We all heard the statements before , that people would do anything for money ... and i think with these past recent years of reality tv shows such as survivor and fear factor, it has proven this very fact. How fair would u go 2 obtain ur own pot of gold? What are you willing 2 do for ur very own piece of the american pie? If somebody dared you 2 walk, naked in the middle of New York city's trafic (4 a million dollars) Would u do it? If somebody dared you 2 bundgee jump off the empire state building for 2wice that amount, would u consider? If u where dead broke and desperate enough 2 compromise ur own values for a sack of money, how much would you think it'll be worth?

As 4 me ... I would push myself 2 the limits, all in the name off fun, but if I have 2 eat a plate of raw pig balls, then you better forget it. That would be worst then giving a natural head You would have hott breath 4 dayz ...

anywayz what's ur word on this?

Shit i did it for $50.

With the recent Powerball lottery, I thought about this recently:

For me, the just as, if not more important question is, what would I do with all that money? Would I be fulfilled?

And the answer is, I'd sure be able to get all the things I've ever wanted. A nice home, ride, clothes, etc.

But at the end of the day, I realize that the things I really want to get out of life cannot be bought--accomplishment and recognition as the result of work well done, respect in my field of endeavor which can only be gained through application, real love and companionship. E

Even if I had millions of dollars, I'd still have to do what I'm doing now to get those things. Sure it would be a little less stressful, but it wouldn't satisfy me.

I would sell my soul for $50... there is no such thing as a soul, so I will sell that imaginary construct as many times as I can!

:LOL:

dude, I think that is such a sad outlook

I like your song, by the way

is that really you? it sounds pretty professional

Thanks... I have been a musician for a long time... I have toured the world and made about zero dollars.

It is me playing and singing it, but it was written by Glenn Danzig and originally recorded by The Misfits.

4 million dollars! WOW! That would be my salvation! Only one could help or a half, or... I have still no home and no job! And I need very urgent a plan! Realy urgent...

but... I WOULD NOT SOLD MY SOUL FOR MONEY!

Could that be the reason why I do not get a job anymore or is it a sign of the times, we are living???

This is the ?uestion...

I agree with Ice. Got no soul, but if somebody wants to buy "it", and can describe to me how to give "it" to them, then I will happily sell "it". 4 million would be nice, but I'd accept $3.75 and get myself a latte and still be pretty pleased.

Doves,
Mel!ss

4 million? NOPE...My God gave it to me and NOT to sell. It belongs to me and IMHO it is priceless

If U would sell it for $1 or millions
it's just as bad. Also WHY U want to sell it tells a lot.

When people question their own validity
this is what happens. It's bad enough
to lose or not have faith in God, but to
have NO faith in YOURSELF is beyond repair.

To clarify, I do think that I have a self, a personal identity, and it is not possible to sell it.

What I don't have is an immaterial being-thing floating in the vicinity of my body and controlling my mind (soul). But if somebody thinks I do, and knows how I can seperate it from myself and sell it to them, I will be happy to do so, and then I will laugh and spend the fool's money.

Doves,

I have absolute faith in myself and it is absolutely NOT bad to not have faith in an imaginary god.

Ever notice the non-believers are usually MORE critical of the believers than vice verse...

Souls are so overated.If you have eternal life you don't need one.

No,not in a million years.

Hell no!!!

I would easily walk naked in New York for $4 million. I'd bundgee jump off the empire state bldg for half that. Selling my soul? I'm with Tackam and IceNine. No "soul" to sell, so I'm basically getting the money for nothing (and the chicks for free... )

But if you ask me to eat doo-doo or pig intestine or live arachnids, forget it! A girl's gotta have her standards.

a million? oh lisa...my friend thats crackhead prices


700 million you might be in the ballpark

BTW - my body neither!

Cracula said:

Cracula please! What contradiction! Eternal life without a soul? No way.

Even Dracula has a soul.

Where has a non-believer been critical of a beliver on this thread?

IceNine said:

Simply the aetheists seem to make a joke out of a belief in God, soul, etc. THAT'S
the critique.

Whereas I wouldn't say anything other than
burn your ass in hell...

Believers seem to think that it is BAD to not believe in god... THAT'S the critique I'm making.

I gotta question Ice Nine ... let's say that there is no God... would that mean that truth we all been looking for doesn't exsist either?

DigitalLisa said:

The truth is that there is no ultimate meaning to the universe and that we are the product of terrestrial mediocrity.

The truth that people have been looking for certainly will not exist if you are searching for a meaning for our place in the universe beyond our being a random occurrence.

It's not "bad" --How can U appreciate what U don't "feel"?
