Likwid Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I saw this movie coming out on DVD but it got me thinkingYou can have $1,000,000 but you'll be responsible for the death of 1 random human being... could be any person, you won't know ahead of time.What would you do? I have a hard time saying I'd turn it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 That's a crappy choice to have to make. I think I'd turn it down. Money won't be worth anything soon enough...Obama will take care of us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhaag Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 i'd consider it if i could get the mil in Pounds Fucking Sterling, instead..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 That would be tough. At first the money angle, cash is always nice. If there was a way to tweak the rules to know that it would somebody you don't know, or ever meet, or not even in this country, then maybe. But the draw back is that if somebody else also has that choice to make, the person that dies could be you, or somebody you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 i'd consider it if i could get the mil in Pounds Fucking Sterling, instead.....So that begs the question if the initial answer is no... for how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Even if it was crazy money, like a 100 mil, I think no matter what you bought or did with the money, it would seem hollow, since it is literally "blood money".Although a few Duc RR's could take my mind off the fact of how you got the money.

mrbret Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Would the random person be anyone in the whole world or the room you are in?Would it be know to anyone that by taking the money you were the cause the death of person X?

OsuMj Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 alot of maybes in here... what if it caused one of your children (or other loved ones) to die? different answer this time huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alab32 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Nope. I am POSITIVE that if i got to pick the person, I would take it. I would even do it if I got the pick the person. But I wont be responsible for the death of someone else unless they "deserve" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Nope. I am POSITIVE that if i got to pick the person, I would take it. I would even do it if I got the pick the person. But I wont be responsible for the death of someone else unless they "deserve" it.And exactly what would qualify for them deserving it? Just curious, not trying to bash you here....

SAMBUSA Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Absolutely. Hell, I'd do it for less than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alab32 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 And exactly what would qualify for them deserving it? Just curious, not trying to bash you here....Without trying to sound like "that guy," after being through both Iraq and Afghanistan, there are MANY people I have come across that would deserve it. Some of them got what was coming to them and some of them did not. This could open up some opportunities to take care of loose ends, And get paid for it.
