Who should survive?

If i were stranded on a crippled small ship, and could only bring 5 people with me to an uncharted island, I would bring Dr.Dane, Bobby, Mrs. Victor, Jean Garcia, and Mr.Blake. I would bring Dr. Dane because he has a PhD and his hobby is botany, that way we could know what kind of herbs could treat wounds, and what type we could eat. I would bring Bobby, because he has a cool name with a I.Q. of 70 and he's 10! Another reason i would bring Bobby is because he's had training in cub scouts and can survive in the wild. I'd bring Mrs.Victor because she's still young, she's been through prostitution, and works in a sucky job. I would bring her so she can get away from it all, and she can make cocktails. I would bring Jean Garcia the 3 month old baby, because if the baby dies on the ship i could not live with that on my conscious, and it might grow up to be of some use. And last i would choose to bring would be Mr. Blake. He is a handy man that can build houses and carpentry.

Is Murder Ever Justifiable?

I think murder is justifiable some of the time. The person who was murdered could've been a sick twisted person, that beat his family, or raped his wife, and it drives people to murder that person for putting them under physical and emotional depression. Most time murder is not justified in many situations like if a kid steals candy from a store, they shouldn't get shot for it. But in most cases such as killing, rape, physical/mental abuse, its most likely that some would could and sometimes should get murdered.
