Rachmaninoff Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 The title really says it all, it?s simple, if given a substantial sum of money, what would you be willing to do? I?ve run into this question many times, in movies, older threads here, even in discussions at school or just with friends. Oh and by substantial I'm talking in the millions here. Anyway, some of the discussions I've had produced the declaration that one would perhaps be willing to sell their body but unwilling to harm someone else or commit murder. Or the statement that nothing could entice them to go against their moral code or do something that they are normally opposed to. Personally I like to think that no amount of money could persuade me to do something I would normally be very opposed to and yet without actually facing such a situation, I have to admit that I honestly don?t know what I would actually do. So? How about the rest of you? Would you do something if the price is right and if so what and why? Or if you wouldn't, again what and why?

I'm sure there's a lot i'd do for a ton of money. I think i draw the line at anything that would have a strong and lasting effect on me. That includes lasting psychological damage, AIDS, losing a limb, losing someone else's limb, an STD, etc. Oh... and i wouldn't do nasty stuff. I couldn't drink a cup of spit... or whatever other bodily fluid. I wouldn't murder someone i loved. I couldn't kill a billion puppies.... or maybe i could. Watch out, puppies, i'm comin' for ya.

eleanor Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 [font="trebuchet ms"] I would go through any 'gross' thing for a millions bucks. Drinking a cup of spit for a million dollars is just not a question for me, I'd do it in a heartbeat. At one point in my life I decided that getting in a tank with cockroaches would also be something I'd do for a million. Or even half a million. :) I would only sell my body if the person taking it was someone I approved, lol. Just kidding...

Korey Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]I have done things for money before, and some of them were pretty degrading....but it was all in wicked good fun. For example, I once drank a small glass of my own urine and I had to keep it down for a certain amount of time without hurling. That one was pretty easy, albeit a bit disgusting. There is a reason that people shouldn't drink their own urine, and it's because it tastes freakin horrible. I also drank a small thing of pure vanilla extract. I don't understand why vanilla smells so good and tastes so good in other things, yet pure vanilla is probably the most vile of substances ever concocted. It also makes you kinda tipsy, because it's like 35% alcohol...IDK.....lol. I've also done the whole "drink a gallon of milk and hold it down for 30 minutes" thing before. That was pretty hard, because milk just fills you up so quick and having that much in your body is just unhealthy. I made quite a bit of money on that one...:animesmil I do have limits to what I'll do for money however. I will never sell my body for money, nor will I commit murder or any other harm against animals or other human beings. It's amazing what I will do for money,though. The promise of cash normally can get me to do just about anything. I gotta see the cash first though. No cash, no act.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 [SIZE=1]I would do a lot, but not for money. Money is boring, haha. And I'm not kidding. But I suppose if you [i]need[/i] money, to live off, then I'd probably go as far as degarding myself, no murders or anything. And it wouldn't be too degrading, either. If I needed the money so much then I might as well not both at all and go find a sqaut to live in, like you find on every corner anyway XD I just don't think I'm a money person. If I were a money person I'd do everything: sex (even with men), theft, murder, pole dancing, hell I'd even lie and say DB is cool for a million bucks... actually, maybe I wouldn't. It's just a good job I'm not a money person, haha.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin M Yggdrasi Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 ~Odin's strange Price Chart~ #1, at a cost of $5000. I will kiss another guy full on the mouth. #2, at a cost of $7500. I will wear women's clothing for a full day. #3, at a cost of $10000. I will ride a bull for 8 seconds. #4. at a cost of $12500. I will shoot a category-5 rapids using only my body- no boat. #5. at a cost of $25000. I will climb a nearly impassible rock face of your choice, with only a belaying line and harness for equipment. #6. at a cost of $50000. I will expose myself to 10,000 volt electric wires with no protective equipment, for 1/10th of a second. (No it won't kill me, it just... tingles. #7. at a cost of $100000. I will run around fully nude in a thunderstorm, carrying a steel rod pointed skywards. #8. at a cost of $250000. I will allow a boa constrictor to wind itself around my body, and will not panic. #9. at a cost of $500000. I will bungee jump off of a bridge, the type of jump where the cable at maximum stretch dips my head into the river below the bridge. #10, at a cost of $1,000,000. I will grant any wish you desire, crimes and marriages excluded. [size=1]Wishes have a non-negotiable duration of 24 hours, and may not be refunded for any reason. Wishes must also not have a total expense greater than $750000. [/size] All prices must be paid in advance, and are only available in-person. Any services not listed may be obtained at the #10 rate, otherwise are not available. So yeah, there's a lot I would do that I wouldn't normally if I had cash in pocket for doing so. Note the fine print on #10 though, and you will see how I work.

It helps living on a farm, where the supply of it is rather large. One of my classmates downed a shotglass of diesel once, supposidly he actually liked the taste of it.

The reason it ranked so high is because I don't plan on breaking 3/4 of the bones in my body without enough money to pay for the resultant hospital bill. And it's not the ride that's the danger, it's the dismount- getting off the bull and out of the arena before I get killed.

[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] That's a lot of parameters for the antarctic one , however if it was agreed on in writing and either paid for in advance or the money held by a neutral agency I would have little recourse. The other one is just plain sick and is quite impossible. Odds are I wouldn't do something that crazy, since being nude in antartica would result in me being turned into an ice cube on short order, and I should have considered someone suggesting that when writing out my terms. So by the time all is said and done, no. I wouldn't agree to that, intercourse with anything other than a human of the female variety (or maybe a female body android) is not going to happen for any price. And I should have considered people with sick minds when writing out my terms, I was not expecting stuff like you guys have suggested at all.

Panda Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I would have my left index finger surgically amputated for one million dollars. Heck, I would probably do it for less. It's not like I really need that finger, PLUS it would make my hands even since I am already missing my right index finger. Come to think of it, if I were to get a million for each finger I would be willing to give up a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
