This is spurred on by a conversation we were having hear. Some of us watched Fear Factor and one person said that it was totally humiliating to do that kind of thing for money, and that they would never, for any amount do something like that.

So, do you have a price? is there a point beyond which you will not go, regardless of the reward offered, be it monetary or otherwise?

For example

would you eat live centipedes for $50,000? if not then how much?

What would you do for a million pounds?

What would you never do, regardless of reward, ignoring a life or death situation

Does everybody have a price? Personally speaking, I think most people would have a price, for things like eating nasty things or doing something dangerous, when it comes to something like taking another persons life, or such like, it's more difficult, personally, unless it was a life or death situation I don't think there would be anything that could be offered to me to make me take another human life.

you wont know until the moment it becomes a genuine option, until then its just speculation.

When I smoked, I used to think there were times I'd kill for a cigarette. Nothing big, you understand. Certainly not a human, or even a small mammal, but would I have killed, say, a snail for a cigarette? You bet!

Not that molluscs are often in possession of a packet of Marlboro, mind you ......

Hey Markus - depends who you're being asked to Kill.

Lets see - some might not mind taking out these folk;

1. Ian Huntly
2. Maxine Carr
3. Osama Bin Laden
4. George Bush
5. Ruud Van Nistelrooy

In no particular order

i would always be one to say "no way" but in the spur of the moment and if the task was reasonably acceptable and the reward high enough then i would (but lots of beer may be required) - in reference to eating a centipede or something tame like that.

top thread idea sharkus!

PS - thought I recognised the banksie quote. 'street is one of my fave non sci-fi banksie books.

I'll never give my "butt" virginity for any price..

Dapster

I'd like to go on Fear Factor and say "there is absolutely NO WAY that I'm going to have a sordid threesome with Cameron Diaz and Tyra Banks, with both of them dressed in leather and armed with a bottle of baby oil. You get that? NO WAY Jose" and then in the interest of public service, confront my fears.

Think it'll work?

pslewis

My Butt is for sale to one of the Gold Wheel lovers out there - £1 million would be the price!!

Rubber to be used plus lots of KY jelly - and NO touching my *******!

must admit for a cool mil its pretty hard to say no to anything.

BEW

apples24 how about I shoot you in the head with a 12 bore then?

David_Dickson

Yeah, once we are talking figures over a few hundred thousand, there is very little I wouldnt do.

Taking it up the tradesmans? the thought makes my eyes water, but Id do that for 100k or so. Tens minutes pain and humiliation for 100k? yeah no problem!

LG John

Oh come on Katana - are you saying you wouldn't take a shot in the a$$ for £10M????? Think of how totally sorted for life you'd be with that. Hell, I'd do it for a cool million

Markus

Some interesting answers, exactly why I posted this up.

As said by a few, when the money is high enough, there's not a lot people won't do.

Question is, if money was not offered, what kind of other reward would you be prepared to accept? For example, let's say this stunning little beauty said she'd be yours forever if you let her big mate dave beat you to a pulp, or let him do what Image Doctor asks of most ladies?

BEW your on mate, but you would have to be standing 20 feet away

Katana

Come now Kenny. After doing it to several girlfriends in the past, do you REALLY think that I'll let anyone near mine?

20 feet and you are a dead man, 200 feet and you would need some hospital treatment.

I have been shooting today (clays) and can dust them at 50 meters when hit right. Pheasants/ducks can be killed at 40 meters without too much of an issue. It is also possible to get a cartridge for the 12 bore that is similar in characteristics to a rifle bullet, it would drop you at 100 meters no problems. One was shot at the shooting club I used to use at an old burnt out car, it went through the outer wing, inner wing, engine block then other inner wing and was stoped by the last outer wing!!

Howabout I shoot you at 20 feet with a 12 bore, you live - your money, you die its all mine. I'll open the account now.

My brown tube is available for a mere £500,000.

Lube required, though.

Mail me

LOL

LG John

Quite right, get it right up them

I'll crumble for £400k btw

fatherpierre

Bitch.

You're undercutting me.

Katana

Why do men like **** sex?

Because its:

a) tight
b) degrading to women

fatherpierre

That's giving and not taking, I assume?

I'd take it, for:

A: Money
B: Money
C: Money

Women do like it. Well, some do. Only in my exprerience, of course

LG John

LMAO @ b) Don't tell them that you fool, makes it all the harder for us to convince them

Some girls actually enjoy it you know - provided you don't slam in like you are Peter North!!

lpski1

hmm why is it that men think the worst thing they would do for cash is take it up the Gary ??? how about having 10 teeth pulled in one sitting for no reason !!

just putting the thought out there like !

boxst

lpski:

Because it's not torture. And bids from £100K please...

Once you start getting into teeth pulling, you might as well go for needles under finger nails, drilling through knee caps and slowly stretching and cutting tendons.

Steve.

LG John

Nice twist. Who'd take on brutal torture (but no permanent damage) for say 24 hours for say £2.4M??

We are talking both physical and mental torture of the nastiest kind Like watching those french frogs knock two past hearts last night to put us out of Europe
