Which would bother you more?

Question

I'll give you a choice of two scenarios (might make this a poll) and you pick the scenario that would bother you more.

In the first scenario, you come to a public scene (say, a park or something) where these guys are punching, hitting, stabbing, etc. each other and one of them drops to the ground while the other mercilessly destroys him until he's dead.

In the second scenario, you come to the same kind of public place (park or something) where you see a n*de person (either gender...you pick whichever one you want) sitting on a bench or something and reading a book or otherwise, not bothering people around him or her.

Which scenario would bother you more?

Answer 1

You really should make the scenarios a little bit more equivalent.  As they stand, of course I would be bothered infinitely more by seeing someone murdered in a fight than seeing someone sitting n*de on a park bench minding their own business.

But let's change the second scenario to make it more equivalent. Suppose a n*de woman is sitting on a park bench reading, when she is approached by a s*xual predator, who then proceeds to r*pe her, and when he is done with that, strangles her to death.

In that case, the second scenario would bother me more... a LOT more.

Comments

I merely made the scenarios to compare violence with n*d*ty.  It seems society favors violence while n*d*ty is taboo.  That's why I asked which would bother people more.  In short, are people more bothered by violence or are they more bothered by n*d*ty?

That said, I do agree with you about how the second scenario would be more bothersome if such a predator was to commit such acts to a harmless n*de woman.  Actually, in that case, I think they would both be a tie to me.  They would both be equally bothersome in your description of the second scenario because both involve violence and death..

I think my second scenario is worse.

Both involve murder in the end, and I agree that those are equivalent.

But the violent acts that precede the murders in the two scenarios are not equivalent. If neither victim had been murdered, one would have suffered a beating which might have left some permanent physical damage. But the woman who was r*ped would likely have suffered permanent psychological damage, which in my opinion is worse.

Answer 2

Of course the first one. 

Answer 3

The worst is wanton violence, cruelty, hate, arrogance and greed - the perversity in humanity.

But in every case, one has to look into circumstances, situations and prejudices - too many people are too prompt to judge and blame, following superficial images.
