The group has for some reason decided that you, travis, will decide the order which you are lifted out of the mine. The people in the mine are as follows:

- Cancer patient with 3 more months to live
- Father of 4 kids
- Pregnant lady
- 4 year old girl
- Your best friend
- A lady who suffers from severe claustrophobia and is possibly not able to get up without freaking out (meaning she might end up spending a lot of time getting into the elevator and may be unable to get off the elevator at the top, therefore ending up coming down again. And she will absolutely not be able to get on by herself at the end.)
- Yourself
- Slayers Boxer
- A man with a suit and tie that offers you $100,000 to let him out 1st or $25,000 for the 2nd spot.
What order do they ascend?
Wtf, ahahah rofl..

Well, the lady with claustrophobia should really not be in there in the first place so her fault she can stay. Same goes for the 4 year old girl what the fuck is she doing in a mine? Cancer patient also shouldn't be in the mine.
1. Pregnant Lady - Saves 2 lives
2. SlayerS Boxer - Are you kidding me?
3. father of 4 kids - He needs to support his wife
4. Best friend - he's my friend he deserves it.
5. Myself - come on
6. convict - if it's akon he needs to keep up with his konvict music

A middle aged woman is in a persistive vegetative state. She has some higher brain activity, but not a lot. Her family wants the hospital to keep her on a ventilator because they believe God will intervene and save her. The doctors diagnose that the prospects of her recovery are bleak. They want to remove her from the ventilator to make bed space for another patient. What should the course of action be?
This scenario includes: Religion (God), consciousness, morality, death, emotion, sensation, maybe more... 1.) Did the woman express prior wishes that would push the decision in either direction? If so, this should take priority. 2.) Is the woman known to be in torment as a result of her state? If so, she should be taken off of the ventilator. 3.) If neither of these 2 conditions are met, the woman should be kept on the ventilator. People in this state still experience things. No advanced directive exists. Look up persistant vegetative state. It is a condition, nobody knows whether the person is suffering while they are in that state or not. How do you know she is experiencing things in that state? She cannot talk or express anything.

Neither. It is a thing. It is everything.

I think it means to be a "Christian" you must accept that Jesus is son of god and the messiah. the rest is just follow what he said since hes the son of god. so if you dont believe in Jesus, youre not a Christian by definition.
are you sure? because that seems retarded.

Could you elaborate?
Does it mean that you can't understand god, without understanding god as a man?
Or does it mean that you can't understand god without understanding the life of christ?

Any answer that is out of the box is good. Anyway someone else answered it and seemed to decide that all the people that didn't belong in the mine should stay there. I didn't quite get the logic behind that.

If you were in the mine for no reason at all than you might as well stay there. They had no business going down there so therefor it's there fault they are going to die.

The problem with imaginary numbers is their name. They arent imaginary at all. They are as real as 'real numbers'. Thats the first think you must accept before you can understand the beauty of complex numbers.
