I chose mother after much deliberation. Sort of feel a bit slimy now as if I've cheated on my girlfriend or something.

i wouldnt worry about it, after all... she cheated on you when i rode it for several hours last weekend

What's a girlfriend? Mum definitely! She bought me into this world, the least I could do is save her!

Your girlfriend could be your wife and the mother to your children....

If you want to save your mum for the same reasons you belong in middle America with the hillbillys....

Look to the future, not the past..... most mums would want you to save your girlfriend/wife as they are the future..... that's ok because I would....

Look to the future? Damn.. I'm going to have to run around finding my future girlfriend/wife whatever before she dies so I can save her, that'll be fun

Think of what your mum went through to bring you into this world and for scores of years afterwards bringing you up. You'd disregard that for a quick tug behind the bike shed? Shame on you! A real man loves his mother.

My wife. Like others she is the mother of my daughter and automatically comes first.

And a real mother would want to see her son happy and with a future....

It's possible to have more than one girlfriend. The same can't be said of a mother!

Trick question. PC, you always, always run out with your PC under your arm. Then and only then do you return to the building.

Remember, PCs can't help themselves. If someone wants to sit there and burn then that's their problem.

then the question asked in this thread isnt for you, its mum V's girlfriend, and there are no mention of kids
did you have girlfriends before you met your wife? would you save one of those over your mum?

Yaayuh! · 28 Sep 2015 at 22:06

My girlfriend, she is younger.

She's old and doddery, she's had her life to make of it, anything forward of now is a worsening lifestyle, less mobility, less health, no partner to go to the grave with. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy..
I hate the fact everyone has to get old. The only thing you have to look forward to is death.

I'd much rather save a life that has more to offer the world that has their life yet to live out.

Flawed question as no answer is incorrect, it's all down to personal circumstances.

Agreed.

There is no right or wrong answer.

And it's rather bleak/grim too.

Totally agree is pretty uncomfortable and unnerving to even think about it.

Well there is a right answer in China

I think it's interesting to see how different cultures have different perspectives on family. I know that many eastern cultures have very strong loyalties to family that you don't see here to quite the same extent.

You could frame it the other way, in the west long term female partners are seen as family, rather than possessions.

I save the GF as have a kid with her and been with her for 7 years, if i did not have a kid with her it be my mum as the GF cannot cook.

The obvious answer, if you're Chinese, judging from the large quantity of videos on ********, is to simply carry on with whatever meaningless task you are doing without even looking twice at the burning building.

Ah yes, and as if by magic another video surfaces on the featured page of ********.

G-MAN2004 · 28 Sep 2015 at 23:38

Obviously my mother. Girlfriends come and go, even the ones you thought you'd be with forever.

RoboCod · 28 Sep 2015 at 23:46

Depends if MILF.

Wait, wut?

I mean, depends if GF is hot.
