Matter of life and death. If you had to decide:

[survivor999]

between saving the life of your cute adorable puppy or of Senator Lieberman, both drowning in a pond.... Who would you save? WHY?

[lukasahero]

1. Is this a trick question?

FTR, not a moment's hesitation: puppy all the way.

[survivor999]

2. But Lieberman is human

You know, the sanctity of human life.

[femmocrat]

5. But the puppy is cute AND adorable!

Anyhow.... with my luck, the puppy is a Newfoundland who tows Joe to safety whilst I drown!

[idgiehkt]

7. "sanctity of human life"

isn't Lieberman pro-war?

:shrug:

[Tyler Durden]

22. "Sanctity of Human Life," a concept I've never really gotten.

Maybe it's because I really don't like PEOPLE very much and I love my dogs SO MUCH that I've forgiven the puppy for doing about $1000 worth of damage to furniture and rugs I can't afford to replace.

I think I would have killed one of the kids and cremated them in my Weber Kettle....


KIDDING!! (I think.)

24. I get more utility from the Puppy

Puppy wins.

[lukasahero]

25. And your point is? ;)

I don't prescribe to the idea that being human automatically elevates one to a higher state than being any other creature. That's just the human ego believing we're somehow superior.

[jilln]

3. Both.

[Haole Girl]

4. That puppy is too cute!

Sorry Joe.

[petronius]

6. Lieberman - I will choose to save a human over an animal in pretty much all circumstances

Anyway, any dog of mine had better be able to swim, and this would be a good learning opportunity...

[L A Woman]

8. The puppy - I would choose to save the life of an animal over a human in all circumstances n/t

[crim son]

9. Lieberman. In theory anyway, he's a human being.

But if they both drowned, I'd mourn the loss of the puppy for longer.

[Kutjara]

10. Since Lieberman's full of hot air...

he'd make an excellent floatation device, which I'd use to paddle out and rescue the puppy. After that, Lieberman can use his Jomentum to make it back to shore on his own.

[Laelth]

16. LOL

Nice. :rofl:

[survivor999]

11. Hey! Who voted "Go to hell?"

[Unvanguard]

12. My emotions say the puppy.

My ethical philosophy says the Senator.

I'm split, and cannot decide.

[yellowdogmi]

13. The puppy. At least he will be loyal. eom

[qnr]

14. The puppy, who would be instructed to hold Joe by the ear, and not gently n/t

[Laelth]

15. Gosh, that's tough!

I said Lieberman, but it was mainly because CT has a Republican governor.

:shrug:

-Laelth

[JVS]

17. I always save the human over the puppy

[Frank Cannon]

18. Lieberman's had a long, full life

Whereas the puppy has so much life and promise ahead of it.

It's God's will that the puppy be saved.

[SKKY]

19. I'm really sorry, but...

...that damn puppy is just pulling at my heart strings a little too much.

[IronLionZion]

20. since only one of the two has a soul,

Joe will have fend for himself as I rescue the puppy who is more likely to be loyal and appreciate it.

Both of them should be able to dog paddle themselves to safety anyway. If not then I'd still save the puppy but maybe throw joe a life preserver.

[Tyler Durden]

21. Hey, Joe probably has a soul, too.

Although we can't verify it by his actions.

[azmouse]

23. Does this involve Brazilians in any way?

:shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. aww puppies are cute..and dont send kids to war...
