Ryan. Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 right, your sitting in the pub and infront of you is a suitcase, it contains 1 million pounds. on the table opposite sits a man. a hard working, honest man who has always done the best by his wife and two kids. you can take this suitcase and walk straight out with the money however, if you do the man on the table opposite will have the most unfortunate missfortune of getting run over on his way home what would you do? EDIT: the man dies
villab0y Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 £1,000,000 would help with the guilt. And Id buy his kids a few pressies to make them feel better!!
villadude Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Does the dude get killed when he's run over?
villab0y Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Does the dude get killed when he's run over? Who cares???
villadude Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Does the dude get killed when he's run over? Who cares??? Hmmmm, dunno if I could live with meself if he died. I'd have no problem giving him a couple of broken bones and maybe a head injury for the loot though. :winkold:
desensitized43 Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 leave the suitcase...i'd rather be poor and have my self respect than a wealthy thief *cough* roman abramovich *cough*
Digsby Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Take the money and leave him some loose change with the express wish that he catches a Taxi home!!!
ClaretMahoney Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Hmmm...If I took the case, and I didn't know that it would cause him to get run over, then the answer is Yes. However, if I knew that me taking the case would result in him getting run over or dieing, then the answer is No. I wouldn't be able to live with myself spending the money... Good hypothetical question...
BOF Posted December 21, 2007 Moderator Posted December 21, 2007 I hate your question I want to say I'd leave the money, but I honestly don't know until put in the position (go on, put me in the position ). I also think the fact of knowing the man's demise would be a factor.
thetrees Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Easy. I could never knowingly see harm done to anyone. Money is not worth sacrificing life for, even that of someone with whom you have no connection.
BillyShears Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Have you read 'No Country For Old Men' by Cormack McCarthy????? I've just read it & in light of that I'd leave the money alone and walk away denying I'd ever seen it.
nrogers Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Take the money, then save the mans life by giving him a lift home in your new Aston Martin!!
mjmooney Posted December 21, 2007 VT Supporter Posted December 21, 2007 Have you read 'No Country For Old Men' by Cormack McCarthy????? I've just read it & in light of that I'd leave the money alone and walk away denying I'd ever seen it.Yes, very good book. I expect it will be filmed as it's so violent. If I knew what would happen o the guy, there's no way I'd take it.

BOF Posted December 22, 2007 Moderator Posted December 22, 2007 Maybe it's my (admitted) lack of faith in humanity but I'm really finding it hard to believe that 43% of people would pass up the chance to walk away with £1,000,000. In fact I'd go as far as to suggest people are talking sh1te
El Zen Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 I, on the other hand, Brian, am surprised more than half of us don't value the life of a fellow human being more than a million quid.
Grant(aka_eddy) Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 I'd leave it, honestly i would. If you told me there was a 'chance' something bad might happen to him however, then we'd be talking! But knowingly depriving two kids of a dad and a wife of a husband, not a chance. I value life above all else.
