A popular statement said is women and children first, meaning that women and children go before men. Do you believe in that statement or do you think its bs.
Example:
Picture your in your 20's and your in a burning bulding at a crowded staircase would you wait and let women and children go first, or would you just make a run for it?

I think everyone is equal and everyone can go.

Depends.
Girl I know, she can go first.
I would have any child go first.
Random girl, I would go first.

I would always try and save a child before myself. I mean a child like pre-school age and stuff, not a 15 year old, unless the 15 year old can't escape. The same goes for a woman. If they can save themselves, they better move on because I'm gone.

Children go first and then I would let everyone go before me.

Everyone man for themselves! :p
Just kidding, I don't want to say everybody is equal, but I would personally let the woman and child go first to be kind, and not rude.

I would let women or kids that are young, go in first.Even if I do not know them.

Circumstances >.>
If it's an elderly person or child, I would let them go first. If it's a woman I know I would let her go first. Any woman I don't know can run right behind me.

I'm sure if anyone would let women and children go before them they would let the elderly go too.

I would do an alternative so I wouldn't get in the way of their escape. Even if it woud mean breaking my feet.
But if I didn't have a choice, I would allow them to go first.
Just like I wouldn't HIT one of them to get out of my way.

I think I would let a child or someone that would have trouble escaping first. I would naturally want to let women out after wards though, but unless I'm certain I'll be safe then I'm gonna hit the road. lol >_>

this made me think that it also depends
were you are because if you at the front
of them and you stop to let em pass you,
like Twilly said you would end up getting
in their way.

1.Why jump if there are stairs
2.Beat your way out lol (just cuz there women), but that's completely inappropriate in a fire.
Can you please stop making these moronic threads?
And i would wait for women and children. It is the right thing to do in my opinion.

Yet again, would you really feel like the man you are now when you look back at the ashes and remember the poor generations you just allowed to burn?
I will state again, if it is a means to get out of their way, I will use an alternative.

Children going fist is out of the question, of course they go first.
Women I think would go second, but not on equal with children. Get all the kids out first then start on the women.

I'd run before them so I didnt cause them any like, delay.
If I waited I wouldve been killed, if we all went fast as we could we wouldnt get hurt.

I think a burning building is actually a bad example.
Your on a sinking ship.
Only one more lifeboat, it isnt big enough to hold everyone who is left.
Do you take a seat, or do you dive it up to a woman or a child?

Natural selection: Only the strongest survive. Except for children we let them go first.

Let the children go and 2 adults who can help them get to safty.
Burning Building? I'm getting my *** out first, we have firefighters for a reason.
Sinking boat? Kids can go first and I'll spray to god a heli comes.

Wow, there are a lot of threads like this...
I would let the children go first, then the women, except if they are the size of Janet Reno, then it is every man/woman for themself.
*edit* @ Dasbinich how can men defend themselves from something like a fire better than a woman or child?

Children and women first because men can defend themselves better.
Children are definitely first. Women and seniors second. Men last.

Id probably let them go first, unless something really freaky was behind us.
Say zombies for example. Then id probably be picking them up and getting the hell out of there.

Being something of a gentleman, I would let them go first.

I would follow that rule to a point....
Children, uh... I'm 13.... I get a freebie?
But if there is an eighty year old lady in front of me, on crutches, barely breathing, slowly slipping out of consciousness, I would keep going....
Now say, a 5 year old, I would pickem up and bringem with me.
I sound crude putting myself before an 80 year old woman, but I figure "She's going to die tomorrow anyways..."
