Moral Dilemmas

Advantages: I'm not like that really
Disadvantages: I would say that, wouldn't I?

This is a set of moral dilemmas that jillmurphy and LostWitness have compiled in the expectation that we will wrestle with our consciences. No problems there. When I wrestle with my conscience I always win. ***************************************************************************************************** Q: You've just cooked dinner for your four friends, when disaster strikes and you drop the chicken on the kitchen floor. Before you can stop ...
...get it away before he can do anything else. You have nothing else to cook. Do you own up, or do you serve the chicken up for tea? You're vegetarian anyway. A: Nothing else to cook? What about the dog? *** Q: You're in the supermarket car park, when in a momentary lapse of concentration, your shopping trolley scrapes somebody's new Mercedes down the side. Nobody appears to be looking. Do you own up? A: Can you be sure no one is looking? Probably ... Read review

Advantages: Appletinis.... mmmm.
Disadvantages: Not enough explosions.

I haven't done anything like this yet on Ciao, but I figured that I might as well have a go at it. Try and spot the blatant references I make to my other pieces - IF YOU DARE!! Note: Admittedly this isn't a daring thing to do, but humour me, please. Q: You've just cooked dinner for your four friends, when disaster strikes and you drop the chicken on the kitchen floor. Before you can stop him, the dog dashes in and licks it, but you get it away ...
...to cook. Do you own up, or do you serve the chicken up for tea? You're vegetarian anyway. A: I'm a veg? Why the devil am I serving chicken? Am I self-hater? Am I a character who looks in the mirror and thinks to himself "you - I'm going to make you eat this meat, and then you'll be sorry"? How worrying that I have lowered myself to this level. Anyway I'd serve the chicken - Banjo (the dog) is only trying to clean it, bless him. *** Q: You're in ... Read review

Advantages: Fair Trade beats the snot out of lowly, ol' Crap Trade
Disadvantages: Fair Trade is not quite as desirable as Wonderful Trade.

...else to cook. Do you own up, or do you serve the chicken anyway? Besides, You're a vegetarian. RESPONSE Well that's just silly-- ...Of COURSE I'd serve my poor chicken anyway. It's the damn dog who tried to mack on her, innit? Why would I deprive her of HER dinner? (...and NO, I wouldn't choke my chicken either, in case you were thinking of asking... jeeezzz.) I admit, she might have been flashin' Fido her cloaca, but I wouldn't just assume because ... Read review

Advantages: Let's me write something without having to think too hard about a topic...I love write-offs!
Disadvantages: I dread someone taking me even 1% seriously!

...still leaves me with that moral dilemma though. On the one hand, I know I’d be upset if it were my car, but on the other, I have no wish to part with a chunky hunk of change to put the damage right. Additionally, the Merc driver has insurance, so he/she could get the problem rectified without it costing quite as much as I’d have to spend to get the job done. Whoops…another thought…this is in London, so it’s obvious that something is going to happen ...
...examples of the kind of moral dilemma facing all of us on a day-to-day basis. Well…firstly, I’d establish beyond any doubt whether the bloke/bird was a male bloke/bird or a female. If the former, then my mate is welcome (more fool him; I happen to know he’s straight, so when he finds out the bloke /bird is more bloke than bird, he’s in for a serious disappointment); If the latter, then I will do the mature thing. I will stand behind my mate while ... Read review

Advantages: Your choice
Disadvantages: You could get it wrong

Moral dilemmas are not too difficult if you have no morals. Even easier if you don’t understand what a dilemma is. With respect to jillmurphy and LostWitness I’ll whizz through these and give you my almost honest answer to some highly interesting testers. Q: You’ve just cooked dinner for four of your friends, when disaster strikes and you drop the chicken on the kitchen floor. Before you can stop him, the dog dashes in and licks it, but you get ...
...have nothing else to cook. Do you own up, or do you serve the chicken up for tea? You’re a veggie anyway. A: I’m sure you won’t be surprised to know that this has actually happened to me. First things first, I gave the dog a good kick up the arse. I am a real slob in the kitchen and as usual there was all kinds of crap on the floor. You know the sort of stuff, stale bits of bread, curry powder, sugar, the odd milk bottle top, sticky pools of red ... Read review
