If you had only these two choices…. what would you choose and why?

To steal from a children’s charity, or to sell drugs to one small child?

(this has been a borrowed question from the game “Would you rather?”)

Steal from a childrens charity. It’s the lesser of two evils. Taking money is a one time deal. Sell a kid drugs and they may be on them for life.

I don’t know, they both suck. But I suppose if I had to do one or the other I’d take from the charity, for the most part depending on how much money I steal I could get away with only a misdemeanor charge of theft, but if I sold drugs to a child we’re talking felonies and multiple charges such as, Possession, Trafficing, Child Abuse, etc. YUCK!!!!!!

I’d sell drugs to one child, or even multiple children… why do you people hate pharmacists so much?!

Seriously, this is a vague question. There is an amount of presumption in the 2 responses above. No one said that (1) this children’s charity is a good one. It may be corrupt and deceiving, in which case I would feel all right stealing from it. No one else said that (2) the drugs are illegal (and harmful) drugs. They could be selling drugs to children who need them but are too poor too afford them. Against the law? Perhaps, but I’d be okay with it. Let’s be fair, and look at all angles here.

Well as Mark said if they were LEGAL drugs I would choose to sell drugs, but otherwise I would rather steal from a childrens charity. Selling illegal drugs is tricky stuff, they could be hooked for life, get some messed up stuff (more then usual, I mean) and it’s just plain stupid to do or sell drugs anyway.

If it was a childrens’ hospital charity, then I’d steal drugs from the childrens’ hospital and then turn around and sell them to children who need the drugs at a premium.

Hey, I’m chaotic evil here!

I’d probably steal from the charity and then turn around and give it to the parents of the kids who probably aren’t getting the real benefits of the “charity’s” money anyways.

I would steal the money from the charity, and use it to buy free drugs for the kids. JK.
