Do you believe you would retain your moral compass in extreme situations?

[Oblivion 20,266]

I'll kill the attacker. I'll do what it takes to ensure I live to go home. I always have a pistol and or a knife and I'm never ever unarmed.

Yep, fight or flight, I would probably fight!

"Because I am armed, I am never afraid"

[FatalRain 108]

I think of myself as a decent person

I'm not the best person in the world, but I'm certainly not the worst

 

In that situation, I'm almost sure that I would rather be killed than kill someone else

First of all, I wouldn't have the guts to kill a human being...hell, I couldn't kill an animal

Second, what would living really do for me? I'm sure no matter what I said, law enforcement would only focus on the fact that I had killed someone and ergo I'd be spending a lot of time in jail

Roll a diplomacy check and try to outwit my way out of this.

[ChoroChii 284]

I don't think I'm a very good person but I doubt I could kill. In a situation like this, I'd probably panic and get shot weather I wanted to kill or not. I would be much too scared to think or react at all, probably. 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I'm a pretty good person, but I would have to kill the attacker.

[Judgement 445]

I would make them think I am about to kill the person and then at the last second, fling around and attempt to shoot him and his other thugs.

[Evil Nightmares 552]

I'm not the good guy, so i guess that makes me the bad guy.

As for the "kill someone" situation, i'd gladly take a bullet to the head and wait for everything to go dark.

Wow, that is pretty dark man, at least you said you wouldn't kill someone though!

[Shanks 10,816]

Since the mugger was stupid enough to give me a gun I will pretend to cooperate and then turn the gun on the mugger last minute and make this his last mistake.

heh clever XD

 

i would do the same thing :3

[Frostgage 7,975]

Well as most people have said, if the mugger is just giving me the gun it's pretty obvious who I'm gonna shoot.

 

But if the intended question was would I kill a stranger to save my own life... yeah, I probably would, and I think most people would do the same. I wouldn't be proud of it, but I value my own life more than someone I've never met before.

A perfectly honest answer is always nice, and I honestly believe that a lot of people would do the same thing.

I also would choose my own life in such a situation. I find it funny how many people dodged the question by saying they would find another way out of the situation, even though they knew what you really meant. If they were really sure of their honour they would just answer that they would rather die.

Could also be bluff. Or maybe even a straight Charisma check.

I know in situations like this I'm too stupid to turn the gun onto the bad guy but at the same time I'm also too stupid to save my own life. So I'd die. RIP in peace. Etc.

Daw, don't call yourself stupid bro, then you might actually start to believe it!

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

I'd kill them. I wouldn't know the person, it wouldn't affect my life in anyway. I'd straight up murder them as long as I got to live.

[Oblivion 20,266]

HAHA, now people are being a little more honest, yes, I would probably end up getting myself shot because I would COMPLETELY lose my cool in a situation like that!
