The sinking ship dilemma thread.

Pighead

Where do you stand on the whole "Save the women and children first" school of thought that comes into play if say you were on a sinking boat out in the middle of the big blue sea? Should the chicks and the sproggs get the lifeboat just because their willies aren't as big as yours?

Pighead can’t see much reason for sacrificing himself for a strange woman or child. Pigheads a rubbish swimmer and chances are if I let Miss Stranger and her brat of a kid on a lifeboat ahead of me it'll result in death. And as everybody knows death is almost impossible to beat.

"Oh but Pighead men are physically stronger and therefore have a better chance of surviving" Thats crap, what are you gonna do, lift the ocean above your head in one mighty roar and throw all the dangerous water away? Nah, fcuk that. Every man woman and child for themselves says Pighead.

And who says chivalry is dead?



It's about the survival of the species! One dead Pighead and one alive female stranger improves the gene pool...

Kids, yes. Women, no.

It bugs the sh1t out of me how the life of a random woman is held in a higher regard than that of a random man.

i.e when people/news reports proclaim that 'women and children are amongst the dead'.

Children, fair enough, don't disagree with that, but specifing women is just an insult to the men who died.

Even if that one alive female stranger is coolsmileygirl or princess la la?

What if the kid is a right little fcuker though?

Like say it was a cruise ship you were on and you were sneakily checking out his mothers arse as she bent over to pick up her sunscreen and he proceeded to tell his mother what you were doing. Would you still save him then? No didn't think so.

I wasn't referring to the sinking ship dilemma myself, more a general comment on society.

However, you make a fair point, also, these kids have had less chance to get attached to their life, I'm quite attached to mine.

So I think if I saw an irritating one, or one with some meat on his bones, I might use him as a float.

If she was hot and offered me sex in return for letting her sit on my knee in the boat, then I'd let her on it.

Black Swan

Ask Hitchcock!

CherieAmour

One might argue that with men's infinite amount of sperm, they should be spared in order to go forth and procreate to compensate for lives lost.

With woman's limited time span for reproduction, it is clear that to save them before man makes little sense.

Hm?? Yes??

As a woman currently guaranteed a seat, I would be in favour of men over precocious little brats to share the lifeboat with!

Nope, not allowed pid(). Its either you or her. Hot sex doesn't come into it. Unless you make her sign smething that says she must give you hot sex if you give her your place and by some miracle you survive the oceans strong deathly grip.

The saying "Every man for himself" comes to mind.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I hear certain women can be used as floatation devices...

Ah sure all boats now have enough lifeboats for everyone on the ship.

Well this one doesn't smart arse, the safety inspector got pissed with the chamber maids and forgot to deck out the whole of the east side of the ship with lifeboats thus leaving a vast shortage.

So with that information in mind eamoss, would you save the women and chicks or would you save yourself?

exactly how many life boats are on this boat because if only a handful of people need to be left behind then just leave the gingers. men women and children gingers.

Being the highly efficient and fair chap that I am, I would say that, regardless of gender, the fatsos can drown since more skinny people would fit on the boat.

However, I would be the only fat one allowed on because it was my idea.

I think thats actually why the boat is sinking in the first place. Its gods way of saying he hates the colour ginger and he made a huge mistake!

Pighead

Well sometimes you have to choose whos lives are worth more in the greater scheme of things. Like if there were space for 3 people in a lifeboat and the 5 people on the sinking ship were Kofi Anan, Santa Claus, Adi Roche princess la la and faceman, then Pigheads pretty sure which two should be left to perish.

Dave!

I agree with the current set-up vis-à-vis lifeboats.

robinph

Survival of the fittest.

So I would allow hot chicks to share my boat, everyone else can drown.

Edited for accuracy.

I suppose if it were down to the survival of the species then it does seem odd that there wasn't a cut-off for women at ~40, let all the old women wait their turn with the men...

Dave!

I would have thought that it was more to do with men being generally stronger and more athletic than women, so they stand more chance of surviving in dire conditions...

But if the conditions are dire enough to require mass evacuation then the odds of a man surviving are not really higher than a woman's at all.

Like in a burning building, what's a man going to do that a woman can't? Beat the flames down with his manly man arms?

The problem is, physical strength does not help you survive in freezing waters. If you let the women and kids into the lifeboat you're signing you're own death warrant.

Would you let an 89 year old woman ahead of you? She's probably gonna die in a couple of years so surely you are more deserving of the place on the lifeboat?

Terry

Women retain more fat than men.
Fat retains heat.
Women go in the water.

Mena

I think I'd be one of the tits letting all the kids and wimmins take my seat. Well I like to think so at least, I've yet to be in the situation and I guess actions will speak louder than words.

You'd want the cut off earlier than that for them to be producing enough sprogs to ensure the survival of the species. Blokes on the other hand have a much longer shelf life on the reproducing front.

depends, if the woman was my wife then yeah she can have my life raft place. Any other munters can go fish

Any other munters would imply that you're wife will also be a munter. Good man L31mr0d, aim for the stars.

Exit

Why is everybody talking about 'survival of the species'? Is the whole of planet Earth on this boat? No wonder it's sinking.

nice1franko

Good point mister exit. The species is doing grand - too grand, you might say.

I am quietly confident that I'd be able to surpress that primitive urge to save the wimmins. After all, I have to surpress the primitive urge to fondle and sniff the wimmins fairly regularly, don't I? Except me smot. She gets sniffed and fondled twice a week minumum - except for the "off" week, or, "blow job week" as I like to call it, which is all well and good but back to the point: feck the wimmins.

edit-I might save a few sprogs though. It'd impress the other non dead wimmins back on shore.

thefinalstage

I would blow up the ship and than cut away all the lifeboats!!! Equality for all!

What good would a lifeboat be in a burning building?

"Paddle god damn you! The flames are getting closer!!!"



But yeah I see your point! Maybe it's because men are more resourceful and keep a more level head than women? Think of the panic if a woman is in the water and touches off a bit of seaweed!

Pighead I don't know if life merit is a good parameter to go by! Mother Theresa was an oul' wan and she did more good deeds (and helped mankind more) than probably most "normal" people...

I think Cherie has it bang on here. That would have been the traditional reason, apart from the women are weak and need more help logic. We men are fairly dispensible in the greater scheme of things. One man and 40 women would be far more reproductive than 40 men and one woman!

But of course, in the modern world, when it's probably more sensible to control the population so that we don't run out of space on our heavily polluted little blue-green sphere, we should probably reverse it. Men and male children first to the lifeboats. Save the world, drown the women.

Nah she would have got thrown off as well. In fairness her early work was good but since the early 70's Pighead always reckoned she's been living off past glories. A bit like Cat Stevens.

Oh hell when you put it that way

KilbarrackBlows

the way i see it
if you let women and children go first there more likely to be the first to drown so there for you would have more stuff to keep you afloat when you jump off the sinking ship so yes women and children first

Wossack

Id just shout "dont worry folks! I know what to do"

and be away paddling in my own lifeboat before they know what hit them

semantics pighead??? how far the mighty have fallen, for shame

It comes down really to a persons belief in an afterlife. I'd say all non-theists would be rolling the kids along the ground and knocking the women over like 10 pin bowling to get them out of the way and secure their seat on the life raft, as once this life ends, back into non existance they go. Whereas people that have a firm belief in some form of immortality would possibly happily give up their seat to help another and die blissfully knowing they would soon be in Elysium, or some other place with clouds and philadelphia.

Nala

As long as me and Mr Nala were ok I wouldn't be too concerned about strangers but I do think younger people should be saved before 90 year olds.
