I feel like an idiot for not making a discussion lately so here goes one. Beware though for it is a tricky problem. Now here it is:
You are a boy and your family had been held hostage by kidnappers. Both of your parents and your little puppy to be specific. They have mighty guns and can kill your family without mercy if you don't follow their rules. Problem is, they do not need money in order to free your family. Instead the cunning kidnappers ask you to do one thing.
One of them murmurs near your eardrum this order that you have to do for them to free your family and little dog: "Go here near this girl and say that you love her." Unfortunately, it happens that you don't love this girl the kidnapper has been referring to and is new to you.
What will you do?

that's a very improbable situation, cowboyofhell. even if it's hypothetical, it defies logic. nobody would kill for that reason. the quid pro quo is wrong. i hate to say that because when a discussion topic is unreasonable you make those who comment look like fools. it would have been better if the kidnappers or hostage takers would ask something that is worth what they have risked their life for, not a mere whisper from a young 'un to another. very good attempt, thanks anyway.

yes I forgot to inform everyone that it is impossible to exist in real life. im trying to do something new here and this test question came up on my head. i hope that my mind wont itch me to do more of these bizarre outlandish ideas. thanks for the complement.

absolutely, and probably give the girl some ice cream to help her recover from the trauma.
