Would you shoot a poor old lady?

Marco_Simone SG

Ok before you respond this is part of ethical questions that have answers. Let's see how ethical and practical minded you are.

Question 1)

You are a sniper for you local police. There is a known terrorist that has murdered hundreds of people with bombs and beheadings. He has been cornered in a building and is holding a 75 year old lady hostage. There is no way to shoot him unless shooting through the old lady. If you don't take the shot he will escape. Would you shoot through the old lady? why or why not?
(remember you have no other options besides these ones)

Question 2)

You are a foreign diplomat that has to negotiate important deals for the name of the United States. Your position is very respected and you have to work out very important issues for the United States. You have met with the king of Iran and are discussing plans to capture terrorists in his nation. The king tells you that it is a custom for every representative of other countries to have personal mistresses in their room to serve him with every need including sex. Take in mind he has the hottest Jessica Alba type chicks and you are a married man. If you say no he might get offended and if you say yes you are cheating on your wife. Would you accept or not accept? are there other reasons you did or did not accept?

1) No. Cos SPF doesn't govern this. No such thing. Unless we get a clear sky else 'No Go'. and the bugger needs to see, he sure will pop his head out one...then we take the shot...

Q1)i shall see if there is another wae to sneak a shot on the criminal..be it waiting till he moves an inch for mi to shoot....or me getting into another building to get a good shot at his head..

If there is really no wae out..i'll shoot thru the old lady..thru the legs or some other less life-threatening parts..im certain the old lady would have given her consent too..

Q2)I'll do as the king says..not for my sexual pleasure..but for the clinching of the deals..

I'll then explain to my wife..though i've shared a bed wif another woman..my heart was still wif her throughout the intercourse..i'll add on to say that it was the king's custom..

Lastly,i vow not to do it again..

After all..i was under dire circumstances..she'll understand it..

Actually such questions are very common in selection tests for the Special Forces of any country Wink

Q1) No shot, 'cause law enforcers should save lives, not take them.

Q2) Reject the offer politely. If the king insists, keep the personal mistress in the room but respect in every ways so that she wouldn't feel humiliated or offended by not engaging her service (including sex). Well, if it's Jessica Alba, that's another case. Laughing

number one:look for non-life threatening part to shoot through if cannot...if not try to move around....
