Default who do you take with you?

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/...-who-dies.html

from some recent "homework" assignment:

Quote:
The Earth is about to blow up and there’s only room on the spaceship for eight passengers. So who gets left behind?

For the assignment students were asked to choose between a list of 12 hypothetical people. Four would be left behind because “tomorrow the planet Earth is doomed.”

1) There was an accountant with a substance abuse problem,

2) a militant African-American medical student,

3) a 33-year-old Native American manager who does not speak English,

4) the accountant’s pregnant wife,

5) a famous novelist with a physical disability,

6) a 21-year-old female Muslim international student,

7) a female movie star who was recently the victim of a sexual assault,

8) a homosexual male professional athlete,

9) an Asian orphaned 12-year-old boy,

10) a 60-year-old Jewish university administrator,

11) and a Hispanic clergyman who is against homosexuality.

But the list also included an ugly stereotype – describing the final choice as

12) a “racist, armed police officer who has been accused of using excessive force.”
hmmm....tough choices.

we'll all just stay here and perish together?

everyone dies.

We'll need pictures of the women to help make the decision.

This is mostly easy since you only have to leave behind 4 people.

1. The homosexual male athlete. Will not help to propagate the species.
2. Aggressive, armed police officer. In a situation with only 8 people, could easily be disastrous to furthering our species. Racism makes no difference, he could kill someone which would severely damage ability to continue the species, or take ownership of all females leading to second generation inbreeding, dangerous to the continuation of the species.
3. Accountant with substance abuse problem. Could pose danger to the group. Other males available, no need for the risk
4. Only tricky one. Old professor, or disable author, depending on the disability.


Militant med student poses a danger, but also has medical skills so worth the risk. Clergyman could fall into same category as homosexual male, but it doesn't specifically state he's a Catholic preist, otherwise he's free to marry and procreate.

"11) Hispanic clergyman who is against homosexuality."

um....no, he's a faithful preacher of the Bible. if you don't like what the Bible says, your fight is not with the preacher (he's just a messenger), your fight is with God.

lots of luck.

Bring any wimmens regardless of age or deformity. Bring the kid as he is the future. If that is not 8 people take only the wimmens and the kid anyway.
