Of course. No one "deserves" to drown. I believe that all people are [eventually] reclaimable and retrainable.
-
"Help" WHO? I don't see anyone drowning. What are you talking about? +5
-
I think most of us have an instinct to save someone who is truly in peril. I might take a look to see if it is a trap to drown me, but if I was sure I would do it. As a result this person would see the error of his ways about people of my race, gender, sexuality, etc.
-
No, I've only just eaten lunch you see, & I wouldn't want to get cramp or anything.
-
It is not about me and this person. It's about me and God so of course I would help.
-
Jerk or not, he/she is still a human being. I would attempt a rescue. Now, if said person had previously walked into a diner and gunned down 20 people, I can't say with certainty that I'd have enough forgiveness in me. But from simply being offensive and obnoxious towards me, no problem.
-
I would help them. Should they live, they'll forever have to deal with the fact that a believed lesser person saved their life, and that feeling would be their punishment; much more persistant than death. Selfish, I know, but nevertheless, I would come to their aid. Perhaps maybe they'd learn from it; perhaps not. My conscience would not be clean if I did not help.
-
Of course. This really makes me think of the movie "Crash".
-
It is not my judgement nor anyone else for them to die except god. I would help them because of this, and because i know i couldnt live with myself if i let a human being die before my eyes.
-
Yes.
-
Ahhhh YEAH! Of course I would help them in any way that I could! Just because they have BEEN AN ASSHOLE, doesn't mean...they can not CHANGE! What if this is their big chance...?? It's the right thing FOR ME TO DO...and I sure don't want to piss away someone else's opportunity to grow and change!
-
sure
-
Yes I'd help. Just because that person is a d*ck doesn't mean I have to be one. Besides letting someone die isn't something I could make myself do under any circumstance.
-
I have to because I am moral.
-
If you are able to help and refuse you are a murderer.
-
I'd be too busy trying to save the person to even notice who the person is. +4
-
I am sure I would react as I would for most anyone else. If a rescue could be made without undue risk to my own life, I would. . If I didn't, I would end up despising myself!
-
Yes, my vows, oaths, and promises would compel me to at least attempt a rescue, even if doing so endangers my own life. This is what REAL Ninja do.
-
I wouldn't see someone I know, I wouldn't see a bigot, I wouldn't see an a-hole, I would just see a person in need of help. And I would help them. Of course later, being human, I might regret it. But not that much because I do have to live with myself. Hope this helps.
-
I value life and always hope that people come to their senses; so if they needed my help, I would help. Besides, what better message can you send to such a person that you're not bad because you're willing to save them when they have been so cruel. Powerful, don't you think?
-
Yes..because you have helped yourself much greater than you have helped the drowner. "Now you owe me a life." Little Big Man (the movie)
-
If I know how to swim lol....Yes I would still help him/her...
-
Yes.
-
Yes. Just because he discriminates doesn't mean that I have to!
-
Of course I'll help him.
-
Why didn't you add in, this person has raped a child and murdered someone, then see what the responses would be?
-
Well I can't swim, so that person is dead either way.
-
Instinct would kick in and I would help - regardless of what names this person may have called me in the past, I assume they never physically hurt me. I think it would upset them far more in the long run to be indebted to me than any harm I could do by standing by and watching.... Of course, I would also have the enduring satisfaction of smugly advising them where they can get swimming lessons once I have hauled them out of the water!
-
nope...lol.
-
Definitely I would still help if I could +5
