Surviving? Is it worth it.

[BeardyMan]

You should be careful when trying to break up fights. Friend of mine saw one in the town center late at night, one bloke pasting another. He stopped the car, jumped out and tried to stop it. BOTH of the people fighting turned on him.

Keep yer nose out of other peoples business!

absolutely, mind our own business and stay alive to look after our own families.

Yes and what if it was you on the receiving end.
I assume you are prepared to get what ever is given, even unto death?

How'd you know that its not a set up?

and when you bring that poor wretched girl back to your camp with your family, she doesn't kill one or all of yours to try and take your stuff?

Sorry but morals now, depending on the situation as I cant risk dying, because who'll look after mine?

Absolutely no morals after, if its nothing to do with mine, apart from dispatching the attacker from a distance if I saw fit if I could with no danger to me or mine at all.

It's not pretty robin hood fantasy land after an event, people would rip your knackers of for food and kill your lot as well.

Theres no room for hero's in survival, its about being careful, calculating and planning.
Isnt that what were doing now?

Whats the point of throwing it all away on some stranger and possibly leaving your wife and kids alone to defend themselves alone.

Maybe if your single looking to rescue a girl to be a hero....

[bigpaul]

its the old "Badger game" P1, females have been used for centuries as bait to lure in an unsuspecting male only to be jumped on by her males partners from the bushes! leave well alone, make a huge detour around the location and carry on your way home, that way you should get back safe and well to your family who are relying on you to keep them safe and well...no one else matters, that is where our duty lies not with strangers........

TO RIGHT B.P. TOO RIGHT.

This is a conversation I have opened many times before.

For me, it is all situationally dependent.

With the rape one, as an example, have you ever smacked out a guy whom hit his girlfriend? EVERY time I see it, or have been involved in it, the woman turns on her 'rescuer'. Let's say a woman is being raped. You shoot the guy dead. Turns out he was her husband. She WILL turn on you. You'd have to be willing to shoot her as well as him, in that situation. Women be crazy hu? haha

As Beardyman says, first and foremost is me and mine. If they're safe, only then would I possibly get involved.

and everyone draws the line somewhere different. Ain't human nature great. That is why we survive so well. We think things through and we all come to different conclusions from the same data.
