Capsized ship - who gets the lifeboats/life jackets?

[Graham C]

Hmmm, someone lying on the floor loooking in pain calling out for help?  Pretty sure I'd not just walk past him too. I'm amazed so many did.

You should try going to poorer parts of the world then mate.

Why?  I'm not deliberately seeking them out.  Besides, I have been fwiw.

Just saying because its a common occurrence in some places you pretty much have to keep walking. In some area's in the uk people are also so used to tramps, drunks etc that this does not entirely surprise me.

'Kids and their Mums first' IMO, any other women are treated the same as men. A fair, undiscriminating society.

I would say old dudes next, but doesn't that mean everyone on a ships cruise?? You'd spend more time squabbling about who's oldest...

The priority should be those with longest to live first and those who have lived most of their lives and have least left to go should be last, with the rest in between.

Says who? Why should someone like me who as far as I'm concerned is in the prime of my life be valued less than a kid?

Oh yeah. Good one Geo. We could have a cheeky cull and disguise it as an accident. Good thinking.

As I have it, sure why not. I was gonna push my way through anyway but that sounds like a good excuse not to have to

Absolutely. If places are limited, people with terminal diseases should not be taking places from those who will benefit most and potentially contribute most to the world. Are you saying that someone who will live for six months should get one of the limited places before someone who is likely to live for 50 years?

And how do you plan to get them to admit they have a terminal disease?
