Ok...It's kinda like a game, but most people don't go there. So I'll put it here for max participation.
Admins...If I need to move it I will.
Here's the premise someone posts a hypothetical situation and then the others answer if they would or wouldn't. Yes or No and why.
IF you have a new hypothetical, post it.

^^^^Is quick on the draw.
I'll start it off...heard this on a radio station.
Let's say you meet a powerful person with unlimited wealth and power.
This person says that you can have as much money as you want, as long as you understand that for each million dollars you take, you'll lose one year of your life.
Do you take any money?
How much do you take?
Most of the members are young so feel that they can take a couple mill and still live a long time, but what if you took 2 mil and were scheduled to die in a car wreck in 2.5 years?
What do you do?

I wouldn't take the money because if I understand correctly 2 million would leave me with 6 months to live, right? So I would try to make the most of my 2.5 years...forget the money...but then again, since I am going to die in a couple of years, I could take the money to secure my children's futures given I'll be gone....I don't know, let me think and then I'll get back...

the thing about that is you never really know when you are going to die.. so since you loose a year when you take 1 Million... i would take $999,999.50

@ FOM - that scenario was only an example, you may NOT be scheduled for a car wreck in 2.5 years
@fatal - LOL THAT is not a part of the scenario, so I'm assuming you would just take no money?

BTW- I think I could do some thangs with a mil, and I think it's a worthy risk. At least for now because I don't have a mil.  It's really a question about how much you value your life. |

Post by FULLOFME on Jan 20, 2008 13:52:53 GMT -5
then I stick to my original answer, I would not take the money because I would be unsure of what to do with it because I could be about to die in a year...and taking the money would be giving up that mere year...I value my life...

But Cold you are not guaranteed life one way or another.
On the other hand you may die the very second you take the money and what good would that be?
So in the end I wouldn't take money because gambling is a sin. LOL

Ok...You can still answer the first one if you want, or discuss it. Here's the next one.
Let's say you meet a superfine person of the opposite sex, who wants to give it to you good, and you KNOW that it will be the best sex of your life, in the past or in the future. I mean NO ONE (or for the freaks - THING) can top it. That's a given. You'll never experience anything like it, and the feeling will linger. It' something you'll never forget, and it would make you look at sex a different way and you'll KNOW that nothing will equal it. I mean you could take the experience and write a best-selling How-To book and be wealthy, plus you'll have the experience to remember.
the only hang up is...this superfine person has a rare disease that destroys your sexual organs, and you can physically no longer have sex.
Do you do it?

post card and keep it moving.

Same scenario in next lifetime, and it's soooo good that you wouldn't even WANT to have sex again.

Just for clarification...The cause of death may NOT be a car wreck. It's your normal life...it could be cancer, plane crash, any number of things. the hypothetical is...Say you're gonna live 90 more years, would you take 10 million thinking that 80 more years is sufficient?
It's not about the specific numbers. The question is, how much would you take in million dollar increments? 1 million, 5 million? 45 million? none?
Is that clearer?

I'm still taking the money. We can die at any second.
How about you were supposed to die and you cheated death. So you got a plus one in the column. This is a negative 1 so they cancel each other out.
Either way I'm taking all of the money give most of it to my kids and buy other stuff that I can put in my tomb.

I'm gonna take that 45 Million. I'd be mad as chit if I don't take anything the die shortly afterwards. Being mad during the moment of death isn't good for the soul.

No to the sex questions...memories are good but they don't compare to the real thing ...plus aside from not having your genitals for future use, who wants to be a freak of nature with not sexual organs...

I would seriously consider taking the money and it's not so much about me and my stuff. I have a mom, a dad, and two god children. But I just really don't know.
As far as the sex scenario...HELL NAW, I'LL PASS!!!

No to the sex.
As for the money, I might take $250,000 and get my real estate business going--that means I'd only die 3 months ahead of schedule, right? And is this before or AFTER taxes?

Okay so no one wants to go with the sex scenario. What if the disease didn't make your genitals fall off? You could still have sex, but it was guaranteed that 1 out of every 10 times you did it after having intercourse with the best sex ever person you would have a non-lethal seizure during sex. Not necessarily every 10 times, but once out of the next sequence of 10 you're guaranteed to have a seizure.
SO you have the best sex ever then 1 out of every 10 times thereafter you have a non-lethal embarrassing seizure during sex. Do you do it then?

@troof - Yeah, but this sex is indescribable and you can only have it with this person. Once you do it, you'll know that your life wouldn't have been complete without experiencing those feelings, emotions, thoughts, etc.

I have a scenario.
You are boo'd up(married included) and for the most part you are happy.
Then you meet someone and immediately you have this mind blowing connection. This person has everything you've ever wanted in a person. You decide to maintain a friendship.
Yet you find that you constantly think about this person even when you're with your boo, but you shake it off because you don't want to be wrong. Suddenly the "friend" hints towards taking things further.
Do you give up what you already have to pursue the posibility?
