Default Morality test. (nicked from another site)

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.




THE SITUATION

You are in England, York to be specific.

There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.

This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photo-journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos.

There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing into the water.

Nature is unleashing all its destructive fury.



THE TEST

Suddenly, you see a man in the water.

He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer... Somehow, the man looks familiar...
You suddenly realise who it is... It's Gordon Brown! You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options:

You can save the life of Gordon Brown or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most powerful men!



THE QUESTION

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...















Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Ask him to hold onto the concrete block you're about to "pass" him (throw at his head).

Stand on his head, pushing him into the middle of the torrent of water with whatever is at hand - confident in the knowledge that any bruises etc will be covered by the effects of the pulversing effect of the swirling water.
Shoot the classic head going under and the grasping hand just breaking through the water as he goes under for the last time.
Oh and shoot in whatever film is in the camera !

Houses only swirl and blow away in cheap *** america

Who gets tornados, hurricanes and flash floods, yet builds their houses of wood?

To be honest Spoon, so would I. (as I would hope any human being would do for me)

But then - after his rescue - would question him about fuel tax, then try my damnest to pop his cloggs with me digi camera (it's old now and as heavy as a house brick) then steal his wallet.

You see I'd make sure he was kept warm and comfortable until he could be taken somewhere safe.

Alan, from your last but one post it appears you are grieving over the £18 difference. I hear you, I feel for you.

Simple, colour all the way, the market for B/W pics is relatively limited these days, so the colour pics would net you more cash ..... plus you can convert colur to B/W but not the other way round
