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.
I always carry a pocketknife with me, so yes to the first question.
And yes to the second question, no matter what the situation was.
no. whats the point of trying when you know you cant do it? why make it worse?
id walk away but ill be worried
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.Quote:

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:Quote:

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.Quote:

tbh i dno.
to the first question. i coulkd but id b scared
and 2 the second one deffinatly.
you see..
i may be put into tht place alot due to the fact im studying childcare i got to placement and children are in my care and will be when i get a job therefor im responsible for them and have no choice but to save them children.
:]
but i would anyway lol
Just get a liscense to carry :D
Prob just ignore it or join in or something idk as if I'm gonna put myself at risk though I'm worth too much
Or join in huh? That's so mean :(Quote:

but on the other hand if i didnt i woulnt.
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.Quote:

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 :DQuote:

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.Quote:

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.
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.
Lmao no who would.Quote:

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