Have-a-go Heroes. Are you one?

Jacob · #1 04-11-2002, 10:34 AM

Are you a 'Have-a-go' heroe? By that i mean when you see someone in trouble would you dive in to help them out? Reply please...my topics are always amazing (Just for Doug...that was a joke

)

Surfacing · #2 04-11-2002, 10:54 AM

Nope, no one's ever been there for me, why should i be there for them? It's all survival of the fittest these days.

Gluk Schmuck · #3 04-11-2002, 12:54 PM

Nope. I don't want to be a have-a-go-hero because of the risk to my health if the perportrator has a weapon or likes to hit people.

Your attitude to this matter is quite amusing (it would be worrying if I knew you in RL), Leon.

paramiteabe · #4 04-11-2002, 01:11 PM

Sometimes I can be one and sometimes I can not be one depending on the circumstances.

Steve · #5 04-11-2002, 06:40 PM

If I truely thought it would help then yes.

DarkHoodness · #6 04-11-2002, 07:49 PM

Hmmm, it really would depend on the situation.

If it was someone I didn't know getting hurt, I'd be more likey to help them if I had my stick with me. I'd probably try and stay out of it, only diving in if I think I could probably help.

However, if it was someone I knew, e.g. my friends, family or pets, then I'd dive in no-matter what. In most cases, they are more important then I am.

Yeah, I would have a go and tell some ambulance chaser to get help. And as always, good old wisconsin is doing a cool law thingy saying people can carry concealed weapons i.e. guns, knives etc. so you know I will be strapped and ready to defend myself and other people.

Danny · #8 04-11-2002, 08:52 PM

How should I know? You never know until you're in the situation. You might chicken out, or you might find newfound courage. I don't know, I've never been in a situation like that...

And this also makes it legal for everyone else to carry concealed weapons.

Joe the Intern · #10 04-11-2002, 09:11 PM

I pretty much agree with Danny. You never know until you get into that sort of situation. But I guess I would probably help out whoever it was. But, then again, I might freak out and just run off.

1. So will everyone that is a victim where you could possibly be a have-a-go-hero be somebody who didn't help you in a similar situation?

2. That's questionable.

Jacob · #13 04-12-2002, 06:11 PM

True, however, i would only stick up for the people i really cared for...or sumat. Although, when i was drunk once i did have ago at a load of guyz shouting at a woman...i got chased however. I got away though...then slipped on some ice...i helped her though...

Oddworld Master · #14 04-12-2002, 06:15 PM

I would only save little kids because they have a longer life to live then i do there a lot more important to this world then me

Well, Surf, your attitude is a little disturbing... Really... You're practically saying, "No one has ever helped me, so if I see that someone's in trouble, I'll let them die!" It's pretty sad when someone will let another person die, just because they think that no one would help them.

As for me, It's pretty hard to think about... I mean, I may just freak out and faint... But, if I could, I would try to help. If there was someone dangerous, I may call for help or call the police... But who knows, I may turn out to be too pathetic to help... But I would certainly try if it was someone I cared for. I'm sure most people wouldn't, sadly....

abe22 · #17 04-13-2002, 04:58 AM

I really don't know what I would do in that situation. If it were someone I care for then I would try my best to help them. I think I would do the same for someone I didn't know aswell. I really don't know what I would do, never been in a situation like that before.

My attitude is disturbing? Why? Just cause i treat people the way they treat me? Letting someone die, i would be doing for different reason's firstly if i did try to help them and they still ended up dieing i would end up in court, and all this other mayhem would be attached to it, that's why i would not get involved if it involved someone dieing.

1. But you admitted that that wasn't the case in your last post!

2. And what do you have against being a witness?

In fairness he would get alot of agro from the families of the prosecuted. And im basically the same, if it was a member of my family i dont think i would help. But possibly one of my friends or a really attractive stranger on the street...i mite.

When Tom asked "Will everyone that is a victim where you could possibly be a have-a-go-hero be somebody who didn't help you in a similar situation?", you replied "no it could be anybody!". Therefore, by not helping them, you are not necessarily treating them the way they would have treated you. I am disgusted by your attitude. If I were to not help someone, it would be because I am a coward, not because I am a selfish bastard. At least I'd try.

Jacob · #22 04-13-2002, 10:35 PM

Firstly what do you think gives you the right to call people " Selfish Bastards" When all you really know about them is there likes and dislikes? Who do you think you are?
Just cause i won't help them, because i choose not to does not make me a selfish bastard. And yes the way i would be treating them would have been the way i was treated.

1. Because you are, not that I'm taking sides or anything...

2. But you said something to the contrary up there.

I didn't call people "selfish bastards" because of their likes and dislikes. I call people selfish bastards if they would deliberately choose not to aid someone else because they haven't been helped in the past. Who do I think I am? I am someone with some sense of kindness, unlike some.

You've changed your words slightly. Before, you said "i treat people the way they treat me", not "the way i was treated". See the difference? The person who needs help, in all probability, would not be someone who has chosen not to help you in the past.

Anyway, the only reason that people would choose not to help you is because they have the same selfish attitude as you. Think about that.

If you mean 'Propagandist' as in "Someone who spreads Principles", then I am not unless you call being nice to people a principle. And definately not if you mean "Someone who spreads Propaganda".

Why the sudden change of subject?

Why did you rephrase it? I spelt it correctly. Well this is what i think Propaganda means. And i sure's hell do not speard Propaganda.

Propaganda- "Something written or spoken with intension of making people believe what you want them to believe".

And a "Propagandist" Carry's out the above statement.
