ouch
conssistent though yeah

n wouldn’t miss work
perefect attedance

you know what i’m willing to hear n1 out just to dunk on singer

If I can afford the tardy without penalty I’ll do it because my attendance is almost always perfect, but i won’t get written up that’s for sure

devli’s advocate: if a child is drowning in a shallow pond

then i’m not sure how long they’ll make it even after you rescue them. useless

Good. That seems as if it must be the right answer. Peter Singer has stated that his students, when asked about this scenario, unanimously respond that they have a moral obligation to save the child.

Okay, now suppose that there are other people walking past who would equally be able to rescue the child but are not doing so. Does the fact that they are not doing what ought to be done mean that you’re no longer obligated to save the child?

It makes no difference. I still have a moral obligation to save the child.

I feel like if you said “sorry im late i was saving a drowning kid” you would probably get a pass but I don’t actually know what you do so maybe you work at a child drowning factory and they’d fire you for that
