Poll question: Cake or Death: Puppies vs. Kittens
If one gets Cake... The Other gets DEATH!

Who should it be?


Puppies. So loyal and playful... Cuteness incarnate!
So full of puppiosity.

Would you Vote Cake, or DEATH?


Kittens. So fluffy and curious... Sweetness personified!
So utterly kitteny.

Would you Vote Cake, or DEATH?


Two goes in, one come out.

Choose well

3. I have faced this many times. (metaphorically)
This is Sophie's choice.

Firstly, if a person gives you this choice they are evil, if they are evil you can't believe they would do as they say anyway.

What they are doing is trying to make you feel, their action of evil is your fault. It is not a way to hurt one of the two you are forced to choose from, it is a way to make a person actually think they caused the hurt.

When facing this. I find a third option. And give them both cake.


Letting someone else frame the options, is a relinquishment of potential paths, the world is not a maze, it is a wide open plain with a few obstacles.

4. No offense to OP intended,
This is actually pretty important.

If you concede to someone the power to make you choose. And they have proven they are bad by giving you such a choice. You become a tool of that very evil.

This paradigm is usually phrased a different way.

It is usually phrased like this. Do evil, or they will do evil to you. Same paradigm, do you give them the power to force you to choose?

5. You should know by now that I AM evil
I first thought of using Axl Rose vs Brett Michaels, but I figured that most people would go "death-death"

Puppies vs Kittens is soooo deliciously sinister!

9. Ha!
In my attempt to not give the person the ability to make me choose.

I still did that very thing, by giving both cake!

of coarse in my mind it was metaphorical cake.

13. Therefore I will eat the cake.
And we will seize the puppies and kitties for their own protection.

14. Best responce ever.
While I muse on about thoughts, you take action to save the kitties and puppies, you deserve your cake.

LOL

8. Sorry, puppies. You're cute, but not cute enough in the face of overwhelming kitten superiority.

12. When puppy and kitty go together, fur fun follows. No cake, no death, best buddies.
