So. There was a... philosophical converstaion going on today about morality? This was the...

First scenario:

There're 4 people on a track, and a runaway train comes along and kills them. But... THERE'S ANOTHER TRACK! With only 1 person! And YOU are in a position to pull a lever and divert the train so that, instead of killing the four people, the train will only kill 1.

I chose to kill a man.

I wasn't the only one.

Second scenario:

Same track. Same four people. This time? You on a bridge with a fat guy who would be able to stop the train... should you shove him off. Yeah, so realistic, I know. But!

I chose to kill a man.

I was the only one.

And, SURPRISE SURPRISE! Idiot that I am, I couldn't really vocalize myself all that well! I mean, I got a few things across (my choices for both situations are the same in that one person dies, the only difference is your emotional distance from the person you're killing) but...

Yeah, that didn't cut it. That's fine though. We joked around and I got called a murderer. All's good.

I'd go on about what I think, but yalls probably don't wanna hear it, so toodles.
