[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;27186957]It really depends on who it is. People don't seem to care for other humans who died if those didn't really have any chance to live. I mean, what if a patient in a critical condition, suffering from a terminal disease, slowly dying in pain, got shot? I mean, honestly, who would care?[/QUOTE] But the question is about a random person. It's a thought experiment about whether there is a material value on a human life, or whether it is sacred and held above all things. If you move outside the question, it becomes easier to justify killing a murder, a rapist or someone who is set on killing themselves. You're missing the point if you can choose who you kill. And even so, justifying killing someone by thinking "it could be someone who's terminally ill and wants to die" isn't a good enough reason. The person who dies could easily be a loved one.
who cares ~kill bitches get paid~ errday [HoLLaSqUaD] reppin tha str33ts
Agree Don't kill the person Come back to collect the money Pop the fucker in the head Laugh maniacally as I have made off with $1M by killing the scum of society.
No... for two reasons: 1) To me, no amount of money is worth potentially killing a completely innocent person (yes those do exist, I've never met one, but I'm positive they do exist), child, single mother with 3 kids, ect. I'm sure everyone would love one less child raping murderer in the world, but the OP did say "random". I wouldn't be able to enjoy a cent of it knowing what my decision could have done. 2) I believe that no human being has the right to judge the value of human life. Money motivates our society, it controls it, we all do things we either do or do not want to do to acquire it. For the most part, at one point or another and whether we like to admit it or not, each of us have directly equated it to a person's success. It buys "material" happiness, it can cause wars, it starts and ends human relationships, ect ect. It has been argued to be both evil and good depending on its intention; it is definitely agreed upon to be necessary. There are very few people who would readily turn down that amount of money, especially given the economic state of our world. I know I wouldn't. I grew up in poverty, so to me, having food to eat and a place to sleep was a luxury for a long time; but I still believe in principles more than the greed we all fight back on a daily basis and always will. Money just isn't worth the potential destruction of all of a person's potential, their dreams, their thoughts, their value to our world, their love and anything else that we all possess that makes us human. I don't think that anything is worth destroying all of that. Just my opinion

Nope
whos to say i havent
If it wasn't someone who I, or my friends know, and I'd get away with it, I'd kill without thinking twice.
[QUOTE=Louis;27099106]Yeah. [editline]31st December 2010[/editline] Money is money[/QUOTE] and jail is jail (maybe death) [editline]4th January 2011[/editline] the cops will catch me anyway so why would i bother?
I would do it, if it was legal for me.
I'd suspect a trick, so no.
I have no problem with it so yes, for sure. 6 billion people? One less won't matter. And the good part is it's random! I've got more chance of killing some bushwhacker opiate growing dope out in the middle of some innocuous rainforest somewhere halfway across the world than I do some actual genuinely decently good person somewhere else. The best part is, I get a million bucks for doing it! Unless that random choice ends up being me. Then that's not good at all...
I would kill my family for $100,000 at the least.
i have killed many random people who are in no way contribute to my missions in video games so why not ?
When you kill a person, you not only kill everything they were, but everything they were going to be.
Say yes. Take the gun he gives you. Instead of killing the [b]random[/b] person, kill the guy who offered 1mil and everyone next to him. Take all the money. Dispose of body. Get away without any notoriety.
Yes. I would press the [b]fuck[/b] out of that button.

This would make a good question in sociology class. My answer would be undecided.
yes. Money talks, and the majority of people are scum anyway.
[QUOTE=Tealeaf;27186153]He's saying that people who claim that they value human life over material possessions (money) are indirectly contributing to the deaths of people in the poorer parts of the world because of their generally indulgent western lifestyle. By the logic of people who would never kill for any amount of money, spending money on a luxuries such as expensive food or fashionable clothes is wrong because that money could be donated and save someone's life elsewhere. Yet they do this everyday.[/QUOTE] But how does that actually mean that I'm killing people by buying clothes. You're saying every time I buy a pair of pants a child in Africa randomly diess for no foreseeable reason except that it was caused by me? Yes, there is slave labor and sweatshops around certain parts of the world, but saying that me buying clothes is killing them is too redundant a statement to have any credibility. By that logic, you could say that if you voted for Bush in 04 you would be responsible for all the deaths in the Iraqi War because he approved of sending troops over there and having them kill and die.
