These questions are so hard to answer I really don't want to kill anyone, but is it justified if you are saving 100x more people in the process?

Yes/no.

I don't value people's life the same. It's as easy as that.

Doing nothing (by not killing 1) is not taking the moral high ground. You can not absolve yourself by saying "it's not up to me to play god". Doing nothing is also an action. The statement of the moral question does not care, it is absolute. Say the question was stated such that you had to actively kill the 100 people. Would it change your answer?

No to both questions, since I don't believe that killing innocents is ever justified. Although the utilitarian argument seems reasonable on first inspection, I find many of the implications extremely troubling.

The answers SHOULD both be a 'no' so you you're not the one killing anybody but it gets tricky because 100x that amount dies as a direct result.

I voted yes to both cuz I think Ip Man would do the same.

Ip Man kicks alotta ass, you guys.
If you can do it; you should do it every time.

I don't get why this situation has to be forced into a deontological/consequentialist perspective. Once either branch of normative ethics are picked, there's going to be a million people doing the whole "fuck why don't we just moral calculus everything in sight" or "lol what are you going to do when 2 rights clash" thing. So why don't we just do a middle of the ground perspective based on our initial values?

Are you kidding me? Ip Man wouldn't say yes or no, he'd go and kick ass and save the 100 through wing chun. Duh.
