Morality Test

This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.
Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
THE SITUATION
You are in England, York to be precise.
There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.
This is a flood of biblical proportions.
You are a photo-journalist working for a major newspaper, and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You’re trying to shoot career-making photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing into the water.
Nature is unleashing all its destructive fury.
THE TEST
Suddenly, you see a man in the water.
He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.
You move closer… Somehow, the man looks familiar…
You suddenly realize who it is… It’s Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of the UK! You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options:
You can save the life of Gordon Brown or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country’s most powerful men!
THE QUESTION
Here’s the question, and please give an honest answer…....





Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Black and white. So much more classy!

I'll have to pop in here more often been a great afternoon!

A major newspaper should be supplying something like a Nikon D3, so neither.
f/8 probably though, for the picture of the other bloke, this powerful chap.

i think this has been a useful debate and has clearly shown that lefties are hysterical imbeciles.

Vote Gordon Brown so this family can have more holidays and a bigger Merc.

Some very unpleasant posts on here.

However, truly shocking OP.

I really hate to agree with either The White Horse, or The Telegraph (though I did warm to the Telegraph after its expenses expose), but it is just absolutely shocking and wrong that we are incentivising people to live in this way, off the rest of us.

Even if we could amply afford it, to encourage people to be that lazy would be dubious; but at a point when we as a country face record deficits and a yawning chasm in our budgets, it's just incomprehensible.

Quite sick.

The amount of money this family has withdrawn from society must be staggering. It's not just the £42,000 in benefits every year, it's cost of sending her seven children through the education system, and giving them coverage on the NHS. The real figure they are costing society is probably at least £100,000/year.

Allowing people on benefits to have an unlimited amount of children is pure lunacy, and I'm sure being brought up in a workless household gives the children a mindset that it is acceptable or even normal not to work.

It's not for us to 'allow' or otherwise people to have as many children as they wish; the question is hw we incentivise it.

High contrast film; you can desaturate it in photoshop, and it'll look better than black and white.

The_White_Horse

but to be fair, they deserve it all for nothing. because, well, they are worth it.

personally, i can't wait for them to have another 7 little bundles of joy.

i am sure all of them will grow up into responsible adults and will all contribute to society.

Benefits should stop at 2 or 3 children. If you want more after that then make sure you can afford it.
