person would have a chance to get away. Worst comes to worst they beat the **** out of me but leave the other guy. Just because you wouldn't save anyone doesn't mean I wouldn't.

I think I would just call the police, but I have no idea what I would really do until I was actually put into that situation, like Immenseman said.

Hard to make a accurate decision untill your placed in the situation.

I probably would.

I agree. Psychological research has shown that people say they will do something but usually don't when they are actually put in that situation.

Your a mug. Carrying a knife is for pussys, its no wonder there is so much knife crime.

I don't know never been put in the situation. I'd probably give it a miss if there was a large group of them, would most likely ring the police although it would be a bit late.

I think I would, whether I would in the situation, with the shock and everything I'm not sure but I'd like to think I'd risk my life for them.

Maybe if you read more than just the first page you wouldn't have given me mindless -rep :D

I haven't given you mindless -rep babe.

and i did read the 2nd page, and i still think your a mug for carrying a knife. x

carrying knives doesnt make you look cool.


i would like to say yes, but probably not. depends on a number of circumstances; how many people were involved etc. ive been attacked before and even my friends didnt step in because they were so scared. So, i don't know. Probably not

I don't get it, the 2nd page doesn't make you look any better :S I was expecting to go back and see "I have it for my art course" or something justified, but instead you just stated how you were willing to stab someone, nice.

I wouldn't risk my life to save a stranger, but I'd save them if my life wasn't in any danger.

lew!
03-04-2009, 08:45 PM
To be honest, It would completely depend on the situation, there's no point trying to save someone when you know for a fact you're gonna get battered and not save the person! Whereas if you actually have an influence on the situation there's every point.

leah
03-04-2009, 09:00 PM
I don't know, I've never been in that situation before. It's easy to say yes or no but you don't know how you would react when you go into that state of shock.

If it was some random ass guy I wouldn't I'd just call the police let them take his stuff and let the police take it from their if it was a kid I probably would do something about it depending on how many their where and how old they looked etc.

to be honest, there is no way i could live with myself if i just left someone to die
