The Purge - What would you do?

Upon the release of this film, The Purge..

In the year 2022, the United States is prospering with an unemployment rate at 1% and crime at an all-time low. To keep this prosperity the government creates an annual 12-hour period from the evening of March 21 to the morning of March 22 in which all criminal activity, including murder, becomes legal. During this time, police and hospitals suspend all assistance services and execute citizens who refuse to participate by hanging. This event, known as The Purge, is designed to serve as a catharsis for the American people, giving them a chance to vent all negative emotions however they desire, with the ultimate goal of keeping unemployment and crime at extremely low levels for the rest of the year. During this night of violence and crime, a stranger screaming for help is let into James Sandin's fortified house during their yearly lock down. The family is then forced into conflict between their beliefs of right and wrong, and a sequence of events involving the stranger's pursuers puts the family's chances of survival in danger.

So, what would you do given the chance?

Put the kettle on and have a nice cup of tea.

Hide in a fortified room like a coward

For the first time in ages, this is a film that I'm looking forward to seeing.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be complete rubbish

I'd emigrate to somewhere sane.

Shake my fist/cane angrily.

I'd get out ma guns and I'd get out my list.

And I'd start ticking things off.

I thought The Purge was a documentary about bulimia when I first heard the title.

I'd rob all around me.

At the start of the ad theres a woman saying "The annual Purge has commenced" but she says it really fast and it sounds exactly like she says "Anal Purge". Theres an image for you all.

Watch a different film. Dam busters probably, or Flaming Lips UFOs At The Zoo.

Holy **** is that Cersei Lannister?

On the other hand I wouldn't do anything. Why should I? No one wants to kill me.

Hammar · 27-05-2013 02:51AM

Post on boards and ask what to do.

Aoifums · 27-05-2013 03:28AM

Hide in a fortified room with my laptop, some DVDs and food. Basically my normal routine just in a locked room.

While all the people around you are entitled to do whatever they please with you?? and even if you did decided to rob all around you the people you rob might have a strong chance of finding out it was you who robbed them, so you don't mind them knowing? Even though it's an annual thing and the more years that pass the more you will need to look over your shoulder?

Your either acting the hard man or haven't really thought this true :pac:

Anyway, personally I would fortify myself and all my family with as much protection as possible. Anyone who attempted to get at me or mine I would like to think I would kill.... but as any sensible person would know nobody knows how they would react in crazy situations.
