BrassFusion Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Brenda: You'd get a tattoo of a swastika on your ass for a million dollars... right? =) Get in the spirit of the game already! Kelly: You said you wouldn't kill anyone... what about a terminally ill cancer patient, say, 85 years old, who was not only mean and crotchety but begging you to pull the plug?

Then I wouldn't give him the satisfaction
Paper Hearts Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 we're all sluts in some manner or another though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not a piece of meat.
BrassFusion Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Then I wouldn't give him the satisfaction <{POST_SNAPBACK}> MY pride isn't worth a million dollars... I'd definitely do it.
phee Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 The question is.... Do you get taxed on the million? because then its more like $580,000.00
BrassFusion Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 The question is.... Do you get taxed on the million? because then its more like $580,000.00 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> X( let's assume the million is under the table.
phee Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Well then what if you get audited by the IRS?.... maybe some of that money would have to be a bribe...
kellygrrrrrl Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Under those circumstances, Brass.....Yes. I'd pull the fucking plug. (But I could just as easily convince my Brother to do it for a cool $1000 bucks...like here this guy just asked me to pull the plug, when he's not looking...YOU do it....) I found my loophole!! :woot:
Rayne Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 And Rayne... anyone who says they wouldn't do something abnormal, humiliating, or painful for the meager pittance of a million dollars is LYING. People do shitty painful traumatic degrading stuff for money all the time. It's called work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hence why I said normally. I do not amend my answer.
Brenda Starrr Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Brenda: You'd get a tattoo of a swastika on your ass for a million dollars... right? =) Get in the spirit of the game already! Kelly: You said you wouldn't kill anyone... what about a terminally ill cancer patient, say, 85 years old, who was not only mean and crotchety but begging you to pull the plug? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. I stand by what I say.
Anathema Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I'm not a piece of meat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ok. even in the sence of having a job one is a slut/whore no matter what. You sell your services for money whether it be at burger king flipping burgers or the owner of a billion dollar computer company. so in in one way or another everyone is a slut/whore! (well, unless your jobless, homeless and just say screw you society)

BrassFusion Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 So Rayne and Brenda... how much would it cost for you to anonymously trip someone walking by in a crowded airport, if the aliens who offered you the money assured you that no one would know you did it?
Rayne Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 So Rayne and Brenda... how much would it cost for you to anonymously trip someone walking by in a crowded airport, if the aliens who offered you the money assured you that no one would know you did it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One of those situations I don't know how I would react unless placed in it. But I can tell you I would not do it for a million dollars. I have the "someone's gonna catch me if I do something wrong" phobia. I probably would say "no thank you" and walk away, regardless of the amount.

I probably would say "no thank you" and walk away, regardless of the amount. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But these are aliens we're talking about. Psychic aliens who beamed you into their ship to make the offer. There is NO WAY these aliens would let you take the fall (pun intended). To really have fun at this game there are a set of assumptions, and one of them is that you won't suffer any consequences other than your own guilt or the distaste of doing whatever it is you have to do for whatever sum of money. Like, if I KNEW I wasn't going to get caught, I would trip just about anyone. The dollar amount would depend on the person. If it was a really old person, I'd need a lot more money, because they could break a hip and I'd feel awful. I'd still do it. :devil If it were, say, a 90-year-old woman in a walker, I'd want about two grand. If it were a kid between the ages of about 5 and 18, I'd do it for as little as 20 bucks. Most kids deserve it. If it was a toddler, I'd need 50. Then of course there's the special contingent of people I'd trip for free. Even a few I might pay to trip *coughtomcruisecough*. In admitting my price for these various deeds, I'm admitting to being a rotten person, I suppose; a scalawag that would trip an innocent toddler for 50 dollars. So I can see why some people might not like to think about it for fear of discovering something about themselves that they didn't want to know. Bottom line: If I had a million dollars, I could live with one hell of a guilty conscience.

holliwood66 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 For a Million? Nothing out of the ordinary. It's quite in the realm of possibility for me to earn that much through carefull investing and hard work - so no need to do anything compromising.
Head Wreck Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 for one million cups of tea i could make my eyes pop out and bounce around the room some more

A million dollars to assassinate Tom Cruise would replace a lifetime of hard work and uncertainty.
Anathema Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I feel so dirty now. I am a little slut! ...Actually, it's kind of liberating. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol. admitting it is the first step to happiness. well maybe not but it sounded good.
Melova Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Bottom line: If I had a million dollars, I could live with one hell of a guilty conscience. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep. (insert random, colorful description of dasterdly and risque acts done for saild amount of money.) I'll even dance too.
BrassFusion Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Yep. (insert random, colorful description of dasterdly and risque acts done for saild amount of money.) I'll even dance too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will you make love to me, starshine?
