No, I wouldn't kill a thousand DOGS to save my child. I find that morally repugnant, and cannot imagine a scenario where that would be my dilemma You can't imagine a scenario where you would have to make that choice but you pretty clearly say if faced with that choice your child is going down.

I'm curious, just how many dogs is a child's life worth?

No, it was not Alan Smithee who made the 1000 dog post. That was Kid Rock. This is what he said: I would kill 1,000 dogs to save the life of my child. Wouldnt you? Message 21425837 This is your response: No, I wouldn't kill a thousand dogs to save my child. I find that morally repugnant, and cannot imagine a scenario where that would be my dilemma. I would choose my child over a dog if I only had time to push one of them out of the way of an oncoming truck or rescue one of them from a fire, however. The first sentence seems pretty emphatic to me. The second sentence does not repudiate nor does it invalidate the first. Message 21428864 I just wanted the record clear on this. If you wouldn't take such absolutist positions, you wouldn't have to backtrack and qualify your position later.
