After thinking about it for a while, I don't think I have a monetary value price. Having four billion dollars doesn't seem that great to me, you don't need that much to live comfortabley. I wouldn't know what to do with it. I suppose I could greatly support a charity, but, that seems hypocritical use of "dirty" money.

It's not hypocritical for someone with Utilitarian based ethics. Not that I personally do, but it's definitely a school of thought. Not much room for Utilitarianism in Chivalry, though.

There are degrees to assuming whether you get caught or not I suppose. A lot of criminals must think they can get away with it, because people still commit crimes and kill people, for money or not. The amount of jail time would be a factor for some people too.

As far as the "what would you do for money" question goes, the jail time is probably included in the considerations. "Will I do this thing and go to jail for 25 years?" And then there's the question of if you'd just go to jail for money. Like if someone offered you a million dollars to go to jail.

Is it a violent ass-rape prison or a chillax and bounce a ball at the wall prison? These are The Most Important questions.

Man, haven't you paid any attention to how the world works? Just how long do you figure you're going to stay in jail if you have that kind of cash to throw around?

How about for more than all the money in the world?

No, you'd have to have the cash before and you have to be a celebrity.

You just did something insanely immoral and, as a consequence, received tons and tons and tons of cash.

Yep, sounds like a celebrity to me.

So, everyone has a price except when it comes to killing people? I can't believe that and actually won't until someone offers someone here a few billion to do so.

It's simple as that, it's simple as that, it's simple as that for your stupid ass.

A bit, but come on!

Although I guess the other "shit no" topic would be sex. Although, a few billion to have sex can't be all bad, eh?

It's simple as that, it's simple as that, it's simple as that for your stupid ass.

Yeah I'd have sex with anyone/thing for a few billion dollars.

Plus, I could just spend a part of it on therapy.

I think everyone has a price, but the price is context sensetive.

Consider this: If you, say, get a whole shiteload of money for taking some dude out, you could offset that buy using said money to do somethng awesome. And keep the change.

I think who's asking is also very important. As with most transactions, salesmen are extremely good at making people buy things, whereas if your brother just whines to you about this or that as a favor, you're a little less likely to do.

It's simple as that, it's simple as that, it's simple as that for your stupid ass.
