You're on a desert island. The water is full of sharks. The vegetation is lethal, however there are animals that live off it. These animals are slow, stupid, and safe to eat. You have no possessions but a blunt rock, and there is nothing on the island that has not been mentioned.

How do you survive?


i would simply choose to die as everything happens for a reason.

Killing yourself? But killing is never the solution, Defraction!


honestly i would rather want myself to die than someone else to die. in this scenario, this is the lesser of two evils.

Would you kill plants and bacteria for your survival? What about insects? You do realise that your very existence results in animals being raised and killed to support you, not just for food but all kinds of products that your existence supports directly and indirectly. You breathe in oxygen, and breath out carbon dioxide; you are hurting the planet.

There is a train full of people and three tracks it could travel on;
* directly ahead, where it crashes into a building, killing everyone on the train
* to the left, where it runs over and kills a child
* to the right, where it runs over and kills many of your favourite animals

And you have control over which track it chooses. You must choose one, or everyone on the train dies anyway. Which do you choose?


I'm against violence altogether so i wouldn't kill plants and bacteria for my own survival because there are from God.

It's not my very existence that leads animals getting killed and exploited but rather the concept of free-will. There will always be someone who wants to kill someone and i can't intervene because they chose to kill that animal, thing or human being.

I never hurt the planet but it's rather factories and our previous generation that led to the corruption of our planet. Did you hear recently in the news that the ozone layer is healing up because people aren't using aerosols and CFCs as much as the past. So, consider our planet healing not going into further ruins.

I would pick the child but this scenario you are illustrating wasn't down to me but sometimes there are some situations that are out of your control. Also, the scenario you have just illustrated was caused by a train not an animal of such. I'm against violence between living things not objects.

I remember watching some documentaries and reading about the current Philippines president when he was mayor of one of the cities in the Philippines. He was well known for be very tough on crimes including drug usage. He is very much a supporter of capital punishment and he has been quite open about having killed people himself. I think he tends to favour such methods for dealing with criminal activities.

Surf one of the sharks back to civilisation obviously

So you photosynthesize?
"Go and kill harmless people with health problems" wow sounds like a top bloke

I feel like this is the way the UK is heading, especially if Theresa May becomes PM. She'll hang you just for thinking about drugs, or watching porn. Disgusting woman.

Killing animals and killing humans is not the same.

Yeah he seems like a lovely guy with his extrajudicial vigilantes and sexist remarks. He even made someone swallow a cigarette, what a guy!

Wow, absolutely horrific. If you support this you're a psychopath and a totalitarian. Let people do what they want with their own bodies, and let people sell them what they want, as long as it doesn't harm anyone but the user.

Theresa May is a stupid bint but absolutely nothing compared to this. No need for such outright sensationalism.

Morals only last until they are tested.

While the OP is clearly a hater/troll - his desert island idea - no you wouldnt die of starvation, you'd beat a creatures head in with a rock and eat i raw once you got hungry enough.
