Whether zombies, earthquake, tsunami, tornado, you know, something large scale

Would you stop to save those in need, or would you just watch out for yoruself and those closest to you (family, close relatives, etc.)?

Myself and close family and friends. It's not my job to protect everyone else, that's their business. I'm sure I'll have enough to worry about as it is....

I'd help anyone I could to an extent. My goal would be to create a band of highwaymen afterwards, so I'll need the friends.

If everyone protects their close family and friends, then everyone would (hypothetically of course) be protected. If everyone tries to protect only those in "need", then you're only protecting a specific group of people, and everyone would die since the people helping the "needy" wouldn't be protected, and therefore the "needy" wouldn't have anyone to help them. They are in need after all.

That's just a little theory I came up with. :P Maybe it doesn't make sense but that's ok.

I know what you mean, altogether on my dads side, I have 15 aunts and uncles and there are over 50 grandkids and greatgrandkids, me being one of the grandkids, and than on my moms side the family isnt quite that big but still.. Just trying to watch out for my relatives alone would be stretching things thin.

Well, it would really depend on the type of scenario. I never know what to say or do around people in need so I'd be pretty awkward about it. :S

*woman has her leg severed*

"Hey, are you alright?"

*woman screams out in pain*

"Jeez, no need to be such a ***** about it."

I'd help those I can. The more you help, the larger your group. The larger your group, the more people you have to fight with you. I would help people out, but if things got to drastic, I escape I have to look out for my own team first.

That would only get you like 30 miles though, I guess it could get you out of the immediate disaster zone =o

My thinking is this...I can't rescue peoples' asses if I get myself killed.

First you run like hell and save yourself. Then after the dust settles, you go back and try to help any survivors.

myself and those close to me get the priority

if I can help those in need, I will do so as far as I am capable, provided it doesnt endanger myself and those around me

I'd put the safety and survival of my loved ones and mine first, but if I came across a complete stranger who needed my help and I knew I didn't put myself in harm's way by helping him or her, I guess lending a hand would be the only logical thing I could do.

Myself and anyone who wouldn't jeopardize my survival. I know, it's terrible but I'm gonna look out for my own ass in a disaster or apocalypse scenario.
