Would you rather...

[Board of Command]

I wouldn't even struggle. You know you have no chance unless you have a gun or other debilitating weapon.

[The Heretic Azazel]

Judging from that statement BOC I'm surprised you haven't dropped dead because you found it too troubling to breathe.

As for Ani's question, who is punching and what part of the body?

[6Zabuza9]

IMO surviving in a fight against a grizzly would be easier than surviving a fight with a Siberian tiger. The main factor on my decision would be the speed of the animals, as tigers would be agile and aim for vital points without a moments hesitation, where as grizzlies are known to have slower attacks (but still a bit faster than what a normal human can dodge at) and powerful blows, but charge and maul at you wildly attacking any body part they can reach. As well, another factor that bears are probably easier to run away from is that bears are omnivores and humans aren't usually on their natural diet, where as tigers are known to hunt and eat people for food. Also there has been cases where people just acted dead in front of grizzlies and the grizzlies ignored them. So I would choose fighting a wild grizzly, as if you are skilled enough there might be a chance of defeating a grizzly by either out smarting it or training your self to dodge fast attacks then go attack vital points.

This is like asking would you rather fight a buff and skilled roman gladiator or fight a skilled ninja.

Hmmm..... so which would you take?

I'd take the ninja. He might decide to end my misery in a more honorable way.

Yeah, because breathing is the same kind of ordeal as fighting a bear or tiger.

When it's hopeless, it's hopeless.

Let's say it's a 17 year old guy who plays football and he can punch you wherever, just not more than twice in the same spot.

Would you rather eat dog or sewer rat?

Well, since Ive eaten dog before, I'll go with the known quantity (dog). Plus I raised rats in university, and I don't think it would fill me up the same as dog^^

[Animeniax]

Yes but don't rats breed a lot? So if you caged them and left them to it, you could feed off their young for years. Gross, but you'd survive.

And don't forget, it's not just any dog, it's your pet dog.

[Kraco]

Dog most certainly. It would be dubious to eat something that grew up in sewers eating who knows what. Dogs, however, look pretty tasty... Roasted and spiced.

[Animeniax]

I didn't think that would be such an easy question to answer, though you Europeans often have pet rats. People in the US and Canada seem to be more dog-lovers.

So let's spice it up a bit: food shortage, desperate times, need to feed your family of 4 who haven't eaten in 2 days. You have two options, would you rather eat your family's pet dog or a sewer rat?

Now that's not simply just animal vs animal, but an entity you know vs one you don't.

Pet dog vs Pet rat would be a fairer comparison, though not by much.

[Animeniax]

Well yeah but how fair a comparison is a clean dog versus a sewer rat? So it's fairest if you compare a clean dog that you know to a filthy rat you don't know. Makes the choice tougher.

[darkshadow]

sewer rat, rat burger from demolition man convinced me.

[Death BOO Z]

Rat, with ketshup.
I don't think there's even a question about it.
you can train your dog to hunt rats for you, but after you eat the dog, you've got nothing.

[Animeniax]

If your dog chases rats, it could catch rabies, then you'd have a rabid dog that is no longer useful as a pet, a hunting dog, or food. Or is rabid animal meat still edible?

[Sapphire]

Death machines! Ahhh!

[Death BOO Z]

The liger. real death machine

hey, it's not my fault that nature's best killing machine is only available by controlled cross-breeding.

on the same note, I'd kill any number of people, to get my self a Tigon.that thing is cute.

[XanBcoo]

Maybe a Tiger crossed with something else would create the "best killing machine", but not a Lion. Lions loaf around all day and only get into fights if they themselves are attacked. They wouldn't kill you. They're too lazy to give a fuck.

That is a pretty beefy looking Tiger, however.

In answer to the current question, I'd rather eat a dog. Both animals have been eaten in several cultures, but I couldn't eat something I knew came from the sewers.

Even your own wittle Fluffy, the dog that fetches your slippers and you play catch with at the park and helped you meet your wife who happens to be a dog-lover? That's cold-blooded man.

Would you rather make $100k a year and pay $35k in taxes, or make $60k a year and pay $15k in taxes?

Oops, I missed the part where you specified it was pets. In that case I'd eat the rat.
