Neither is 100 grand. All you need is food, shelter, clothing, and water. You can find a cheap apartment in the city, Goodwill has plenty of cheap clothing, I guess you could get an EBT card or if you aren’t the type to take gov’t assistance, you could survive of bread and potatoes. Point is, you don’t need 100 grand to stay alive. 100 grand will get you a bigger house instead of a cheap apt., you could then eat steak and lobster, and you wouldn’t have to shop at Goodwill. So that argument fails.[/quote]
You just said it was someone’s life savings? This is what they are going to retire on when they break down and can’t work anymore. Sorry, still doesn’t work. Stop changing the example. A dog is not pertinent to your sustenance, however, your life savings/retirement fund is.

I know generally, human life is held higher than animal life. Saying that, if you had a dog that you were very close to and you had to choose to save the life of your dog or a random person, or even a person you knew, but really had no attatchment to, which one would you choose?
I used to have a dog that was like part of my family. And I know some may flame me for this, but I would have chose to save the life of my dog over 99.9% of people in the world. Probably because I felt more of an emotional attatchment to my dog, whereas most people, i am indifferent to. I was very sad when my dog died, and since then, have heard of several people that have died and it was really “thats too bad they died” by I cant say I felt any sadness per se.
What would anyone else do if the were faced with that situation?[/quote]
This is craziness. I would chose a person 99.9999% of the time. The only time I could imagine I wouldn’t chose a person is if they were a serial killer or something. How could anyone live with themselves knowing they’d chosen to allow a person to die so their frigging dog could live? WTF?

EDIT: I’m a bit late to the party I see.[/quote] Yes, late. But 100% the right answer.
I’d like to state for the record that I did not, and will not, be reading all 9 pages of this thread.I’m gonna guess that BG got in a fight with HG, or DP’d DN with Way, while gettin trololol’d by RV, who probably lives in an RV, and may or may not be down with OPP, but is definitely Down with the Syndrome. This isn’t SAMA so Hallowed won’t have the nakes, but that doesn’t mean I don’t right now. A man can do whatever he wants to whatever furniture he wants in his own home, and goddammit THAT’S MY GAWD GIVEN AMERICAN RIGHT!
cough
…anyway…
Humans will always put human lives first. Preservation of the species. Unless you’re a sociopath like Rogue, who would only save his cats. These are the same cats that, in the event of his death and slow decay in his basement apartment, would eat his soft parts once the food ran out.
