August 9, 200719 yr OK I understand. I assumed since he was going to be gone less than 24 hours, that there wouldn't be anything other than business, so it wouldn't be any fun involved for her or him...and I assumed she told the boatman that a guy was on the bridge ready to kill her...but I can see where different people can have a different take on the same set of facts... ...or she could have stayed on the side of the bridge she was on until her hubby got home. Being remorseful is easier than being dead. But its amazing how many people make bad choices over relatively small problems and end up the worse for it.
August 9, 200719 yr ...or she could have stayed on the side of the bridge she was on until her hubby got home. Being remorseful is easier than being dead. But its amazing how many people make bad choices over relatively small problems and end up the worse for it. Very true. :thumb:
August 9, 200719 yr I say... Assassin - he actually killed her, as others stated Wife - 1) Put herself in a bad position for starters, 2) chose to risk her life rather than stay on the other side of the bridge and face the music Lover - to me, this is a close call between he and the boatman, but I put more responsibility on the Lover because he had an immoral relationship with the woman and should have had more concern for her Boatman - put money ahead of saving a life Husband - when you leave your wife at home you don't expect she'll be having an affair and putting herself in a life threatening situation...he should be able to trust his wife...it's hard for me to fault him much...unless, of course, he hired the assassin... Now, I'll check the link to see what this means.
August 9, 200719 yr Assassin - most responsible, he did the killing. Wife - She put herself in this position. Lover - knew that her situation could get her killed and did nothing to save her Husband - he put work before family Boatman - least responsible, just doing his job, cant work for free. HHSDad - stole answers from Watusi I had a hard time deciding whether to put the wife or lover 2nd. Of course, one could say the assassin was just doing his job as well...:sssh:
August 9, 200719 yr A little late to the party; but here's my take: ASSASSIN LOVER WIFE HUSBAND BOATMAN
August 9, 200719 yr With the information given I think the ASSASIAN is the only responsible party. He committed the murder, we do not know who hired him. My order: ASSASIAN HUSBAND - if he hired the ASSASIAN. He has motive. THE LOVER - if he hired the ASSASIAN or conspired with the husband to kill the WIFE. THE BOATMAN - if he conspired with the husband to kill the WIFE. THE WIFE - had no culpability, unless she hired the ASSASIAN to kill herself.
August 9, 200719 yr We are all responsible for our own actions. Thus, the order is: Wife....responsible for her actions and poor decisions. Assassin....commited the unpardonable crime. Lover....greatly contributed to the wife's demise. Husband....should he have let his wife come with him? Boatman....just a boatman.
August 9, 200719 yr George Bush--Everything else seems to be his fault. I don't know why we should let him off the hook on this one. Assassin--Regardless of other circumstances, wife would not be dead without him. Wife--knew there could be consequences yet allowed lust to overcome her. Lover--There's a lesson here ladies. Once this jerk got what he wanted he couldn't care less about her. Husband--Blameless as far as I'm concerned although perhaps he could be accused of not paying enough attention to his wife's pleas. Boatman--has no blame unless wife told him of assassin at the bridge.

She has some responsibility for the situation that she put herself into. Not to mention that she didn't HAVE to cross the bridge.
August 9, 200719 yr Next up, Why did the Chicken cross the road and who's responsible. Exclusively on BGP!
August 9, 200719 yr Next up, Why did the Chicken cross the road and who's responsible. Exclusively on BGP! To prove to the possum that it was possible.
August 9, 200719 yr She has some responsibility for the situation that she put herself into. Not to mention that she didn't HAVE to cross the bridge. She was wrong for having an affair, but that does not mean she deserves death. A big red "A" maybe. She did not have to cross the bridge, but how does that make her responsible for the her murder. Was she wrong for having an affair? Yes. Did she cross the bridge, knowing she would die? Yes. Would there have been a murder without an assassin? No.
