I Have A Suitcase...

[vicar in a tutu]

...And it's crammed full of money, $75,000,000 to be exact and you can pick it up and walk away with the lot. All you have to be aware of is that by doing so, a man in China will fall off his bicycle and die.

Will you pick it up siblings?

[mongo]

instantly.

[vicar in a tutu]

Could you live with yourself? What if the Chinese equivalent of me (monk in a kimono) asks the same question to a Chinaman and he says "instantly" and a male relative of yours dies?

[mongo]

i'd hunt him down and ask for a few mill.

[Pharon]

The premise is flawed. You can't fit $75 million in a suitcase.

This is what $100 million looks like (all $100 bills):

FAIL.

[redsox39]

lol, you are an asshole Pharon! lol

This seems silly, how do I know this guy will fall off his bike and die? I probably wouldn't believe the nonsense and take the money.

Actually that's a billion....


Also I would leave the suitcase where it sits and just take the money out. Cheating the system FTW!

[Pharon]

BTW, I added a poll option...

And I would take the cash in a heartbeat, no question.

Hell, I'd probably do it for $1,000.

[Kerjack]

Never mind my bad. That is 100milion.

[Pharon]

No, THIS is a billion:

[Bizz]

75 million is a lot of money. As someone who saved lives for a living, I'd take the money. Everyone has a price.

[Kerjack]

I said yes, but really I'm not ALLOWING anything. Its just what happens.

[mongo]

the population needs thinning anyhow.

[Pharon]

let's start with you

[mongo]

i hope your mom is the one who falls off the bike.

[mongo]

if it's hard cash, none.

[Pharon]

That kind of scratch would buy almost 5,000 lbs. of gold.

I would melt those bars down and build a gold igloo.

[the creeps]

i would take the money in a second. i would do it for a mill. maybe even half of that.

[Quantum Leap]

Chances are there's going to be someone in China falling off their bike and dying whether I take the money or not.

[moe_blunts]

there are too many chinks as it is

[Alcestis]

....awkward.

[smith42687]

I get 75M and a way to randomly begin population control? Win/Win.

in china? fuck i'd pick it up for a buck fifty.

[wonderllama]

I'm not entirely sure how this at $75Million is a philisophical issue.
Sure, we all say "everyone has a price" but $75million is setting the bar extremely high don't you think.

Setting aside the e-bigotry, what if it was much less money, and what if it was someone in your family?

Sure, you might hate Aunt Bertha so no loss there, but what about your immediate family. What if someone offered you $10million and in return your mother was to drop dead.

It's easy to take money when a faceless Chinese man is the victim.

[}{arlequin]

^so it's a yes?

[STDSkillz]

You guys are assholes.

[}{arlequin]

who's to say some other 30 chinese don't drop dead every second whether you pick it up or not?


(yeah i know, it's not in the hypo but now it is)

[wonderllama]

It probably IS a yes for Chinese, only because I don't see the consequences.

In general, people do what they can get away with, be it speeding, drinking too much or letting Wang Chung die in China.

I'm sure folks like Ghandi wouldn't take the cash, but he's the exception to the norm.

[Kerjack]

He probably beat his wife anyway.

[Kerjack]

And they have a worse unemployment rate then we do, I'm helping out in two ways. Free up a job and creating more with my spending.

[}{arlequin]

He probably beat his wife anyway.
i figured you'd be one of the few that answered the other way

[Kerjack]

My glass is always half full.

In a minute. People die everyday, who is to say that one man would of lived past the minute i took the offer?

[Kerjack]

i figured you'd be one of the few that answered the other way

Unless the guy could prove to me it would happen, and that nobody else would pick up the suitcase... I'm not about to stand around and guarding it all day.

And even if I did a guy would kill me... ME... for it anyway. I can't do that to the world.

[wonderllama]

What if you were only TOLD there was $75mill in the suitcase.
You agree, the guy dies and there's actually only $75 in it.

Are we feeling gypped or remorse?
(ignore the fact that we probably wanted to check it first)

[}{arlequin]

you make it sound so logical. it's a shitload of cash. you don't need logic for that

edit: to kj

[Pharon]

I'd even pick it up if I knew it was one of you guys who was gonna get whacked.

[Mustard]

If I get 75 million in gold, then sure. 75 million in dollars? Fuck paper currency.

[slore]

Could you live with yourself? What if the Chinese equivalent of me (monk in a kimono) asks the same question to a Chinaman and he says "instantly" and a male relative of yours dies?
Will the Chinamans (why not say chinks its equally racist) relatives know the death was caused by this scenario. Would I know a male relatives death was caused by the reverse? If not then I would do it, if so I would think on it for a few minutes. Using this logic would nuking China reverse the current economic situation America (assuming this question was directed at Americans). Isnt that why we joined in on WWII? To help jumpstart the economy after the great depression.

I would kill you for $75mil.

[freegood]

I imagine I kill people indirectly for a lot less. Like buying blood diamonds, watching MTV, or shit like that.

[vicar in a tutu]

I would kill you for $75mil.

I would kill you for air miles.

I suppose picking up the suitcase with the knowledge you have would be an act of murder but without the punishment or the fanmail from Big Pizzle? Could you live being labelled a murderer for all that cash (or gold bullion if you prefer?)

Mind you, think of all the good you could do with that money? like keep dozens of charities going or feeding and clothing the homeless in your local area or blow it all on plastic surgery and get yourself 3 dicks and 8 titties?

[}{arlequin]

yeah, i'm not imagining anyone changing their mind on this, even w/ the new hypo

[Okie Medicvet]

Okay, the poll results don't surprise me one bit. And my reason is no, for purely selfish reasons. I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt that every day I would know that I killed someone for the money.
