What Would You Do?

So tonight after American Idol I started watching Primetime's: What Would You Do?
And this show is definitely a show for me.

It's all about, in case you didn't know, what people would do in certain situations. So there is a set of actors that know what's going on, and then the hidden cameras wait and see how strangers react.
Some of the situations that I've seen are...

-What would you do if you saw a couple fighting and the man was getting physically forceful?
-What would you do if you saw an obviously intoxicated woman trying drive her two kids home?
-What would you do if you saw a baby in a car on a hot day, and then saw the mom leave the baby again?
-What would you do if you went to an open house and witnessed people stealing items in the staged home?
-What would you do if you saw an elderly man that obviously shouldn't be driving, trying to drive away?
-What would you do if you saw a man trying to lure away a young child at the park?

AHHH. I love this show. I get so upset when I watch because the whole time I'm thinking what'd I would do if I saw any of this happen. Of course while I'm watching I'm telling myself (and everyone else in the room) that I would speak up in a heart beat, that I wouldn't let any of this happen. But would I really?

They also do a good job of switching up the actors. So instead of it being a scruffy looking guy trying to get the little girl to go away with him, what if it was a clean cut guy? What if it appeared they knew each other?

Did more people stop to offer help if it was a couple of a different race? What if it was the man getting yelled at?

It's so interesting to think about. Not to mention watching all of the reactions of the people.

So what WOULD you do in one of those situations? EH?!

Oh, and I'd love to do some posts about my opinions on..stuff..anything really.
So if you all have any ideaaaaas, let me know.
