It'd be hard, but it'd be for the greater good.
Paul
The greater good! Dozens/Hundreds/Thousands of innocent children die every year, would only make logical sense.
Hime Takamura
but it only stops it for 25 years. what if after that everything gets worse?
Jonneh
@Hime, 25 years of slaughter for 5 lives is a good trade.

I would do it anyway, at least this way everyone else gains from it.
furiouscucumber
hime, i would do same thing after 25 years.
rarity the unicorn
thats arguable. once that 25 years came to an end a total utter fucking shit storm would come out
Pjthebest10
Well, do you think that in the course of 25 years, less than 5 children die? It would indeed be a greater good.
Kevin S Burkhard
@Jonneh Not if after 25 years ever nation possess wmds and uses them. Something they would be unlikely to accomplish during wartime thanks to international attention.
Upbeatshadowchain
Don't give a fuck.
mohamed
I figure that all the shit in the middle east (I live in Egypt) is the result of human folly and stupid choices made by fucking psychopaths and idiots, it's not something beyond our power. so every human that dies in the middle east is his killer's fault. but if I were to kill 5 innocent children that would be on my head.
Arminage
People who voted red, you would rather have millions of innocent people die, including many kids over a period of 25 years rather than kill 5 children who would stop the deaths of thousands of innocent children.

@Hime kill 5 more children

everybody sayin what about after 25 years? well to make the sacrafices for the greater good im sad to say we have to kill 5 kids every 25 years.

I'll just look into the future then kill the bad people when they were innocent children

Snow
The lives of many outweigh the lives of a few.
Somerandomwizard
@johnDoe the way it's phrased is correct, it would be sure to stop the war because it says if it WOULD. If balances on your choice. It would work like: would you high five me if I gave you an apple? It means that you'd deffinetly receive the apple. Wait, why am I red!? I would bucher those children!
Micah Philson
The taliban and associates have tried that tactic. Somehow, it only made more fighting...
Harrison Payne
But it never says in red that it cant end the next year. In red, you still have the possibility for both. Easy decision.
Nikosony
The Middle East is not my problem, whats going on down there, ( I live in Denmark ), is just not something i can do anything about, i know that terrorism is my problem, but atleast it wasnt my fault. i dont want to be blamed of killing 5 innocent children. i rather have many innocent people die by some asshole, than me killing them. Cause in the end we are all in this together, and the ones that have been the assholes will be jugded by either humanity or god, ( believe in what you want ). Thats why i voted red.
Branch Phoenix
I would not want to kill 5 innocent children. If you chose it, then you are a murderer. I think that I would want to not be tracked by the police
epaRi
after these 25 years end the world will have more war technology and even worse wars so if the wars end in lets say like 3 years there may not be more wars !
KakaKarrotCake
You are just delaying more deaths by doing the blue answer. You may think of it being bad but the psychology of the colors makes you think "blue" would be more peaceful. Switch the colors or just ignore them and it would be a decent difference. But still, the war happened for a reason, all wars do end. Stopping the war for 25 years would just cause more deaths in another time. It's almost causing even worse bloodshed.
Jacob
@dsshorty wouldn't be hard for me… I don't have a conscience to slow me down.
smartboy2006
You could kill the worst of worst kids
Dawnss
@smartboy2006 acually no it says innocent kids
Dawnss
and also there's the fact that you would get arrested or get a death sentence because murdering people is bad enough but children, just no that's sick
xXbruhtootLOL
nice man
Buzzbuzz
Who could say they personally stopped death for 25 years? After that is up, they're on their own. I did my part for humanity
Forgottenslender
Emphasis on INNOCENT... It's one of the worst ethical crimes to kill an innocent child, you couldn't live with yourself killing FIVE children...
Serena Sandham
GUYS!!! KILL 5 KIDS, SAVE THOUSANDS OF KIDS!! It's simple! Let 5 innocents die or let thousands of innocents die. Then, every 25 years, just sacrifice 5 children for the greater good of thousands of children. Would you rather have 5 children die for the sake of future world leaders or scientists OR let thousands of people die because you wouldn't sacrifice for the greater good?
thegingerbreadman
...but it's better not to associate yourself with it cuz: You'd go to hell, it's only 25 years and you naturally won't feel good in you're self. So I don't think the lives of 5 children would be worth that amount of time. Just think about it.
Jbear50
sadly this is the greater good
Saint Deamon
*dons cultist robes* The greater good
[Unknown Person]
You kill 5 children, stopping 100+ kids from becoming suicide bombers...obvious choice...
moolook
since I already dont care about those wars... why should i do anything about it?
Richard Jones
"Greater good"? Hah! The concept that one life is less valuable than two lives is like the concept that infinity times two is greater than infinity. Life has no value because it is the medium on which all values are based.
PankanCola
Yep. I agree.
Midnight822
Wow i wouldent kill 5 children and i pressed the wrong button so ya lol
TRIXIESTAR
Moral dilemma aside, before doing anything to the children. I'd tell them why I'm going to kill them. Hopefully they can understand that their sacrifice will not be for nothing. And what if over those peaceful years the Middle Eastern Countries unite in a group alliance a La The Arab Union.
scott.peltier
well id do it to a kid who is about to suffer to death its painful but its an act of mercy oh undertale refrence
Scootastic XD
Who knows, It might be fun? .-.
Eddy
For Allahu Akbar? Fuck the Middle East! I hope they all will die in misery. How the fuck can u kill 5 innocent children to save the life of milions possible terrorists? Inshaallah
Elaena Stemann
You could also kill them in their sleep, it doesn't say you have to hold a gun to their head while there stare into your eyes with sad hoping souls.

