就算比人告都要試下救啦, 人命關天啊!

That's the sad part. Since the laws are stupid, people should react the same accordingly.

Ultraman

我覺得人命大過天~
如果可以救到一個人, 就算犧牲一d 野都冇辦法, 救人要緊!
就算真係touchwood 比人告, 都只不過係民事索償, 大不了冇哂d 錢. 如果見死不救, 我相信一定過唔到自己既良心, 一生都受良心既譴責. ...

I'm not that 偉大. I definitely won't put my own family at risk but just trying to save a stranger's life. (and actually I have no 100% confidence if I can save that stranger, but a bigger chance to put my family at risk.)

Ultraman

當然, 我都唔係你想像中咁偉大, 如果要我死一個屋企人而去救一個三唔識七既人, 我應該做唔到.
不過, 我覺得救人就唔應該諗一d 咁既所謂risk (如: 比人告). 對於小弟黎講, 如果要入火場救人, 真係會隨時冇命, 咁樣就 ...

The case is not one-life-replace-one-life. However, as your example that you will lose all your money for being sued. Then your family, including your beloved wife, children, and parents and all other dependents (where applicable) will have no economic support all of a sudden. If you still think it's OK, go ahead. Hope your family will also support you.

Ultraman

救一個人都要諗咁多野? 我寧願好似而家咁不經思索就好了.
我只知道, 人命係最重要, 救人一命勝造七級浮"圖", 我唔明白點解救人都要咁下會唔會對自己有影響... 果d 所謂影響都唔係乜野性命尤關既事.
我重申一點, 如 ...

I appreciate your value.
I'm just different. Theoretically, all lives worth the same. But to me, my family worth much more than any stranger. Every time I go out, I will try my very best to protect myself in order to go home safe in one piece. If I can't even protect myself, how can I protect my beloved family?!

Ultraman

Ultraman, 咁講啦~
舉個例, 就好似見到一個老婆婆o係街上跌左袋橙, 會唔會唔幫佢執呢?
1. d 橙會唔會有毒品? 會唔會幫佢運毒?
2. 個婆婆見到我幫佢執, 會唔會反咬我偷佢d 橙?

一句講哂: 如果做好事(明知對受助人係 ...

How about some other examples:
1. Homeless people ask me for spare change, I won't give anything to them. Cuz first, I don't want them to use my money to buy drugs; second, I've read news about some kind-hearted people got stabbed and/or got robbed by those bad homeless people at time of giving them money.
2. Hitchhikers want to get on my car, I won't stop nor let them in. I've also read news for kind hearted people got stabbed and/or robbed by bad hitchhikers.

I don't need to think every time when I face each situation. Once my first top priority is my family and I want to go home safe in one piece everyday every time, I already know what I should react in my default mode.

Ultraman

Ultraman, 其實你果兩個case 都唔涉及人命, 都唔係乜野危急既case 啦~
而家既情況, 就好似鐵達尼號沉船咁, 如果你一家人坐左o係一隻救生艇, 而救生艇上有好多空位. 咁arm 比你見到一個人o係水面叫緊救命, 同你隻船好 ...

Please make clear of your own example situations.
You quoted 老婆婆o係街上跌左袋橙, it's not 涉及人命 and also not 危急既case. That means, I can decide to help her or not to help her, not a big deal anyways.
My examples, they might not involve other people's lives but surely may affect my own life (can't deny there is a chance), therefore I won't risk it.
For your Titanic example is another scenario, which all of we passengers are in pretty much the same situation. Everybody is facing the same risk.
You may say I think too much. But isn't brain designed to think? If I haven't been thinking/considering that much, I couldn't be still survive till today la.

Ultraman

唉... 總之比著係我就唔會諗咁多啦! 好難做得出見死不救既行為law.

The old question (but not your wife vs your mom this time): if your wife and a stranger both fall into the water, providing that both of them can't swim, which one of them would you rescue first (provided that you are a certified lifeguard)?

Ultraman

緊係救老婆先啦! 快快救完老婆再去救埋果個陌生人.
mcjohnjohn 發表於 2010-1-26 19:28

See?! Your family (wife) is still your first priority la. How if you can only save one person and the other will die? Your wife or the stranger?

Ultraman

緊係救老婆先啦!
幾時變左呢個話題架? 乜唔係話幫唔幫人急救乍咩?
如果我老婆同一個陌生人同一時間需要人急救, 我一定救老婆先啦! 但而家我老婆冇事woh, 咁點解唔走救果個陌生人? ...

Yes, it's about "priority", but priority has different "levels". (I don't know how to explain...)
As I said even I know all lives worth the same but irrationally I feel my wife's life worth more than a stranger's. Even my wife's little finger worth more than a stranger's life! That's why I won't risk my family over any circumstances, not to say to sacrifice my family to save other's life, not even to put my family into economic crisis to save other. That's just me.

Ultraman

Maybe it's just me. I won't get married if I can't protect her by all means (except illegal things), I won't even go to work if money is not important to me. I work hard because I want my family lives better. On the other hand, if I don't put effort to protect my family and I let my family gets into economic crisis, that means my family is not that important to me.
