You steal: 10 years or a hand?

[Forgon]

Hypothetical Question!!!

Doesn't need to make sense:

You are caught stealing in a location where you have a choice between: 10 years in prison or the removal of a hand.

What do you choose?

Me?: 10 years.... I don't want to lose any body parts.....

[Deleted]

10 years.

I'd be curious what i could steal to land me 10 years in the U.K though.

[Jayburner]

I stole only one thing in my life and I was embarrassed about it for the rest of my life.

I stole the E.T cartridge for the Atari. Not a proud point in my life but I learned my lesson. I keep my hand if possible.

[Zoaric]

Ten years. At least it'd give me time to think and exercise, whereas losing a hand would
change the way I function somewhat.

You stole THAT piece of shit?

You shouldn't feel guilt about it at all, you did them a favor.

[Forgon]

10 years for you!

[Miyani]

Depends can i get a cool looking prosthetic hand that can crush metal with?

I'm guessing if you are stealing... You probably won't have the $$$ for that.

its probably unbelievable but me and my friends got caught outside a Zellers store ...terrible night.

this scenario seems a bit too black and white....

[Forgon]

this scenario seems a bit too black and white....

So, on principle you won't answer the question?

Things don't have to be black and white, but they can be.

Do you exists?: You either do, or do not exist. You can not be in a state of quasi-existence.

[breadisfunny]

im saying you cant take a scenario like stealing and try to apply black and white to it in this fashion. should someone get 10 years for stealing 50$? consequently should they only get 10 years for running a multi million dollar ponzi scheme that ruins the lives of hundreds?

Like the OP clearly stated, it's just a hypothetical question, you can either come along and post a response or avoid the topic. It's a fairly simple thing to comprehend.

I'd go without the hand, figure I could get a transplant one day possibly or like a poster above said, some cool mechanical hand

[Antbregante]

I'd take the 10 years when I was younger but now I'll sacrifice the hand.

[Ticj]

If your going by the average time you have to live, 10 years would be an eighth of your life. So I'd take my hand.

its a hypothetical that ignores all possible complications and tries to make it a black and white issue.

You must be a real fun person at parties and around friends

[Yvaelle]

I'd definitely give up a hand - I was thinking earlier today that I might get my arms cut off and replaced with awesome robot hands in a decade or so when they are superior to humans hands - ditto for legs. It's a strange thing to think about, but I think I'm ready to be a cyborg when that day comes.

[Mormolyce]

Both are draconian punishments for theft.

10 years.

Crown jewels maybe?

[Forgon]

Right... You get a cookie?

But which would you choose...
