Everyone has their price

With 25mil, Z, you can vanish. New identity much?

Yes, but that's coming out of the 25 million. That's essentially taking less than the maximum they're willing to pay simply to cover up for their screwup - I'll be getting less than what I'm supposed to be paid at the end of the day, like some sort of tax. For killing people.

I saw this documentary somewhere, or this book or something, and it's got an interview with a terrorist... Or someone like that, and he says the trick to committing mass killings (Bombs, and all that) is to not think of the victims as people, just think of them as an object, like a can you're gonna pop with your BB Gun.

I would refuse. First off, those thousand people will have friends and family who will needlessly miss them and in that sence innocent people are harmed. Second, terrorist implies that the group wanting to possess my knowledge are not fighting for their freedom but rather are attempting to strip freedom of some other group. I will not be a part of that. Third, the value of even a single human life is worth, in my mind, far more then all the money in the world.

1,000 people aye? I'd take the 25mil; if that's the upper limit, I'll take all I can get out of them. No point ripping yourself off if the number of casualties is going to be the same.

Yup, thats exactly what I was thinking =D>

If i could choose where the bomb could go off, I'd do it for free just for the experience and the ability to tick the box of serial killer in "Achievements in Life". :-#

Bomb like a starving africa country and put them out of their misery, and take 25m :D

That... would actually have worse consequences than bombing a first-world city.

See my post.

See my post.

If your dropped it on like an American city, it's not like people are going to let it go will they? They'll probaly start a war or something, well I dunno....Your post was well thought out, i mean i never thought of it that way...Well, when it says random people, it never says you could drop it like in the ocean and then just random people from random countries die...Don't ask me how..

Yes, because Americans will start a war as soon as something bad happens, never mind that they won't know who is actually behind it.

The problem with the OP is that it's ambiguous regarding consequences.

I think he was saying there would be no consequences, like those people never existed in the first place. Trying to simplify the money/murder ratio as much as possible just to see what peoples' price is.

I'll just say under the scenario given I would not do it, I'd need more information about who I would be killing. 90% probable I wouldn't do it after I am given more info.

No [bleep]ing way.

"Kill one innocent person, it is as if your killing all of humanity."

(Or something like that)

If it wouldn't touch or affect anyone I know or care about than, yes, I'd do it for 25mil upfront. (if there are no consequences).

Raised to say no :| .

If it was 1000 senators and lobbyists and corporate goons, hell, I'd do it for free.

It all depends on what kind of people are getting bombed.

The innocent person thing is debatable, but I won't argue it.

 

 

 

What if they have family somewhere? Or what if the area bombed is rich in certain raw materials, which in turn affects families who work with related industries? Someone will suffer in the end.

 

 

 

Okay, in an infinite universe, with infinite possibilities, you're probably right. Somebody would be

 

affected in the end. However, in the universe I've created with this scenario, everything in the

 

world stays exactly the same, except for these people die and you're a certain amount of money

 

richer. What I want to know is, how much money would it take for you to cooperate with the terrorists?

 

 

 

Or like I said, if you can't be bought, just say so.

I can't be bought. Guilt is a female-of-the-canine-family.

How are the 1000 people not innocent? I think I missed something there...

I wouldn't do it. I always believed people who harm innocent people are not worth anything, and I'm not about to become a hypocrite. In addition with the 1000 deaths, they have familiy: another 4000 mourning. With the whole country at alert, another 300 million worried. A war breaks out, another 10,000 killed.

How are the 1000 people not innocent? I think I missed something there...

Exactly. I figure it down to, they're innocent in the sense that they did nothing to have it coming.

And you know they didn't have it coming because you're selling a bomb to terrorists, who strive to create terror, usually through physical attacks, on innocent people.

I would do it, but it would have to be waaaaaay more that $25,000,000 some where in the high hundren millions would be my price, otherwise absolutely not

I'd do it. As long as I know where its going to happen and manage to get some camera footage of the damage.

I'd then take the $25,000,000 for myself and sell the footage to the media. The money raised by the footage would go to the family's of the deceased and be used to save as many lives as possible around the world.

I'm assuming the only film footage of a another 9/11 type incident would be worth loads. I can't begin to guess how much.

seeing as I have to answer with a minimum of $1 million, ill say that, but truthfully, I;de do it for about $5 American.

Money can't buy happiness and anybody that thinks it can is naive and deserves to be killed by the terrorists :lol:

No, not in this case. If I were to make something like this, I would be the mindmaster of the operation, I wouldn't reduce myself to be a mere subordinate. And whatever horrible thing I would decide to do, it would be something sly, conceived for a certain purpose, not for monetary reasons.

:XD:

I like this thread... If answers are truthfully written you can see who would screw you over for a quick buck, who is going to save the world when they grow up and who puts their family over any possible given price...Then of course you have the people who are fence sitters who want the money and to save the world.

Other things I can see is if you have a close relationship with your family, whether there is hostility, poker face people, those who grew up in a strict environment compared to those in a more lenient, those who are raised in close families, those who have lost someone in their family or a divorce....

Shutting up now... :-k
