Would you, for a million dollars....

Under the set of circumstances set by the OP, no. But in defense of my life, yes.

No way in hell.

Life is sacred.

I think I remember that one. It was a bum with a box? Or something.

Anyway, no, I don’t think I would. I’m not too sure though.

There was a Twilight Zone episode that pretty much addressed this question. A lady was given a box with a button on it. All she had to do was push the button and she would get something (money?) and someone she didn’t know would die. She debated and fretted until finally she pushed the button. Immediately a man showed up to to retrieve the box and give her whatever. The really creepy part was the response she got when she asked what would happen to the box next. The man looked at her and said, “It’ll be reset and given to someone you don’t know.”

No.

The only way I could kill someone is if they had hurt my son. Million or no million.

LOL. :smiley: I almost spit my hot tea all over the computer. You crack me up.

Short answer, no.

Long answer, ummm, I guess there isn’t one.

Goddammit, where are we supposed to get our drugs now, huh, buddy boy?

Oh sure, we finally got tons of free cash to blow but now we got no drug dealer.

Nice job, bucko. Jeez.

Hell, I’ll do it for 20 bucks and a package of Milk Duds. For a million, I’ll stack the bodies up like firewood.

No.

I could kill somebody for a million dollars, if I could confess the crime publically and suffer no ill consequences. I don’t think I could keep something like that a secret.

I don’t know. Is he hot?

No, I would never kill a perfect stranger for any kind of money. I’d be tempted to turn that gun on the guy who’s dealing that kind of deals. (TEMPTED, I said)

tsk. You’ve never had one of your legs incapacitated, have you? I have(two months ago, broke my knee, am still in rehabilitation), and I can say that I would never trade a limb for money (hell, for anything).

LOL!! Oh boy that was funny.

Personally, I would never do it. Not even if the guy killed my mom. I just don’t have it in me.

I don’t think I really have it in me. If you could convince me it was for some greater good, perhaps. But for money, or even revenge . . . nope.

There are people who I wish would fall into some sort of temporal distortion and pop out of existance, but I don’t really wish even them DEAD.

We have a good mix going on here. The group I hang out with ask this one of any new person, as well as another “Million dollar question” that I’ll post later…

FTR- It was an episode of Twilight Zone, it was a couple that was fighting about money, and this strange man showed up with a briefcase and a box with a single red button. He told them that they would get the briefcase full of $1,000,000 if they could push the button, but someone “you don’t…even…know.” would die.
After agonziing, they push the button. The rest is as jesuslynch said.

Now then- personally I think I could do it… hell, I’ve come close enough for free, a million dollar pay off would be icing. I would do it, and sleep well that night. Some folks go on about how a mil isn’t much, but what do they know? Me, I could make a mil go faaaar… and pay for both my kids collage, and mine, if I ever go.

Then again, I have sort of an odd take on a lot of this sort of thing. so I suppose it’s to be expected.

Thanks to all who’ve replied!!

If the um, ‘client’ in question were Bill Daley or James Baker I’d do it for free! Sort of a public service, you might say.

Who’s with me on this?

Im not worried about being judged or torched in hell or anything like that. The only reason I wouldnt do it is simply because i wouldnt want it done to me. If i talked to the guy and he said he didnt mind then ::POW::
