Moral Dilemma: The mad bomber

A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. It is possible that hundreds of people may die.

The authorities cannot make him divulge the location of the bombs by conventional methods. He refuses to say anything and requests a lawyer to protect his right against self-incrimination.

In exasperation, some high level official suggests torture. This would be illegal, of course, but the official thinks that it is nevertheless the right thing to do in this desperate situation.

Do you agree? If you do, would it also be morally justifiable to torture the mad bomber’s innocent wife if that is the only way to make him talk? Why?

Life's not a bitch

“Life’s not a bitch. Life’s a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch ’cause she won’t let you get that pussy.” – Aesop Rock, “Daylight”

Enjoy life. Play around on her. Cheat on her. Be faithful to her. Do what ever the fuck you want with her, or lay back and let her do what she wants with you. Just make sure to enjoy her, because soon you will be separated. You have been promised to another.

Remember, you’re not married to life. You can leave her whenever you want (and vice-versa). She’s merely your mistress, as you await your arranged-marriage with death.

Spend your bachelor party well. You only die once.
