peterhunter86 8,627 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Interesting answers -anyone heard of Karma ? If you would kill for a million you might kill for 100,000, your morality has already been established - you are just negotiating on the cost. Never, is the right answer; even if morality doesnt guide your choice, it might be you who commits suicide, even if you dont die as a result of the red button. Never is your answer. Surely there can't be a right or wrong answer. Everyone's different. I agree its a question that if we,re being honest and realistic the answer will be different for all of us its a very similar question to being asked would you grass for a million hence i joked earlier on saying you watch how many people will own up to that little scenario....not one !....but then theres more stigma attached to sending a person to jail for monetary reward than there is killing a person for monetary reward its a macho thing but the harsh reality is both can be bought so neither can be trusted. But would that mean that that anyone that does something for money has been bought. If you believe cleaning someones windows or plastering someones wall for financial gain is acceptable then no you have not been bought. If you believe being a spineless rat and killing a random person without getting your hands dirty for a quick pay off is acceptable then no you have not been bought. We all live by our own interpretation of acceptable. Whats the name of this film anyway ? Thats a fair answer. I couldnt be able to press that button id never be able to have a decent nights sleep if i did. As for grassing to me thats a pride thing i couldnt give a fcuk what people on the www think of me but i care what the people i know think of me how could i look people in the eye knowing i sunk that low. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I think a lot of the old fuckers on here would of pressed it if they were back in there day prob going back 30 years ago if asked the same question atb mud As a very aggressive and reasonably capable young lad doing all sorts of things chasing money 30 years ago i frequently had carrots dangled in front of me i didnt sell out on myself then and i wouldnt now i dont think you can learn to be a rat your either capable of it or your not. I think we are born with a clean soul and we develop our morality and ethics through our experience of life. Ultimately we find our own moral compass, it's up to each individual what is acceptable and what isn't. I've learnt a fair amount about charachters reading this thread. What I do know is I wouldn't press that button even if it was £100 million. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I do know is I wouldn't press that button even if it was £100 million.My immediate instinct was no way, and when I think of it as a black and white question I still think no way, but all these grey areas that are thrown up make me think, what situation would I kill for? I have no intention of ever killing a fellow human and I hope I never have to but there is no way I would kill an innocent person purely for an easy pay regardless of the amount.

There are definitely situations where I would be forced into taking someone's life but money isn't one of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,034 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Can't understand some peoples obsession with being 'bought', whether your cleaning windows for eight hours a day or pressing one button for a second if your physically doing the act you are selling yourself and if that's the case you can be 'bought'. The only way around being 'bought' is to do everything for free! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
