Default Re: How many people would you give up your net worth for?

I don't think 7 years of indentured servitude would be out of the question.



But I would probably give it up for my close friends/family members. It would be a tough call if I was a millionaire, and in reality you could never be "sure" you're getting the person back, so in a real life situation it's probably like 5 for me. In the perfect situation that you describe where I'm 100% positive I get the person back, like the hi-jacker has a great reputation or something, I'd probably give it up for at least 30 close friends/family members.

totally relative to the value of the person. society leads us to believe people are more valuable than they really are. all men are created equal, but we do not all die equal.

I choose my friends based on their value, doesn't everyone? Even if that value is only to me.

And I give up everything for any of my friends. Hell probably some acquaintances. What is weird is I have friends who are worth so much more I would fully expect this to be one sided.

definitely lying, else why not just give up your net worth right now? you could probably save many african children

You are the only person I've heard besides Norman Chad say "else" in lieu of "or else". I'm not sure where Chad is from, but is this a regional thing? I've lived in Missouri and Texas and people always say "or else".

Not a character assailment.

This is a silly question, because if your net if fairly low, then the person can easily pay you back quickly. Answers will vary largely depending on what each respondent is worth.

also i guess i had assumed that the person wouldn't know you had given up $X. that makes it much different.

I'm pretty sure I have a negative net worth, so I'd give it up for each and every one of you in this thread.
