Humans are well above dogs or any other animal. The question itself, of who would you save, is so absurd to me. It's like asking would you save your cat? your goldfish? your pet snake?, etc... none of those are anywhere near the value of a human life, and neither is a dog.
It's a proven fact that increasing the number of abortions directly decreases the amount of murders and violent crimes. What's that mean? A lot of humans are pure trash.
Also, they way you're carrying on, I hope you send 3/4 your income to charities in 3rd world countries.
A lifetime with the red pill.Did you take the blue pill or the red one?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.It's a proven fact that increasing the number of abortions directly decreases the amount of murders and violent crimes.
Non sequitur.What's that mean? A lot of humans are pure trash.
I think we need a second poll. Do you actually have a fucking dog? Then we can correlate the comments people are making to that poll. I would bet 80-90% of the people getting on their moral high horse about human vs. animal, do not have a dog.
Yep this is probably the case.. I consider my dog my family fucking with family is not a good thing..
The same thing if you do not have children, before I had a kid I could not see the point.
I don't think it's the case at all. There are plenty of dog owners capable of rational thought who would save the stranger.
Human > Dog
It's really that simple folks. The dog may be "part of your family", but that doesn't morph it into a human. It's still just a dog.
So you're driving yourself crazy wondering why everyone else doesn't behave how you think they should behave by your logic and your qualifications? That's going to be one miserable life you're going to lead.
Try to approach dating with this mentality and you'll be in a mental hospital in no time. Human behavior is based on emotions which can't be justified and are definitely not rational.
I own a dog and have owned dogs. I love my dog, but I am not evil enough to let a human die for my dog.
I understand the love of your dog, I get emotionally distressed when my dog get bugs bothering her in her sleep. But I DON'T LET A HUMAN DIE FOR HER. Even if the human is the type that would let me or another human being die for their dog.
what a miserable world of people that exist today.
I'd be pretty bummed if I saved your brother instead of my dog...your brother has no meaning to me, he will go on living his life without me in it, and it won't effect me any more than the fact that my dog is dead. And if I saved my dog instead it wouldn't effect me that your brother is dead because he was a complete stranger to begin with...
Did I say I was driving myself crazy???
No need to worry about dating, I'm married.
Not all human behavior is based on emotion....everyone has emotions,
those that aren't scumbags THINK before acting on those emotions.
You thinking Humans are more worth saving is just as emotional as most of us thinking our dog is more worth saving. Almost every decision we make is emotion based, even when we often claim it's "rational". Very few things we do or say are actually rational.
Many people here have given you "rational" arguments for why the dog choice is more rational in their opinion - like the dog might save their life one day and protects them at night from buglers. These are thought-out answers. As you can see, "rational" is usually just a word to try and justify anything we want to justify.
You say humans are superior to dogs (intellectually i presume). So what. If there was an alien species that came to earth that was 100x superior to us I'd still save my dog first, then a human stranger, then the alien stranger. I'm sure you'd save the human over the alien even though ALIEN > HUMAN.
