Age and morality: What would you have done? (NOT a discussion topic)


As Morgan Freeman says to Casey in the movie:

"You walk away from it, you may not regret it when you get home. You may not regret it for a year, but when you get to where I am, I promise you, you will."

I'm curious to see if there IS, in fact, a correlation between age and agreeing/disagreeing with Casey.

So, the point of this topic is simply to state your age and to state whether you agree or disagree with the following statement (again, this is NOT a discussion topic):

"Casey Affleck was right in returning the child to her biological mother."

(Disagreeing means you think he should have left the child with Morgan Freeman; no other options are considered).

Anyway:

Hah I just saw this movie and came on here to see whether someone had posted this question. It's interesting to see that the opinion is split so much.

Me personally: age 16 - agree (but not an easy decision, and when I get older and wiser I could very well change my opinion).

16. Disagree

Um, I'm still debating this in my head really, but I'd have to say agree simply because when the kid gets older I feel she may have some questions about the whole 'you stole me' thing, just like Patrick points out. And I'm 17.

Agree (35)

Wow. So many disagree? I understand why so many say disagree, but abduction isn't chivalrous.

Agree, 16

Contrary to popular belief, it is impossible to overdose on marijuana... though many have tried.
