1 is historically inaccurate - once you got into a concentration camp, your precise ethnicity mattered jack squat, and by 1943, gas chambers were almost a default choice (EDIT: once you were incapable of physical work). Plus, I am a Slav, and therefore not a chance that my family would NOT be exterminated if we got into a death camp.

3 is illogical. Luggage, non-essential electronics, if you massed everything on the ship that isn't people, food, water or required for the ship's operation, it would outweigh the crew + passengers. By far.

2 - I'd be surprised it went that far, since I would devote a lot of effort to prevent that in the first place. But I would probably go into a frothy rage and try ripping the executioner's throat out before they can react. And then hope I can stave them off long enough for either the execution to be postponed - always a glimmer of hope - or my kid to get away.
These are just situations man... I never said they *did* happen. It's a what-if thing.

Senario One: Most likely the daughter. I'd feel horrible about it later, but at least I don't have to do the "meet the boyfriend" thing later with the girl. [sub]..I'm a horrible person, aren't I?[/sub]

Senario Two: Kill him, and flee the country.

Senario Three: Does the statement "Sir, we tried to stop them, but.. zombies ate them all during the night. We barely survived!" answer this well enough?

1.Exploit the Nazi's weakness and expose my smooth chest.

2.Confuse the executioner with logic.

3. Announce to the passengers that we are going to sink and that our only hope is to jump over the sides. Count to ten. Announce that we are going to be fine. Problem solved.

(Guess which Escapist show, which may or may not have already ended, gets referenced in this post!)

1: Kill both those little fuckers, I hate kids.... lol but seriously for a second, probably the son cause I dont like the thought of some little douche having sex with my daughter, + I can teach my son to be a pimp. HEEEEEEEEYYYYYOOOOOOOO ok ok seriously now, probably my son cause back in those times family legacy was important.

2: Probably go on a murder spree starting with the executioner, then try and leave the country.

3: Dump the oldies, and the 7 yearolds who play on xbox live

1: I'd send the girl to the gas, because she seems innocent and probably wouldn't function well in a work camp. Putting her through that wouldn't feel right. (See that? I did a bad thing, but made it seem like a good thing.)

2: I'd kick the chair out from under her. If I understood the question rightly, she's been condemned to death. No matter what I do, she will die, and if I do it myself, then that means another person will be saved. Why the executioner doesn't just kill me, I have no idea.

3: What the hell is this boat doing with too many passengers? Who was in charge of setting weight restrictions? Throw that guy over the side. And also the people in charge of security. If there were stowaways (which should be the reason there's too much weight), it's them who were too incompetent to keep them off, or they succumbed to bribery.

1: If my son truly looked up to me, he'd do the valiant thing and offer himself. However, I'd probably send my daughter to the gas chamber so that her misery isn't prolonged as it would be in the work camps, where she would probably end up dying anyway.

2: I'd probably make mention of this threat to anyone and everyone that I could. But if that didn't result in anything, I'd show up at the execution with a dagger and kill the executioner. Yes, my child would die, and I would as well, but from the sounds of it, people were going to die, so at least I took the bastard with me.

3: This question is not nearly as good as the other two. People will always sail with luggage. These folk are about the lose some of their shit.

1. I would go ballistic and probably get myself killed.

2. No time for rational decision, burn as much shit down as possible. I honestly would never choose one person to die over the other, unless one was evil. The fact that my son would still be in jail condemned to hang, without me having allready lost my shit would make me befuzzled.

3. Do I have life boats? If so, I would load those up with a few people who would be willing to go, and send them off.

You are living in 1943 Europe, and are taken to a concentration camp. You have two children, one daughter who is as sweet as the sun is bright, and a son who looks up to you, and watches your every step. You are not a Jew, but your spouse was. When the Nazis discover this, they congratulate your non-Jewishness by letting you pick which of your kids is to be delivered to the gas chambers, and which to the work camps. How do you respond?
Say "Take my little girl!" and let her go, just like in Sophie's Choice.

1.

Neither, From the description my children would know me verry well and i plan on teaching my kids about honor pride and loyalty, So i would tell the nazi to piss off and go down fighting,
thay would know taht ther father did what a man should do, because if thay are my children thay are going to belive that it's better to die to protect the ones you love then to betray them.

2.

see above.

3.

I'm haveing troble believing that a pasenger boat wouldn't have a kitchen and a cargobay witch sounds like plenty of stuff to chuck overbord, but just for the sake of the topic i would have my crew gathered and tell them the situation and then ask them who would be joining me in the water, the "chief crewmen" would not be permited as he would be takeing my place as captain.

i would rather die a man then live as a coward and i'm sure someone will have something to say about my first couple of answers but thats why i like it here =).

I'm generally a consequentialist (I think I spelled that wrong), so in my opinion, what is morally good depends on the results each choice will yield. So in the first situation, I would probably choose the girl to die, because the boy would be morel likely to survive working in the labour camps.

In the second, and this may sound a little weird, but I would tell my kid how much I loved him/her, then I would kick out the chair... because I would possibly feel even worse if i just stood there while another person killed my child, than if I were to do it as tenderly as possible. Then I would wait until the executioner was alone, and I would kill him for making me do that to my child. Not really consequentialist, but a cock deserves it I think.

On the ship, I would ask for volunteers to leave the ship, then I would select the 'weaker' people, for the lack of a better word - so the old, the sick. And the fat people would have to go, because some of them weigh twice as much as the average person and therefore I am saving more people by throwing them off first.

those would be my 'solutions', not perfect, but reasonable I think.

Your answers are the most in line with mine.

1. Oh, Canada...

2. Kick The Chair or FINISH HIM! (whichever reference you prefer)

3. Try to resurrect Darwin's theory of natural selection in one, sweeping blow.

But on a serious note: I'd send my daughter to the gas chamber because my son would have a better chance of surviving the work camps, I'd refuse - I'm sure my husband would understand, and anything (passengers aside) that isn't attached to the boat goes.
