JD mentionned it wasn't something universally offensive, just to people from this specific religion -- nm - Guigue Feb 19, 07:25 5
- i'm very anti-religion, but even i think if someone is genuinely offended by something, they have a right to those feelings. -- nm - Andie Feb 19, 07:28 1
  - I'm ceertainly not saying it's an easy choice and that I don't care at all for the offended person. The question asks for a difficult choice and I - Guigue Feb 19, 07:30
- I think the reason for being offended is irrelevant. it's about getting along. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:26 2
  - But in the situation given, it's impossible. Either someone start suffering pain, or the other is offended - Guigue Feb 19, 07:28 1
    - His comfort is mental :) -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 07:29
that wasn't the question. -- nm - znufrii, scoreless Feb 19, 07:24 17
- yes it is. You're saying screw the offended person, and I think your anti-religous bias is the basis for your choice. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:25 16
  - rather than what znu originally posted - that the guy will be dead soon, so give him solace while he's still around? -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:28 15
    - both have a right to solace. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:29 14
      - I agree - but Dawson isn't saying 'respect the feelings of both', he's saying 'decide who you support in this case' - Roger More Feb 19, 07:31 13

        There seems to be an assumption by a lot in this thread that the religious patient isn't suffering. -- nm - Inigo Feb 19, 07:38 6
        
        But is he physically suffering because of the painting? - Guigue Feb 19, 07:40

        then the movie is biased toward the nonreligious guy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:40
        
        the question says nothing about that - it doesn't even mention that the religious patient complains - just his family -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:39 2

        oh sure - but for me, with a gun-to-my-head-pick-one choice, I'll always pick the patient over the visiting family -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:43
        
        I move the person who has less pain. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:36
        
        I support compromise. the premise (all or nothing) is false. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:31 3
        
        Then we're not discussing the same thing - Guigue Feb 19, 07:34 1
        
        the person who asked the question doesn't speak to me. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:37
        
        I support compromise too, but I am happy to play along with the hypothetical -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:34
