I wouldn't. And people, stop saying "If I could choose". The title specifically says one [i]random[/i] person. Random =/= Chosen
I probably would. I like money.
none of you would be ever able to actually kill someone in real life, you would try some fucking retarded game move and fail miserably ending with your face in the dirt.
at least i wouldn't be afraid if i saw a obese 16 year old wearing a anime shirt running at me.
[QUOTE=SamPerson123;27099313]I wouldn't. There's too much of a chance that the person would be someone who people love and care about. This is pretty much the same as firing a gun into a crowd, except you don't ever see who you killed.[/QUOTE]
Not really, 6 billion people it could be.
[QUOTE=Pythagoras;27152194]He's not supporting killing them, he's just pointing out the hypocrisy of people who say they would never kill somebody for money, and yet their lifestyle already causes people to die all around the world.[/QUOTE]
That's such a poor argument. Seriously. That type of reasoning gets us to: me being alive causes people to die; the planet is causing people to die; the universe is causing people to die. Esentially, every lifestyle causes people to die and this system of thought he proposed would have everyone guilty of deaths of others and thus negating all possible ethical reasoning due to an unknown number of "murders". Having this type of never ending cycle is not a very useful ethical system, since it boils down to whatever first started the cycle being responsible for the end result.
You may wish to use such a system to ethically evaluate things, but at its core its a broken system that fails in almost every respect. Either way, the major ethical systems of today are mostly all focused upon the proximate cause, not the ultimate cause.
I would, because even if you were caught, you'd have enough money for bail
Liberal pussy here.
$1 million isn't enough to live with the fact that I've killed someone for the rest of my life.
I'd do it if I could choose who and if I really needed that money.
I would pick someone very old and on their deathbed and promise the victims family a cut of the money.

You know there's alternatives to the things I posted, like buying from reliable sources in the case of candy, or purchasing clothes made in your own country/reliable source.
You're acting like the things I'm arguing about are the only choices Westerners can make, when in reality most unintentionally support these atrocities because they just want to save a dollar instead of paying for the "friendly" alternative.

No. You are simplifying things too much, using your reasoning we would have to take into account every action we take and how it would affect other individuals in the world. First of all, that's impossible given current limitations. Second of all, those "friendly" alternatives of yours will be overshadowed by other actions, just as "friendly", which affect individuals within the whole world both in a harmful and beneficial way.
Don't be so naive to think that the system you proposed would even be reasonable or can actually be used as a way to gauge the ethical makeup of a person.
Positively not.
money money money (yes)
I would If I wouldn't get caught
no because in the box [sp]they got fuked up because she pressed the button[/sp]
[QUOTE=Gordon Frohm;27120283]Wow. Out of 1100 Voters 600 would kill a random person for 1 Mio. USD. :ohdear:
1 Mio USD isn't a lot of money if you think about it.
That's only 747775.368 €, and that's not gonna last for a very long time. You'd still have to keep your regular job if you want to earn a living. (unless you live on it for a few years, but then it's gone)
Unless you have some elaborate plan to turn those 1 Mio USD into way more money, I wouldn't recommend doing something as bad as that for so relatively little money.[/QUOTE]
Not if you have a savings account, if I had 400 thousand usd I could pull about 1 thousand dollars a month on interest, so 1 million would be considerable.
I'd kill someone for less than that..
Depends, if the person was an asshole and his family was comprised of assholes, I dont think id have a problem.
Yeah, really depends on the person. Like if Ronald Reagan was still alive id shoot him, or that lead singer guy from Nickelback
I would kill the guy who killed JFK.
or nickleback, or the guy who made rap and pop, and justin beiber, and well fuck a few thousand different people, chances are I'd get one of them.
Sure I would. BUT THEN IT TURNS OUT THAT THE PERSON TO DIE IS ME! HURR DERP DERP DERP
sure yea depending on the person
[QUOTE=Capn'Underpants;27165675]or the guy who made rap and pop,[/QUOTE]
:downs:
Kill someone because they make music you don't like.
I wouldn't kill 95% of mainstream artists

It's not music, it's border line trolling the already brown shithole known as the music industry.
People I don't know die all the die, the only difference now is i'm getting money.
I think only very, very few of us can actually answer this question of whether or not you would be okay killing someone for money.
I suppose you could guess....
Nah, don't think I'd have a problem with killing someone but wouldn't for no reason
In theory yes, realistically no.
So its communism.
Definitely no. It's wrong and immoral. I would take my own life before someone else's.
Yes, but then I would revive them and keep killing them for infinite money.
I wouldn't because it could do all sorts of damage to any number of people's lives.
I couldn't kill someone, even for that much, no amount of money would change my mind. Even if I didn't know them, it would still be my fault
