The character issue: some answers should be knee jerk, no brainers:
For example:

Would you throw a sack of kittens a moving car?

Would you allow torture any time for any reason?


Answering in the positive or taking more than 5 seconds to respond in the negative or inserting any conditions is an automatic disqualification.

3. Or the kittens were al Qaeda operatives
who knew the secret location of a nuclear bomb hidden inside a coke machine at the super bowl and only by throwing them out of a moving car could you prevent them from getting to the super bowl to detonate said nuclear bomb hidden inside the coke machine?

Huh? What then? :shrug:

4. Or the car was on fire and going to hit a wall of NUKES and the only way to save the kittens was to
throw them in a sack out the window? Huh what then?

6. Cats don't like to be wet
You probably would be doing the right thing there. :)
