    For 1.6 million dollars? Uh...yeah. There are very few things I wouldn't do for that kind of cash. I'd just do what I did before the first time I jumped out of an airplane-- take 20 mg of Valium.  Smiley

    I was thinking on similar lines - get drunk or high in some way and think how my kids will benefit even if I do die.

    If I was a decent diver, I would probably do it for the 1 Million. But considering that I've never dived in my life, then no, or at least not yet.

    Yes, I can see why.

    Bye the way, have you read the book ? If not, you should. It is a wonderful book, very moving by the same author who wrote the Kite Runner.

    Dunno-- I mean, I wouldn't murder somebody unless I really thought they had it comin to them and the world would be better off with out them. I wouldn't rape someone unless they were a rapist themselves. Other than that, nothing comes to mind. I'm sure there's other things I wouldn't do for $1.6 mil, but I can't imagine there are too many.

    I'd certainly put my own life on the line for that kind of money, depending on the risk. The main concern would be taking away my disabled mother's only son, but on the other hand, I could make a really nice life for her with that kind of money, so depending on the level of risk, I'd definitely risk my life for that much money.

    I make many decisions based on a risk-benefit analysis now that I'm not as impulsive as I once was, so let's game this one-- the only significant risks to dying or becoming permanently disabled that I see in this scenario are-- (1) having a heart attack, (2) missing the pool entirely and hitting my head on the pavement. Drowning seems highly unlikely, even if I'm momentarily unconscious, as I'm sure there are EMTs on hand if something goes wrong. So, given the fact that I don't have a history of heart disease, and the fact that while I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, I think I could hit the pool, that risk-benefit analysis looks pretty damn favorable at first glance, at least.

    Now it's possible I'd get up there and be so terrified I'd freeze up, but you better fuckin believe I'd make my best effort to conquer my fear and do it. I did it for skydiving and I didn't have anyone paying me money to do it-- rather it was the reverse.

    I like this game  Smiley Would you, Q-Man, eat a dead baby, very small one Wink. the parents are consenting because they want something positive to come out of the sad demise, and, hey, it's dead anyway? The worms'll only get it.

     Reply #21 - October 31, 2009, 06:22 PM
    That's tough. I mean, the baby is dead anyways, right? So, technically-speaking, I find nothing immoral about the act, but, due to obvious cultural taboos, I still find the idea quite repulsive. Not sure I could do it without vomiting, and even if I could, that seems like a psychologically-scarring experience, and not sure I need another one of those, even for $1.6 mil.

    I would consider it, but I dunno-- although I don't think it's immoral and there's very low physical risk involved, the risk to my already unstable psyche seems quite high. I'm leaning towards no right now.
    fuck you

    You could cook up a nice recipe, so it doesn't seem so human, a bit of paprika, coriander, cumin, on a bed of cous-cous, mmm, nice.......and with all that dosh, you'd soon forget any mental damage caused Smiley

    As for Islame and his edible cock......hmmm, need to think about that Smiley

    Islame, if you knew that by clicking your fingers and saying 'go for it', someone in China would die (but you'd never know who, and its a big, big place), may be a pensioner, terminally ill cancer patient, or a new born - you will never know - and a million big ones for your trouble would appear in your bank - would your conscience let you do it?
