I chose "keep him as a distraction."
You got to think ahead, and I'm not going down for some baby I don't know or care about because Clem… moreentine wants to be found as a mangled corpse besides a whiny brat crying in a ditch or something.
She's come too damn far for her legacy to ended by an eight pound walker snack...
I voted to find another group to take care of him. Even though I hate those types of humans, I'm not that cruel. If it did however come down… more to a situation where it's just me and the child and there was too many walkers for me to get out alive, the child will have to be sacrificed for my survival. No, I'm not being selfish, survival is the main priority of the apocalypse, plus if I do end up saving it, it will just continue to whine and draw more attention to the walkers on the coming days.
Finding somebody else to take care of it would be the best option because having it on my own will just put me at risk just about every day.
You can not be serious. Assuming that everyone who is completely self centered survivalists are always atheists is why most people find religion to be a borderline joke now-a-days. Do not be so dense, and think for yourself.
Now, my personal opinion about AJ is very biased. I don't like babies myself personally, and if placed in a similar circumstance to Clementine, I'm not going to pretend I wouldn't just haul the baby around with me just as a "get out jail free card." I'd look after it until shit went sideways, then it's "bye-bye baby" in a heartbeat.
Does that make me evil? No, I don't think so. I'm cynical and jaded about "the preservation of life in a post-apocalyptic" world thing. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Clementine to put herself at risk because it's the "right" thing to do, especially after Lee died trying to do the "right" thing and save her. And lets not forget the cavalcade of evidence supporting the claim that good people with wholesome intentions die.
Omid, Walter, Reggie, Alvin, Carlos, Sarita, Sarah, Rebecca, Luke, and now Clementine? No. I refuse to let my Clem die horribly because she was trying to grasp on to petty idealism as her modus operandi. It's not happening like that.
I enjoy life too, but I also don't enjoy leaving defenseless babies to their death because of it. That's just plain wrong. If you have to … morethrow an innocent baby to the dogs in order to enjoy life, something is wrong with you. I also assume you are atheist.
No matter what you do, you're going to be dead a LOT LONGER than alive. George Washington died a couple hundred years ago, and guess what? He's still dead.
Or maybe it wouldn't. You're making it sound like baby=certain death. The choice is if you have a chance to leave the baby somewhere safe, would you? Not if you have to get the baby somewhere safe, you're going to die in the attempt.
Not anymore than getting Clementine cornered with the baby and then they both die.
If the baby can help me survive then, unfortunately, i… moret automatically elects itself as a sacrifice for my survival.
Petty idealism can only push you so far, it's the tough choices that matter at the end of the day.

Kinda torn between finding a safe haven and a group that could take care of him. I think I'd go for the safe haven if that's meant to be Wellington because Clem's only 11 years old and taking care of a little baby is not easy, more so with zombies everywhere. So the best thing she could do is find AJ a place where he'll be safe and won't put their lives at risk if he starts crying or she struggles to find baby formula for him. That or the other option of finding a group to help.
I also assume you are atheist.

I have no reason to assume that there is such thing as afterlife. this life would be even more irrelevant than it already is, if there was an afterlife.

I picked Kenny, and would give the baby to someone else because i know i wouldn't be capable of taking care of it. Am i going to risk my life for it, probably not.

Well it just feels shitty thing to do for Kenny. All he cares about is your safety, but he knows he cant ensure it, so he gets you a chance … moreto join safe community, but you decline.
I know its a video game, but its up to me to decide how much it means to me.
Well, here's the thing. I would never leave the baby, but if I was all alone and risked myself in a life or death situation, i would be no help to that baby dead. If there were other people around i trusted i would be more willing to risk myself in a situation if needed.
That despite your many attempts to prove yourself as being a amoral, rational thinking survivalist type, in a real world scenario akin to the Walking Dead the decisions you believe you could make now in theory would not be the same as the ones in practice. I may not know you personally, but since we live in a civilized time, were you to find a baby deserted somewhere, crying, it's safe to assume you would not simply ignore it and abandon it. These are largely instinctive responses we act upon. As such, even when the world is crumbling and people are becoming more ruthless it would be difficult to simply reverse these moral beliefs and values you have naturally ingrained in you simply by living for the past 20 years. I truly believe if you were in the situation you would not drop the baby at your feet and walk away. It would not be as easy of a decision as you seem to make it out to be.
I compare your way of thinking to that of a person going in for a job interview. You prepare well, know your information, and account for variables. You go to the job interview and all of a sudden the person is asking you all the wrong questions, ones you don't have answers for and were not prepared to answer. Your confident facade crumbles, and the answers you prepared to the questions you thought were going to be asked are no longer relevant. You are dumbfounded, and in the heat of the moment you don't know what you are going to say.

Abandoning a baby is bad enough but using him as bait? That's just monstrous.
Isn't wanting to survive inherently selfish?
Because you first must find that safe place and a baby would easily get you killed on the way?
Humans are selfish animals, just like any other.

Yeah it is more because you're making a choice to do this is. If you get cornered, that's not your choice, it's a circumstance.
I wouldnt even try. No point to risk my life for something i dont care about.
Yup', a circumstance that I'm involuntarily involved in. Meaning the baby has to go to get me out of the circumstance.
You know what they say, people who don't like children or dogs are assholes...
Dude... Stop whatever compulsive-invaliditation you're trying to do with people.
I actually liked jane (sometimes more than kenny), and I wouldn't leave the baby behind. Ever.
Well i like dogs.

She/he said he wanted to enjoy life, so I made the safe assumption that he/she didn't believe in an afterlife.
I have no reason to assume that there is such thing as afterlife. this life would be even more irrelevant than it already is, if there was an afterlife.
I would dump him on the first person i could.
That's not really true, but I wont argue about it.
You wanna know what's funny?
Most people who are willing to ATLEAST take care of AJ are people who like kenny.
I think there's a correlation there...
[removed]
Surely you can explain with logic and reason why im wrong?
I picked Kenny, and would give the baby to someone else because i know i wouldn't be capable of taking care of it. Am i going to risk my life for it, probably not.
Stop assuming things.
I could, but I don't want to derail the thread.
I was thinking about that as well but I could not carry the damn thing around anymore so just leave em lol
Well said sir, well said.
Well thats what ive learned from most of the Kenny fans i've talked with.
I doubt that.
Just so we are on the same page here.... are you aware that the Walking Dead universe is fictional?
Just keeping it with you puts your life at risk. All that crying and search for baby food
I'd probably atleast try, but my cowardice would lead me to maybe leaving it behind... and forever living with that in my head
Whats the point of your comment?
I like neither. Guess I am an asshole.
Dude, just stop. You're being one of those people.
"Well, AJ, sucks to be you. Hope someone else but a walker finds you before you starve..."
turns around and walks away
I would do everything in my power to try and protect it however I don't think I would sacrifice my life for it. Call me a monster
Well, here's the thing. I would never leave the baby, but if I was all alone and risked myself in a life or death situation, i would be no help to that baby dead. If there were other people around i trusted i would be more willing to risk myself in a situation if needed.
