@KiffinEileen Keep in mind, that she is saying this means he just kissed her without consent while she was asleep

Ain't no Honkin way I would go with that Prince.

Then again, I'm a Goose. What do I know?

@TheIncredibleMrGoose @KiffinEileen the kiss without consent is certainly worth discussing, but it was medical aid and I was taught (barring a DNR) consent for medical aid is implied when one is unconscious even if your literally standing there waiting for someone who is refusing aid to pass out.

She at no point refused consent, this was literally the only way to wake her up. The kiss was a justified violation akin to stealing food to feed your family.

@zippy1981 @KiffinEileen

I truly did not know this but had always been curious about where that ethical line was.

You took what was an easy joke and turned it into a point of learning.

This may all sound a bit obsequious, but I mean all of this unironically.

To this end, it wasn't a kiss without consent, it was the application of magical first aid with the only cure to the disease she was suffering, therefore should not come under the same scrutiny as would be the uninformed observation.

@TheIncredibleMrGoose @KiffinEileen so I was taught the implied consent in red cross first aid training in the 90s . I'll ask my wife who works in healthcare and I'll ask people that need first aid for the professional review rescuer certs if that changes things.

Good Samaritan laws generally protect well meaning laymen doing their best.

@TheIncredibleMrGoose @KiffinEileen but yes I'm glad you enjoyed the direction of this conversation and I'm glad your joke, which was good segued into me thinking about things from this angle and you learning something.

@zippy1981 @KiffinEileen

I know you don't know the difference between this humble Goose and a gosling, but learning things, such as this, from people who have lived through these things, such as you, is almost 100% of what I live towards.

As always: if you are the smartest duck in the room, you are in the wrong room.

Further: Any chance for you to spread a little clarifying info is a great chance for elevation for others.

I have already pointed this chat to a group of friends. It's a Ripple

@TheIncredibleMrGoose There will always be the smartest duck in a room, so the only way this won’t happen is if there isn’t anyone? 🤔

@Abazigal So you truly do understand why Geese are always so very aggressive.

It isn't physical combat, but mental superiority through muscles, bites, and a large wingspan!

@zippy1981 @TheIncredibleMrGoose @KiffinEileen Yeah. Did you read the *original* story? Kissing isn't all he did.

@ariaflame @zippy1981 @KiffinEileen

...I - I thought I had.

Excuse me for a moment while I correct this.

@zippy1981 @TheIncredibleMrGoose @KiffinEileen Isn't the kiss something like artificial respiration as well as a kiss? But it's worth noting that the cartoon not only rejects the existing power structure, but also lookism and heightism.