you could end the dying kids

Greater good? I am your wife! I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get
Khiemisop
What is the point of stopping the war if you become as immoral as them.
Kelran
I'm not the red side, because it would only stop war for 25 years. then it will be back. if you chose red, then you basically chose blue. Just without killing innocent children. It also didn't say WHEN it would end. for all we know, it could end it 2 seconds. So you might have just killed 5 children for no reason.
RimmyTim
didnt say it couldnt be orphans
Alcatraz
It could end before 25 years is up, so you would have ended 5 kids lives for no reason
Eshan Haider
yes it will be so just do it
I'll follow the sun
Can't humans just get along and love each other?

but only for 25 years then after that they go back to the same old shit.

I'd love to kill 500 innocent children even if it were to do nothing, cause fuck kids amirite?

I think your a murderous ignorant arse hole, I'm sorry but you may as well be a terrorist or one of the people causing the very problems in the middle east...

would it really be hard?

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

But the effect is only temporary. The children's' deaths would be in vain.

I live in Britain so it wont effect me or my family. I know I'm selfish

It's either five or thousands lives, you have to think about the greater good
justabluewhale
Those children would likely have lived longer than 25 years.

Fuck, I'd kill 5 kids for free

you a sick fuck

same man but those 5 would go down in history

No sacrifice too great...
Emma
If you killed 5 children, it migh end war for only 25 years, IT WONT END WAR FOREVER, THERE IS NO PIONT
Nikolaj
Yeah it would be for the greater good for the next 25 years, and then they would just restart it all over again
Gabriel
How would that be hard? It's not like the kids are armed
Gabsone
think about it. kill 5 children, or with the terrorism and stuff have tons more children sold into sex slaves and other gross things like that. It would be hard to do, but for the best

