Would you rather punch an old person with all of your strength or a mentally handicapped person? Yikes, I know its a horrible question, but someone asked me this and I was stumped for like a whole day. I'd feel like sh!t either way!!!

The old person. Chances are they did something at some time in their life that would deserve a fist in the face. For example, pulling out in front of me without looking and driving 10 miles an hour. Just kidding, but they were young once and they weren't all saints. However, I believe that the mentally handicapped cannot be held to the same standards as the rest of us, so I could never approve of violence toward them.

Well..this question is definitely a unique one for sure! I have been taught all my life to respect the aged and could never lay a harsh hand to an elderly person. But mentally handicapped people can be strong and I may one day have to protect myself against one. No problem! I just hope I am not alone because they tend to get up and come back for more and more and more....

Well not that i condone punching old people or mentally handicapped people, however if you punched an old person really hard you might kill them so I think your better off not punchign the old person.

Probably the retarded person. Not that id want to smack either, but I figure the handicapped person might be able to recover after the incident and with any luck might either forget it soon after or not even realise what happenned......

i would have to hit the person that thought of this question. i couldnt imagine hitting one of my grandparents! as for hitting a handicapped person, they have enough going on let alone getting a punch in the head.

I couldn't do it but I'd hope the handicapped person would hit me soundly back for I would really deserve it.

Neither. You can choose neither to answer the person who asked you as well!
