Hey Guys James here asking for your help!
You may remember Episosd 33 of Ramblings we delved into some quite intense topics based on scenarios i have heard and wanted people's honest opinions, well i think we should do that again but this time instead of it being just me i want all of YOU! to come up with your own scenarios.
For people that have not heard Episode 33, i am big into things like The Technological Singularity and Exponential Growth the idea of PsuedoScience and what can be proven as fact or not by use of idealised experimentation. From listening to the "Weird Things" podcast (Which is a fantastic show and is worth listening too) i heard the scenarios they were asking and i applied them to the people in the show that week, and now i want YOU people to send in your scenarios and we will read them out and give honest opinions.
The Scenarios i am looking for can be strange (Stranger the better) or that can be a case of what would you do in a given situation, again for people that have not listened back to Episode 33 examples would be
Your given an island and a heafty amount of money to turn this island into a Utopia, with the intention that in 3 years people will come to inhabit and live on this island....What do you do?
Your child dies in a firework accident but is able to be cloned, do you ever tell the child that they are cloned?
Those are examples of the scenarios i am looking for, and when we have enough i will pick the best and we will read them out on Ramblings and gibve our honest opinions. So get cracking guys
Thanks Very Much
James!

you have a recently deceased rich relative. they leave you their $300m fortune, but there's a catch: in order to make sure you understand the value of money, you are given the task of disposing of $30m in 30 days. you are not allowed to have any assets to show for the $30m nor can you waste the money in anyway. also, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you are doing. if you are unable to do so, the money is given to two trustees. what do you do with the money?

you, your family, and your girlfriend go camping. your mother and girlfriend go for a walk, then a while later, you hear them scream. you run towards the sound and find your mother trapped by a bear and your girlfriend trapped by a rattlesnake. you only have a second to save one of them, who do you save?

That's the plot to the movie Brewster's Millions with Richard Pryor.

You are married and trying to have children. Your wife is giving birth in the hospital, and there are complications. You are given two options:
1.) If your wife gives birth, the child will be completely healthy, the child you've always wanted. However, your wife will not make it through the procedure.
2.) If you decide to save your wife, there will be a miscarriage, and your wife will be unable to ever have children of her own, and in order to save her life, conditions will exist to where she will never be able to have children in the future.
You love your wife dearly, are 100% committed to her, and cannot imagine life without her, but you have always wanted a child of your own. You do not believe in adoption because it is not "your child". What do you do?

You have the option to become immortal. What do you do?
Keep in mind that with immortality comes its price: You will watch everyone that you ever hold near and dear to your heart slip away into the darkness of death's embrace. Every family member, friend, girl/boyfriend, wife/husband, potential offspring... everyone that you care for and love will slip away to death, while you live forever, living with the constant torment of watching everyone you love die. What do you do? Do you live forever, constantly being tormented by sorrow as your friends and family members die, or do you live a normal life and die knowing that you've done all you can, and potentially die as happy as possible?

consider a future where pigs have been bred not only to speak, but also to desire being eaten as their life’s wish. How would this affect people’s willingness to eat meat?

You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?
You have been given the opportunity to create the half-hour TV show of your own design. What is it called and what's the premise?
The Celestial Gates Of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn't think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back?
What level of importance must a person have, before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Think of the last person who you really knew that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give one year of your life. Do you?
You are at the doctor’s office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? b) What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid?
If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000?
A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?

You can change your entire body to look like anyone you want it can be a real person or celebrity or it can be a movie, comic, or game character who do you choose and why and Karl when you say Batman you can't just say because you'd be the god damn Batman.
