What is the one thing you would not do, no matter how much money you were offered?

I would never ever in a million years, and not for a million dollars, would I ever sit through Showgirls.

I would not have any sort of sexual contact with my ex. Ewww.

Kill a baby or an animal.

I loved Showgirls!!!

Die. Short of that I can't be sure until the situation crops up.

Be motivated by money alone.

Eat Bill Gates' vomit.

I don't think I'd kill for money. I'd kill to save a loved one, but not for money.

answer this survey. oh christ-- there, I've gone and done it...

Cheat on my husband.

There a probably about a thousand things or more I would not do no matter how much money I was offered.

there are plenty of things i wouldn't do, no matter how much money was offered to me. probably too many to list. money doesn't drive me, so i can't give one answer. anything from hurting a persons feelings to killing someone....

I think my thinking on this sort of thing is a little different than a lot of people. For instance, for those who wouldn't kill for money:

What if you were given two hundred billion dollars to kill John Doe, which you could then donate in it's entirety to cancer research?

there are too many things i wouldn't do

supplicant..i would kill a john doe...as long as it wasn't a child...i know that doesn't make much sense...a killer is a killer...but i wouldn't have the heart...hell i don't know that i would have the heart to kill a man...but i'd try for 200,000,000,000....

so supplicant, somehow the donation makes up for the killing?? and what is the point of the donation then, the end justifies the means???
and also, in your mind a person's life is only worth two hundred billion dollars or that is how much someone is worth if you don't know them?
lastly, if the two hundred billion still doesn't finance a cure for cancer, was it still worth it????

I certainly wouldn't put a glass thermometer into my urethra then smash it with a hammer.

really bill, i've heard that's quite pleasurable

Damage myself.

It can be ;)...but most of the men I've done that to have cried like little gurls! I don't get it! Ungrateful worms!

jen...yes...a surprising little bonus for later!:)

jettles: I didn't say I'd do it, I don't know if I could/would or not, my point is some might see the end as justifying the means and change their opinion. I think you can't be so sure of the things you won't do for any amount of money.

As for your last question - if it didn't find a cure it at least cut out more options which would have had to be funded elsewhere and leaves more resources for different options.

If you want a more clear-cut example:
What if under the same scenario you donated the money to helping famine victims, and you can guarantee you saved lives by doing it. Does that make it right? No, but does it make it justifiable in your own head? In some cases yes, and even if not some might decide to do it 'for the greater good' and end up an insane wreck because they can't live with the decision they made.

supplicant,i don't believe i would be able to do it, for any amount of money. i do agree that people can't be sure what they would do with the lure of money in front of them.
but you seemed to have forgotten about the life that was taken/ended.... how could anyone take a life, even of someone they don't know, i believe that life is worth more than any money that could be gotten and any hope to help others. besides, how could you be sure you weren't killing the person with the cure to cancer/aids/etc. in their future. and who is to say what the greater good is? or who's greater good it was for?

How could anyone not take a life, provided with the right motivation?

For some people no amount of money, even if it is being justified as money that will save others, is enough, though I believe it is enough for more people than people think/admit.

For most (almost all?) a personal and immediate threat against their family would make them kill in defense, if one motivation can cause them to kill, can't another be made attractive enough to convince the killer inside to come out?

*shrug* A futile argument anyway.

true-it is futile, we could argue from now until the "cows?" come home and i still wouldn't know until in that situation i guess. thanks supplicant, for making me try to discover more of myself!

Supplicant - I could probably kill someone like Hitler for a huge sum of money (or none). Slobodan Melosovic comes to mind...he's caused an awful lot of suffering.

There isn't one thing. There are countless things I wouldn't do.
Murder, rape, pillage, talk to my family...

I'm sure there are many things that fall into this category - money is just not that important to me. No mutilation, harming of or breaking up with loved ones, injuring pets or innocent bystanders, etc. for me, thank you very much.
