You have escaped the gnomes, whatever doom you have chosen to befall humankind is purely up to personal preference however you are not out of the woods yet. In fact you have to journey through a forest that magically appeared around your house during your captivity. The forest was created by magical evil gnome powers you see. While journeying through the woods some guy zaps you with his magical golden spoon and suddenly and an equal copy of you is created (equal in body and mind) You both run, then notice each other then get confused. Then suddenly a giant venus fly trap with vine arms grabs your copy and begins pulling him/her in. Would you risk both your lives and save your copy or would you just say "screw it, your on your own" then run like hell? Why did you choose the decision you did?

Secondly if you manage to save your copy what would you do to him/her?

DISCUSS!

I would save my copy so I could have sex with him/myself. I would then have sex with him.

How do you know whether you're the copy or the original? You are both equal in every way including memories.

Because it says so in the OP that the other guy is the copy, obviously. ;)

I second the spirit of this post.

(Though I'd probably just be a coward and get away.)

Ha, the Venus Fly Trap would release my copy since he, and since he is a copy of me, and I are not Venus Flies. we would then work together and find our way out of these accursed woods then take over the Gnome Army. we would then divide the world between ourselves and let peace and harmony reign surpeme!

Wow. My ethics class was never like this...

My decision to help would depend on whether I believed I was capable of helping. If I was, I would.

If I managed to save my copy, I would pat it on the back and say, "Whew, that was close, eh?"


...yet another moral dilemma solved.

I would say a few words. "Flick that fly off your shoulder so we can get outta here!" I would then run, knowing that my copy would've done that same thing. We'd meet up, and discuss whether a mallet or a gun is more appropriate for killing gnomes over a game of chess. Being the same person, we'd decide on a gun that shoots mallets. We would then destroy the gnome armies, and be hailed as heroes of the world. After that, we'd start on Micheal Phelps with our mallet-guns.:D

And I would not have sex with myself.

You don't masturbate?

I already have enough sex with myself as it is, so that wouldn't be a reason to save him (except, you know, he's an exact copy except for gender, probably, as I do not subscribe to homosexual relationships. But wouldn't that be like incest?).

I'd still save my other self if it seemed possible. I would try to save other people, so why wouldn't I do that for my own awesome copy?

I guess we'd be in for some goofballesque jokes for a while (until we'd have to make our doppelgangerness public).

Not what I meant and you know it!:tongue:

Tough one, but not really. I would simply avoid this whole situation by not eating any of the magic mushrooms.

1) I'd run as fast as my cracker arse would take me

2) if I did save him it would end up like those mice who get no stimulus to talk to each other about and eat him

It dpeends... if I felt that the space time continuem (because face it existance is more important than any induvidual) would be endangered by a rescue than I would leave my copy to die... with an appology of course.

If the STC were safe and the fabric of reality would not unravel before my eyes than I would make an effort to rescue my trapped double.

I think I might train him as a super assassin, we'd split the pofits 50-50 because I would provide an alliby while he completed the tasks at hand.

...But wouldn't that be like incest?

Not if you're both the same gender.

Not if you're both the same gender.
Wait, how would you not?

Whatever, I would kill and consume myself, in order to have the power of two Fiddlebottomses!

Because it says so in the original post.

This brings up an interesting philosophical question, though: Is it possible for such a copy to truly be the same person? Wouldn't they change irrevocably upon existence into their own person over time? Even if the two people had identical origins up to a certain point, environmental factors--I would suppose, at any rate--should alter each individual so they become two different people.

Umm... I'd get a stunt-monkey to help me and then go wait in my house, the gnomes ARE dead after all, there's just one more crappy band out there I have to make sure not to listen to

Philosophical my ass! That's the basis of evolution, dummy!

Why does SL seem to live such a charmed life? He gets to post this fucking idiotic spam over and over again...and it's...okay?

Je suis very fucking confused.

Now I'm taking French for my 3rd year in 2 days, and I know phoque is pronouced "fuck" but I don't think that's proper French.

Btw, phoque=seal, in case you wanted to phoque with some of your friends' minds.

I gotta learn how to do the circonflex (nono, the circonflex is the dots, isn't it? Umm... trema is the hat thing?) on my keyboard (I think that's the ^ one)

If you REALLY thought this was spam you would have reported it. Since you didn't you were using MOD as a weapon.

God bless NSG. *bows to a picture of Jesus* Amen. :p

Was that actually an expression of sincere worship, or just another case of blasphemous mockery?
