Sounded like a great idea to me.Side-note: Where the fuck is the male pill? It's 2013.

It's definitely one that, on paper, makes sense, but when applied to the real world, breaks down: a. because you can't say you have a 75% chance of extracting info, and b. because outside of movies. ticking bombs are rarely ticking in that manner.

Do you agree with torture? Yes
It then goes on to put in a scenario where it explains several different things with the ultimate question being would I torture this man? I've already told you I agree with it so why would I not torture him?
I've got my own question to the author of these quizzes, are you a tit?

In the author's own view if I agree to abortion but don't agree to being kidnapped but then agree to having seed-people growing out of my carpet i have internal contradictions?Facewon wrote:What do you mean, in his own views?

I got an inconsistency because I defined a person by a set of criteria that could only exist post-birth, then said abortion in late pregnancy is wrong. That's logically inconsistent. Maybe not morally or subjectively or whatever, but I am being inconsistent, which is a philosophical no-no.
