I could kill someone if they were about to kill me or my family. I would give up fast food. I would streak.

I'd give up fast food in a heartbeat. Oh, wait, I never eat the stuff anyway.

Having read through the thread, I told Colossus I was sure he'd make out with Dick Donato for a million dollars. Colossus took great umbrage with that, which I couldn't understand I told him he'd be more than happy to see me make out with Pamela Anderson for a million dollars. He begged to differ, he said there are some bridges you don't cross and anything having to do with making out with Dick Donato or Pamela Anderson are among them.

So then I told Colossus I bet he'd PAY Johnny Depp a million dollars to make out with him. Colossus said he'd split the money with him. LOL. Mah man has standards and taste.

I don't think I'd make one of those Mexican donkey movies for a million dollars, but it would depend on my mood. Tongue and cow anus? Amateur night. I'd do it twice on tv.

I am the biggest left leaning person ever, BUT I do believe that with certain crimes you forfeit your life. Like serial killers, rapist/murderers, pedophiles, violent repeat offenders of murders, etc. BUT on a case by case situation only. I do not believe in giving anyone carte blanche about killing someone else. And yes, I think I could pull the switch - if they were proven guilty, and there was perhaps videotaped evidence, and/or DNA evidence, and there was no reasonable doubt in the case.

Psssst...Nyheat...no, she's in the right thread, LOL

We were talking about killing someone for a million dollars, and she says that she could pull the switch if they were proven guilty and there was no reasonable doubt.

And I'd give up fast food for a million. I'd be sad, cause I love my McFlurry, but I'd deal.
And I don't think I'd give up my right to vote. My votes doesn't seem to matter in the scale of things, but I wouldn't be able to complain about Stephen Harper if I didn't vote to keep him out of office. LOL
My idea is that if you didn't go out and vote, you shouldn't be able to about politics, cause if you're unhappy with whoever's in power, you should have voted!!

Neko's right & shhh NYH, I posted that post in 2 threads, and it works for both of 'em. Grin. wink.

I HAVE given up fast foods for my diet. And today was a toughie. I was craving a tacobell taco sooooooo bad, and had a Tim Horton's yogurt and an apple-juice instead. BUT if someone had come along with a nice fat cheque for a million... taco bell here I come! Luckily the craving has passed!!! Phew.

BR, Me neither actually. Some folks were saying they couldn't pull the switch on death row, and I'm like, well yeah, under certain conditions I could, which I explained above. (But nah, I couldn't really do it for the money either. shudder)

So this doesn't really fall under the "for a million dollars" but I just watched, for the first time, Sophie's Choice...so here's everyone's choice

If you had both a son and a daughter, and you only could keep one (just like her), who would you keep??

I could and would, if given the opportunity, pull the switch on certain death row sentencees and would do it for free. There's a few I know of who I would even consider paying them for the chance.

oh...I get it Mame...sorry to be the thread monitor!

Scared to say what I would do for a million bucks; I've had windfalls before and they were squandered. Now the thought makes me sort of queasy.

At this point I would work hard at a great job for a million bucks! To be distributed in $100, 000 increments for 10 years. But only because of my previous missfires with money.

I don't think the would ever in the entire life span of the planet print enough money for me to do that, Nickovtyme. There's a lot I'd do for a million dollars but I do have a line and that one is definitely over the line.

For a million dollars would you be unfaithful to your SO? You could only tell them about it after or you wouldn't get the money.

I would not murder for any amount.

I would pull the switch if the criminal had committed crimes against a child but not for pay. I'd do it because I really thought it was the right decision for that person.

I would not give up my right to vote for money but would give up fast food since DH does most of the cooking now however, that would need the million dollar paycheck.

I asked my DH the Sophie's Choice question and he said he'd keep the daughter. We only have a daughter and I have to say, I give up anything and anyone before I would ever let her go. It's not the same as Sophie's choice because I don't have a son but I just cannot fathom ever choosing anyone before her.

I'm not making out with Dick Donato OR Pamela Anderson for even 100 million dollars. Some things just aren't worth the money. <blech!>

I'd give up the daughter. I never want a girl if I have babies. The child would pass through my loins, and be handed immediately to the father. Can't handle girls.

You say I "can" tell him after. Do I have to tell him?

I'm going to vote for Hilary for nothing...so sue me.

Sophie's Choice, now that is entirely another matter. After all these years I still can't get that scene out of my mind.

Evil Dick, shudder, not for two million.

I could never ever choose between my children. Ever! Look where it got Sophie anyway. That was one of the most gutwrenching scenes in a film.

For a million dollars, I'm sure my husband would let me cheat.

I talked to Colossus about it and we agreed that not only would neither of us vote for Hillary for a million dollars, we'd set ourselves or each other on fire before a vote for Hillary would come out of either of us. Unless it was a vote for Hillary to defect from the United States and run for President of France. They dig her socialist tendencies over there, it would be a good match. Oh, she'd have to take her husband too. He could be her food tester/lap poodle.

Couldn't cheat for a million unless I got the green light from the DH. Because he wouldn't forgive me if I didn't let him watch (yes, he's a guy like that.) Also apparently if it involves Dick Donato it's a no-go all around LOL.
