Subject: MORAL QUESTION
I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but think
it is interesting to decide what one would do.
The situation: You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in
progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and
structures destroyed.
Let's say that you're a photographer and getting still Photos for news
service, traveling alone, looking for particularly Poignant scenes.
You come across Osama Bin Laden who has been swept away by the floodwaters.
He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under. You can
either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning
photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb.
So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the question
below:
Which lens and shutter speed would you use?
-
LOL!.. well first; I'd get a line around his neck, and cleat him off to the limb.
Then I'd set up the camara on a tripod with a shutter delay, then get a shot of myself hauling the bastard up in the noose 'big gamefish' style...
.. thereby ridding the world of that piece of toejam, score the Nobel prize for photography, and make myself 5 million richer in the process.
But; hey that's just me. :)
-
You two are a tough act to follow, so I'll just settle with adding a "highest rating" mark to your profiles. :D

I think that he should actually be saved.
I believe it is in everyones best interest to bring him back to the US peacefully, and then let him go through the trial process.
When it's all done, I think he should be the one who picks up the soap in the jail's communal showers.
-
that's a tough one but i think people would want to see in depth facial expressions to i would use high speed film and a healthy zoom lense and of course a fast shutter speed - wouldnt want to blur that one. :)
-
i'd drop the camera, take out my .45 and see what his facial expresion is with one or two .45 acp in it.
-
well , it would depend on your film speed and how much sun you had , but a avg setting would be about f5.6 at 250, but if it's a real action shot i'd go to 500 or 1000 of a sec
-
I would "disappear" him. Dead. He is a martyr. In custody. He is an excuse to kidnap coalition partners, and hold in exchange for his release. If I played Where's Waldo with his ass, the uncertainty would trouble Americas enemies far more then it would us.
-
Oh yeah. We need to make sure he dies in the field. We need his head.
-
I agree with easymo on this one.... :eek:
Alive he's a symbol to rally around, dead he's a symbol to rally around. I think quitely dead is the way to go.
-
I would save him, incarcerate him in a pig sty for 6 months with a 24/7 webcam/satellite feed and give him only pig slops to eat.
When he died of disease/malnutrition or execution I would bury him in the hide of one of his cellmates.
-
Get him out of the tree, get him to a surgeon in the free world, give him a complete free sex change, drop him back into the taliban territory to let him live out his life as a woman under their system of sexual equality.
But I really like weazel's suggestion also.
And I have no idea how to set the shutter speed on my Polaroid. :D
-
MrBill, YES! Thats the GREATEST solution ive heard so far! Its PERFECT.
-
I forgot to add surgically remove his right hand so he would have to eat using the hand he wipes his bellybutton with, it's supposed to be another grave insult to moslems.
-
Piles of buring afgan babies is what we need!

eeeewwwww.
Feedin the murderin towel head meister brau and pork rinds for 6 months on a forced connect to Arab TV, followed by another six months of naked jello pig wrestling.. with a viagra saturated boar..
Later, ween we tire of toying with him; we send his boar porked bellybutton home... stick him on a R/C controlled Airbus 320 and crash his bellybutton into the Mosque in Saudi Arabia.
Live on Arab TV; of course.

depends on light...

I find you boys sexual fantaseys uhhhhhhh disturbing. :)
-
Gosh guyz, you are way too nice.
I'd SAVE him of course...then I'd take him out to the nearest "woodshed", crimp his wee-wee nice and tight into the vice-clamp attached to the table, remove the vice handle..and hand him a rusty knife. THEN, I would dowse the outside of the shed with gas and set it on fire..while I waited outside with a .45 and a grin :) Then I'd worry about shutter speed.

1) Hand him over to the Shin Beth, for "information retreval".
2) Using America's pressure on Isreal, make the Isreali's hand him over to the Saudi's for trial and execution (he's a criminal there too), thus keeping the West's hands clean and allowing a Semitic solution to a Semitic problem.
It'd be nice to see the Semities getting it together to work out solutions, and the Islamic world would be assuaged.

I know this place in eastern NC wher eI Bear hunt and deer hunt, very remote. Take Bin laden, a rope, and a jar of honey, tie Bin laden to tree, real tight. Double check. Now take the jar of honey and pour it all over him. First thing that will arrive to feed on him will be the ants and insects. Shortly after the Bears will show up, then the buzzards. as for filming this event, and you are sick enough to weant to see this. Well there are game cameras that are activated by motion. We use these to find out where the animals are moving. Just set those up on bin laden.

Put a bullet in his head and let him rot!

I thought I answered the question...
Don't lower yourself to his level.

Screw the camera! I would pull out my trusty Glock19 and shoot off the damned limb he was holding onto. That son of a squeak has a terrible virus in his mind and needs to be killed immediately.
Guys, we were totally prepared to destroy the Soviet Union in the event they attacked us. We need to inform the muslim world that they are just as killable as the USSR was in the event we determine that they are trying to destroy us, which I believe they would be pleased to do. Imagine what the world will be like once the majority of muslim nations have nucear weapons.
Perhaps we missed a great opportunity on Sept 11. to save ouselves.
