Give em up or keep your silence?

ransom note - to take seriously or not, that is the question...

If someone were holding someone or something you love for ransom and would only give it back if you gave up something or someone else, would you do it? Would it depend on the severity of the situation, like just uncomfortable vs life and death? What if it were for somebody you didn't even know, a stranger? Would this change things considerably?

i am not really sure what you mean. are you asking if someone took one of my kids and they said on order to get them back i would have to bring them some one else would i do it? that is a hard question to answer. i don't know really if i could answer this question honestly. what i mean is i would not want to see anyone get hurt. i don't know if i would put someone else's life in trouble to save the life of one of my own. but that is speaking as a person who is not in that situation. i would only pray that God would give me the tools to get through it

If the person is someone I love, I will never ever give them a ramson even though it will hurt me deeply. What will I do is that tripple the ramson and give it to the person who will caught these kidnappers just like what Mel Gibson did in his movie the "ransom". I will never give in to their extortion. If the person is someone I dont know frankly speaking I will do nothing but pray unless I found those kidnappers myself. I will definitely kill them myself. LOL!!!

for me, it all depends on who they have. If they had my twin sister, I would do/give ANYTHING. I would kill, even myself, for her. I love her that much.
