The Bus Problem

More interesting than the Trolley problem because A. I'm a genius and B. You have an actual stake in the outcome

Hym "Here is 'The Bus Problem.' (and I think this is analogous to our current political climate) You and 5 other people are on a bus. The driver is headed towards a cliff. You are moving too fast to reasonably attempt to wrestle the wheel from the driver (as any resistance would likely result in you crashing the bus and killing everyone including yourself) You possess a gun and your attempts to reason with the driver have fallen on deaf ears. At what point are you (reasonably) justified in killing the driver to gain control of the bus? How close to the edge to you have to allow him to get before killing him is justifiable? And how much time to you try to spend reasoning with him after the threat of violence fails?"

Promblem

Any problems relating to or as a result of the high school prom, i.e. you chipped a nail before the prom, your limo which was going to take you to the prom got a flat tire, your prom date turned out to be a huge d-bag, etc.

Sarah: "Stacy! I just got my dress back from the tailor and it's 8 inches too short!"

Stacy: "Why don't you whine to someone else about your promblems. I have better shit to do."

proletariat syndrome

A medical syndrome, affecting most often the proletarian class, in which people come home from work after a 9-5 shift, fall asleep until about 8:30-9:00 pm then do some chores, only to be back to bed by 10:30-11 pm and get up early the following morning.

Proletariat syndrome should not be confused with ptsd or seasonal mood disorder.

difference between attacking people and problems

in our modern soc-med world, a very important moral quality that you absolutely cannot, and will never be able to, buy at the local Walmart.

the main reason the 2016 campaign rhetoric was so vitriolic and insidious was that both presidential nominees didn't know, or didn't bother to learn, the difference between attacking people and problems.
