Hypothetical Scenario

[BALKAN]

One morning you are driving to work, and as per usual you are running a bit late, so you are driving a touch faster than the speed limit. You reach down to your stereo to change the CD, when all of a sudden your car hits something solid. You spin to a stop, but not before several more cars have run into you and each other in an attempt to avoid the accident.
As you look up and out of your car, you can see that you hit a person, and that the person is not looking very good. In fact, you are sure that they are dead. You shakily get out of your car, and look around at the damage that has been caused. Several cars have been badly smashed up, but more importantly you have killed someone with your careless driving.
As you are standing there in shock, a woman comes up to you, tears running down her face, and obviously very shook up. As a natural reaction, you ask her what is wrong. She gives you a funny look, and then she explains that she just ran over someone. You ask her where this person is, and she points towards the person that you ran over!
You don’t understand why, but for some reason this woman thinks that she caused this accident and killed the person, when in fact you are well aware that you were the cause. Whoever accepts the blame is likely to be placed in jail for a very long time. If you let the woman take the blame, there is a very good chance you will get away with it all. However, there is also the chance that you could be placed in jail for even longer for trying to cover it up.

Testify against her

Never give people money to gamble with, it will only lead to problems.

In this situation you owe half (or half + $5 to him if you want to get technical).

If it's a loan, and you were expecting the $5 back if he had lost it, he's entitled to keep it all.

If he saw me win it: split it 50/50

If he didn't see me win it: "Nah, didn't win anything, told you I have bad luck, lets go home"

i would use the money to buy you a necklace of the finest Tahitian pearls

The people saying it would be easy to hand over half, you are all fking liars!!!

The people who are being honest; ie. the ones saying it would be tough you get 10 thumbs up for your honesty.

Had a stranger that I’d had only struck up a conversation with flick me fifty to gamble with, over the course of the night ended up about a grand up, and went 50/50 on winning over the original investment.

Given that was a stranger, there’s absolutely no way I’d dog a mate who had made the same offer.

Ethical dilemma.

It is ok or not ok to date/marry the ex of your friend. They ended the relationship . It had nothing to do with you.

Heaps of factors need to be taken into consideration;
How good of a friend?
How long have they broken up?
Was it a messy break up?
Kids?
List goes on...

Depends. Do you still want to be friends with your friend?

Yes.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Yes.

Well I think you'd be risking that friendship by dating/marrying their ex.

I reckon it would almost have to be a perfect storm... You'd have to be really great friends, have clear open communication & the end of the other relationship between your friend/ex needs to have been amicable etc etc.

What do you think PG?

Perfectly OK. I see no ethical reason not to in this case.

What the problem is is if you can cope with others reaction or any weirdness attached. Even if you can you can't control other peoples reactions.

I think I'm going to have put up with having feelings for someone I can't really be with.