warface363
when it says debate, it doesnt mean just saying no. it means back up your decision with reasoning. i vote yes because if i weren't to kill those children, i would thereby still be responsible for the deaths of the thousands in the middle east. even if you dont do it yourself. you may not like it, and you say "theres a better way!", it doesnt give you that option. its either 5 kids, or ONGOING wars and terrorism, not something you can stop. so you would be dooming the region to endless death and hardship. way to go you selfish jerks.
Evan Glick
By that logic you are therefore responsible for 1 instance of every bad thing every charity you've never donated to is trying to prevent.
Void
evan glick you are a retard. Just retarded. Go away, just please go.
turlough
no ones say killing the kids is not tthe moral high ground but could you do it
DatsRandom
So killing kids is better? I mean they don't get a say in it?
mouwersor
Many more innocent lives will be taken, in this case: the cause justifies the means
Carolyn
And by voting yes you are therefor bringing peace. and I guess you might have heard this "when theres peace in the middle east the world ends". Go ahead kill 5 children for peace that will ultimatly bring death to BILLIONS. I just backed my $hit up.
Fus-Ro-Dah
@Carolyn: What? What does that even mean? you think that when the Middle East finally gains peace, it'll mean the end of the world? how? There is not an ounce, nor even an IOTA of sense in your argument, nor did you back your "$hit" up. Please feel free to come back once you've gained some sense.
Garora
@turlough yes I could, I might kill myself afterwards but it would so be worth it, you are the worst type of person, you dont have a problem with evil as long as you are not directly and soley to blame
Utah G
More than 5 children die annually in syria alone. If only 5 died and bloodshed in iraq and syria ended for 25 years then I would probably take it.
NODAK
You would absolutely NOT be desponsible for the thousands of continued deaths if you chose not to slaughtered 5 innocent children. If a terrorist threatened to nuke a city unless you killed 5 random, only the terrorist is guilty of his actions when you refuse to comply.

I want to see the middle east destroy itself.

WHY IS EVERYBODY SO RUDE TO EACH OTHER THESE DAYS? THEY MAY WANT TO SEE THE MIDDLE EAST DESROY ITSELF BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU ALL HAVE TO BE RUDE DOES IT
GreenLemon
No
patrimac
that means that everybody that dies in the middle east for the next 25 years due to wars and terrorism would have been saved by you but you chose not to. The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few
yaritza
I will not be responsible for killing five innocent children. What i can't swe won't hurt me, I have not witnessed the terror in the middle east and as right now it isn't affecting me.
Yago Stecher
yaritza, please drop dead right now
Mike
lol @yaritza wait till you get to the real world my friend that will be really eye opening!
Calumfornia
While I voted blue I can see the merit with red. Killing 5 children would be the most tramatic thing to ever happen. It would make daily function extremely difficult unless you're a psychopath. Some people care about themselves and that's fine, that's human nature.
Mieuu
@Yago Stecher - what is wrong with you? Someone won't murder innocent children so they deserve to die?
Woo
@Yaritza American logic at its finest.
Carter Fitzsimons
Woo, It isn't American logic, it's human logic. The affects wouldn't be permanent, so it would still become a warzone again in the future. The only way to fix the middle east is to change the religious views, educational system, system of government, and others. To say it is for the greater good is moronic, for it only delays the inevitable and you just ended the life of five innocent children who didn't have a chance to live, you psychopath...
Lav Da Mermaid
you just let countless other children die :I
MarkTheGr8
First I was gonna go with killing the 5 children. But I remembered... OVERPOPULATION.. We're already growing too quickly. Someone mentioned something about dooming the middle east to hardships... Well, there's not enough resources in the world for everyone to have perfect lives. Some things are just not meant to be. It may sound cold, but in my experience I'd rather have more white and asian people than those of muslim nations. Racism? Probably. Now get over it. Furthermore, there is the chance wars would move from the middle east to somewhere else. History shows that if there is not war in one place, there is another. Lastly, another person said not killing the 5 children, would mean you're responsible for the wars, terrorism in the middle east. That is incorrect, as you cannot be held responsible for other's actions (in this case). Killing 5 children will get you behind bars, but to imprison someone for not killing 5 children? Good luck convincing the judge!
Cosmic Hawke
"Lastly, another person said not killing the 5 children, would mean you're responsible for the wars, terrorism in the middle east. That is incorrect, as you cannot be held responsible for other's actions (in this case)." No, you're incorrect about that. That's the whole point of the "would you rather" question, it bends reality so that you are responsible for the war in the Middle East (and the only solution killing 5 innocent children). Which is what makes it a hard, worthwhile and interesting question to answer. Also, fuck those sand niggers LOL.
MarkTheGr8
Well, Cosmic Hawke. I'm talking from a legal standpoint. No court would deem you guilty in the wars, because you said NO to killing 5 children. I could kill the 5 children, sure. Not something I'd be happy about though. I also believe the 50% who voted kill 5 children to be hypocrites. If they were willing to kill 5 children to stop the wars, why are they not even doing peaceful work to stop the wars? Can't answer that one, now can they! :D Still though, from a legal standpoint, you cannot be held responsible for the wars because you won't kill 5 children. Legal standpoint is more important than whatever standpoint you're trying to pull off.
dflaherty1996
the point of the would you rather question is that you can only have one of the two. therefore, we cannot do the peaceful approach
Mustafa Ashraf
you know, Islam isn't a country, its a religion, there is already a lot of muslim asians and europeans/white people. you just probably meant the arab world, which isn't only muslim, it has a lot of people that are christians
remeg oediv
really you think millions of people should die in the name of overpopulation plus chickens have us outnumbered CHICKENS
MarkTheGr8
People are already dying from overpopulation. And you know what? There's also more bacteria and atoms in the universe than people. BACTERIA AND ATOMS. I know. I'm as surprised as you are.
Fus-Ro-Dah
@MarkTheGr8: so...not at all? considering that for every person, there are trillions of atoms that their matter consists of, it makes sense that there are more of them...
Neves
i love you
KAQ
MarkTheGr8, I understood what you were saying until you said that it wasn't a person's responsibility for the war. Although it's not a person's responsibility for starting the war, it is for continuing the war if they didn't kill the children. You're talking a legal standpoint, were talking would-you-rather standpoint. Legal standpoints are real, would-you-rather standpoints are fake, so you are ruining the whole point of the question. And you said that the people that chose blue are hypocrites because they are not doing work to help the wars. WE ARE TALKING A WOULD-YOU-RATHER STANDPOINT! The game makes you choose to do something, but that doesn't mean you have to--or want to-- do it. So yeah, I can answer that, and work on your logic skills a tad bit, buddy. -KAQ
I <3 NoBoom
That is true
Johnny
Overpopulation isn't the problem. Literally if there was a city where everyone on earth could live it would only be the size of Texas. FUCKING Texas! The reason this city doesn't exist is greed. It's greed. If the everyone on earth had the an average american home we would need 10 EARTHS!

