Re: OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.
 

As to the morals of this question. I think that any journalist that fail's to render aid to someone in favor of taking the shot, as did the journalists who killed Princes Diania, then yes, they should be charged with a crime and sentenced to prison.

However, if by rendering assistance the Journalists life would be put in to jepordy, then no... they should not render assitance.

Ahhh Princess Di, really she should be used as an advert for what happends if you don't wear a seatbelt. Just ask the bodyguard, he's still breathing unlike everyone else who was in the car.

Sadly I don't think that public service advert will be made, I can't think why......

OK, I voted for taking a picture, then running off to loot a video camera so I could capture the event 'live' as well. Where does that put my moral compass?

Re: OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.
 

You know if it was anyone else and I mean any other woman I would save their life.

Now as far as Hillary Clinton goes I must admit I'd have cause to pause and consider, I mean she IS suspected of having people murdered......I mean they all just "conveniently" commited suicide? Bull!

That AND she wants to run for President which scares the living crap out of me I mean Bush is funny for his little oddities I don't think he's a crusading maniac like many here, but HER! she's just too.....inhumanly cold?

Re: OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.
 

Ah, I think you are right. I was mistaken that it was talking about Republicans because of the "...wife of the impeached President of the United States..." line. Not exactly a politically unbiased way to describe someone.

Re: OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.
 

El Presidente Clinton (Mk II) or El Presidente Arnie.

Tough choice really, even from a comedy point of view. On the one hand Arnie would make me laugh, on the other hand Hillary seems fairly inept so would make comedy mistakes

I think the deciding factor is that Hillary would scare fundamentalist christians as much as Bush scares everyone else, so I'd go with her just for balance.

Heh, speaking of comedy moments, did anyone see that clip from China where Bush was being questioned by the press & someone asked a question he didn't like so he did the typical Dubya thing and stormed off... except he couldn't get out because the doors at the side of the stage were locked? Classic.

Anyway, I actually heard the 'morality test' as a joke a while back, where it's all the same up to 'you spot a drowning man, and the moral dillema is do you jump in and save him, or take an award winning picture of the human tragedy. Then you suddenly realize the drowning man is George Bush (or insert whichever public figure you dislike), and the dillema becomes, black & white or colour.'

Re: OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.
 

Yes, laughed my *** off too. Ah well, could have happened to any one. It's just funnier that it had to happen to Bush.. I would fire the aid in charge of doors for that blunder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I would promote the guy and give him a medal while we're at it too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I would go for the normal camera with color film and the zoom lens camera with black&white. That way, you can see her in the "big picture" in full color, but the close-up shot of the face is classy b&w, bringing forth the emotion* better.

(* = happiness and joy, of course!)

Re: OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.
 

Full-Colour Film everytime.

If I think Black and White would be better, That's what Photoshop is there for. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
