Poll question: Here are three pictures of men's faces. Your task is to decide which is most honorable
All three are thieves and killers.

But there is almost always some underlying goodness and some honor in people. Almost always. Some have no redeeming value whatever.

Who among these three do you view as most honorable?

Man A


Man B


Man C

1. What's the diffenernce between all of them and none of them?
If they're all equally dishonest, wouldn't both answers be the same?

7. The problem is two of them are only acting as thieves and killers
They are pretending to be thugs for our entertainment. The question should be "Will the REAL thug please get up off your drunk ass and stand up?"

9. C.
He's wearing formal wear and a flower.

How can one not trust a man who dresses so well?

13. Pfft.
What you don't see in that picture is that he's not wearing pants.

There goes your "dresses so well" argument.

Plus, a cowboy hat?

Really?

Plus, everyone knows real cowboys wear bolo ties.

18. You Know, The Funny Thing About Don Corleone?
IIRC, we never even see him order a hit. In TG2, we see him make two, himself - both of whom were huge capos - but after that, he never has to make an order.

21. Re: "All three are thieves and killers."
Regardless of your admonition to view them in character, I can only see Mssrs. Gandolfini and Brando as actors.

I know that Marlon Brando was an honorable man. Gandolfini may be, but I don't know much about him.

29. Gandolfini's on our side
His big cause is unions.

He's a good guy.

I'm sure there are people who don't recognize the other two either.

30. I'm counting two men and one boy.
And quite a poorly behaved boy at that.

I'll go with choice C because although he is roughly in the same line of work as choice A, he suggests accomplishment and honor-within-context, plus he dresses better than choice A.

Neither of the two men pictured -- nor the boy in the middle -- comes close to true "honor," and the sad part is that the boy is supposed to be a good guy and in real life is no better and arguably worse than two Mafia dons.
