Unlikely, I know, but roll with it...
An extreme terrorist type has you hostage with a gun to the back of your head. You are knelt in front of a desk upon which is a computer. A large five minute countdown display is activated.
A small, big doey-eyed kitten with fluffy fur and an endearing, if slightly pathetic, "mew" is then placed on the desk by your captor's henchman mate and you are handed a blunt, rusty pair of scissors. You are told that when the countdown timer reaches zero you must make a decision, your choices being:
If you hit the ENTER key on the computer, you will launch a nuclear missile attack on a major city. You will not see or hear the effect of this until you are released and it's on the news.
You can, alternatively, use the blunt rusty scissors to hack off all four of the kitten's paws.
If you do not act, the terrorist will hack off the kitten's paws AND launch the missile, showing you satelite pictures of the impact before shooting you in the head.

Please no Bruce Willis style hacking to death of the terrorist with the scissors and saving the world - that's not the point of the exercise...

umm.... how long have you been thinking about this??
Lol... I can't say what I would do.. just too hard to decide.. BUT if they're terrorists... they wouldn't give a rats @$$ about me hurting a cat, they would make me hurt the kitty for sheer amusement, THEN they would bomb the city(either way, they will bomb it.).. They're terrorists.....
so I would just take the cat and run for cover....

Ouch! I really wish you had tried to contact your father first instead of your possible siblings. This could be a blessing or a curse...and you won't know which it's going to be until you verify that your information is correct. It's a very sticky situation with both your father and his other children. Even in a confusing situation as this there is a natural order to things and a protocol to be followed. I say this because I gave up my daughter at birth and found her 36 years later...both of us wanted to meet each other and yet, today, we are once again estranged. I don't mean to frighten you but tread easy when you meet them. None of this is their fault as it is also not yours! Remember that they too are innocent in all of this. Not knowing whether they have approached your father on this issue is a bit disconcerting to me. If they have, he may deny you exist. It all depends on how honest he's been about his past or if he even knew you existed! My daughter's father never knew I was pregnant and doesn't know to this day! On how to handle this meeting...all I can advise is be yourself and try to relax within the situation. There is no what's next until all of you decide if there is to be a next step. Perhaps it will be unanimous, one way or the other, but there is always a possibility that upon meeting you they may be so floored they will not be able to get their own thoughts together for some time. Don't forget, their reaction to what's next lies heavily with the reaction of your father. In all honesty I wish I could help you more with this. If you need to, email me and we can talk. I wish you the very best of luck in this and however it turns out, you haven't lost anything. In fact, you have everything to gain. God bless!

The decision here is whether to kill a cat or how many million people!!!! I love cats but if there was a nuclear missle attack on a major city I would say sorry to the cat and go for it. Sounds horrible and sick I know but I think it would have to be done.

I have no idea. Now, I'd say of course I'd do it coz eitha way the cats gonna get hurt, but at least everyone else would be okay. But whether I would be able to at that moment I'm not sure. But since I have no choice I'd probably do it but cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and scream at the same time!

LOL...hack'n the pussie's paws in a heartbeat. To equate the life of a cat to that of a single human (much less a million) is rediculous.
Really.

I know I'm going to get thumbs down for this.
But I'd launch the missile.
I'm a terrible person, I know.
But I really like cats!

The cat would have to go - if I could stop sneezing long enough to do the job (I'm allergic!) - alternatively, could I hit the off button on the computer?

I'd hate to do it but the kitty would have to go . Mind you the horror of doing it would remain with me for the rest of my life and i would most likely open up a Kitty rescue centre.

Could I kill the kitten first so I don't have to listen to it whine while I hack it's paws off? That can get soooo annoying!