natebate3
omg i wanna change my answer now
Carlos Briseno
It wouldnt be worth 5 poor innocent kids for something that wont last
[deleted]
Those kids could might as well get killed in the war for all you know, and there are a lot more people that will go through a lot more suffering than those children if you choose the other option. Actually a lot more people would get murdered, though war, with your option, perhaps in more brutal ways than I'd choose. The killing of those children won't "last" either, unless you choose to become a serial killer
I <3 NoBoom
ikr
MyCotingaBird
5 out of 5 million children, buster! Think of the greater good!
natebate3
there would be probably more children die if the thing goes on so yeah
Meadsey
Same shit is going to continue in 25 years.

You are a fool.
Whalesy
But it would save millions of lifes

we dont need millions of more lives.
Kelran
I agree @Neves
Juuzou Suzuya
I think we do need millions of more lives. So that I can kill them all myself.
cheylabob
Well they could be innocent terminally ill comatose orphan kids for all we know... Seems legit. Plus, for those religious people, then they get to go to heaven. Amidoinitrite?
isadora
It'd be a good trade, but i don't get to do that, to decide that.
Juuzou Suzuya
actually, the whole point of this game is to give you the ability to decide that.

like i care what those brown people do between themselves. 5 or 25k it doesnt matter. i wouldnt kill anyone myself, but i would need confirmation that no nuclear war would take place. otherwise shotguns and napalm cant rly hurt me all ti does is rid the earth of overpopulation, which is a good thing.

Well, considering your choice would lead directly to thousands of deaths (including children, and probably a lot more than 5 of them), then you WOULD be killing people yourself; just not physically with your hands.
Neves
@ryan but theyre brown kids..

