Adolf Hitler and a gorilla are drowning in a river. You can only save 1.

[This account no longer in use.]

Which one is the fiscal conservative and which one is the social conservative? That will play a role.

Western Hitler is more fiscally conservative, while eastern Hitler is more socially conservative.

and the gorilla is SOCIAL LIBERAL, FISCLA CONSREVERVTVE!!!!

Like me lol

If five hitlers and one gorilla are tied to the train tracks and you can throw an infertile fat gorilla to stop the train, would you do so?

[TDAS04]

I'd risk my life for neither.  If there was no risk to myself, the gorilla.  I wouldn't save Hitler if I could save both.

Is time travel the reason for multiple Hitlers being there at once?  If so, then why save the Hitlers?  You know they'll be fine, since they have to go back in time to replicate themselves.

What if time travel was invented specifically to produce multiple Hitlers? If so, would you travel back in time to prevent time travel from being invented, even if this means throwing a gorilla into a river?

There are multiple Hitlers because Dave Leip required them as moderators.

Western Hitler is more fiscally conservative, while eastern Hitler is more socially conservative.

This isn't the exact same question, but who would you save - A) Hitler or B) a person with an IQ score of 0-30?

For me, it's obviously the second person, at least knowing what Hitler is capable of. 

Is he capable of living a richer, more reflective, more human, more meaningful life with a broader range of thoughts and emotions.?  Sure.  but I don't care, because he is evil.  F*** him.

This is an excellent proxy question for 'so just how much of a eugenicist are you'?

Narrowly BRTD over Hitler.

Throwing a gorilla into a river sounds pretty fun, so I'd do that regardless.

If the Hitlers are moderators, then no, I'm not saving them.  Though might the fat infertile gorilla not also be a mod?  Seems like a no-win scenario.

Generally human life takes precedence over animal life, but this is an exception. I wouldn't save Hitler even if I could save both.

[Green Line]

I would save baby Hitler, but not teenage and up Hitler.

[dax00]

Neither. I simply wouldn't be interested. If I had to save one, it'd probably be Hitler, for I could have him tied up and ransomed.

[Leinad]

Obviously Hitler, so I could get rich and famous off of discovering someone who history had previously believed to be long since dead.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

What if it's all taking place in some bizzarro universe, where Hitler is just a random, innocent dude, while a gorilla leads a totalitarian state?

Wait, is Tony saying that if Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was captured and arrested, he'd choose to save his life over that of an innocent animal's?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Are you saying that if he was captured we should just kill him? I thought you were against the death penalty.

What's the heck is wrong with you? Of course! Who wouldn't?! A basic human right.

No I wouldn't execute him, but I wouldn't exactly lift a finger to save him either. And yeah, I sure as hell would rather save my parents' beloved cat that I also grew up with rather than him. I assume you've seen Batman Begins right? Think of what Batman says and does to the villain at the end.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Actually a plausible implementation of the human vs. animal life issue here is with poaching. For example in India and South Africa, it's legal to use deadly force against poachers if needed to save any animals. I don't disagree with that.

Yes, but isn't Hitler a Reagan Democrat?