Being a brown person myself I actually found that funny

I couldn't do it. I just couldn't!

It doesn't matter if you kill one person or a million people... You're still a killer.
MyCotingaBird
Have you seen 24? Probably not.
Sean MacLean
Either way innocent children are going to be killed. It's really a way up between losing five or losing a lot more than five.
youat2inthemorning
sacrifice one thing, receive a lot of blessings.
b1tchf4ce
Perhaps once I killed the kids, they would get their act together and start a civilization which excludes bloodshed in the future
clu97
The deaths, while horrible, are not my responsibility. I don't see any justification for murdering someone else besides saving yourself or a loved one, and I think that's also the view legally.
Mo_money
So saving millions of lives is not a justification for killing 5 peopl
MyCotingaBird
Family matters, yes, but that is not an excuse to let millions die.
Jakub Bj Boukal
This one is really tough, but even if I would be one of that child I would sacrifice myself

I would rather bomb all the terrorrist headquarters than kill one innocent child!!
Johnny
You do realize not everyone there is a terrorist right?
MyCotingaBird
Good luck with that.
BrandonToddCarr
Don't postpone a problem for 25 years by killing innocent children.
Azer Faraclas
According to John Rawls it's what I you ought to do.
Rodding Bigrod
This would be effective but people are right after 25 years it will proabaly be worse and i mean you can't argue that it wont because the goverment and humans in genral are greedy and competitive cunts. Ps. I'm an alien
Kuusou
For me it has nothing to do with getting my hands dirty. It just feels like a cop out for what should naturally end. 25 years is not and actual end to thing, just a cease fire. I would basically be killing 5 children in order to release a butterfly from its cocoon too early.
ryan
Just for the fun of it.
MyCotingaBird
That is just sick.
some jewish dude
only if those kids get a memorial or something
Morgan
let's say that abortion counts. Become a doctor. Abort 5 pregnancies. Save the world. Become successful. Profit.
MarkTheGr8
Abortion cannot count, as abortion is only legal within a timeframe wherein the fetus is a fetus, not yet a baby or human. A biological growth, so to say. That countries differ in this timeframe is not of importance. Also, most of the 50% who voted to kill 5 innocent children, are not smart enough to become doctors.
MyCotingaBird
OF COURSE ABORTION COUNTS, YOU DUMBASSES!!! Especially late-term abortions!
jerem
i wouldn't find it hard at all, all of you red fucks don't deserve to live
Ethan Sims
Once the 25 years are over kill 5 more kids. Loophole
Sam
You'd save more lives in that 25 years by killing 5 children. Letting the wars go on would only lead to the loss of a lot more lives.
Arthur
how could one choose red? you get to kill kids aaand do something good for the world :)
MyCotingaBird
Because they are cowards who would not save the many.
GareBear
If even one innocent life is taken on purpose then it is not worth it.
jerem
okay batman, sit down now
p01arb33r
by letting the wars continue, you slaughter more than 5 children and tons of other good people. red fails.
SOLAR
You gotta have a brain the size of peanut if you don’t understand thousands would die in the midst of war innocent soldiers dying. thousands dead or five dead but never forgotten
BlueRay
its not gonna stop it forever, not worth it
Kevin ANAL
You are a hero than
jenna
idk ohh man
Jakob Harnisch
There probably died 5 innocent children somewhere already since you began reading this comment.
Xavier
It would have to be done :( but quickly! ;)
Yomama
In 25 years millions have died in the Middle East so 5 kids wouldn't make a diffrence
MyCotingaBird
Then why did you pick the first option?
Marcus Panico
I'd just pick really annoying horrible children. GIMME ICECREAM, GIMME ICECREAM!!! Stab him in throat.. Shit, fuck the people in the Middle East, I'll do it anyway.
Jessie Reyna
They have to end it themselves
Jad
How can they end it when there not the ones starting it.

How?

Meh, I personally don't like children anyways.

What the hell adam ripberger Middle East is my home and it might seem as though there is not a lot of killing there but millions of people get killed in these wars!!!!!!!

Just nuke the middle east. Screw ee
