So, would you sell out on something you feel strongly about for a goodly bit of money? If your an artist, would you compromise a few pieces for the big bucks? If you have a strong opinion on a social issue, would you ignore it for some time if the cash was right?
Let's say it's for $100,000(US). Would you sell out?

Depends on how much I hold it to be true

But I'd say: as long as it is legal and does not cause physical deformity

(shrugs) Depends on what the scenario is. Give some examples. Until then, I abstain from voting.

Faster than the osbornes have.

There are something's I'd sell out on for 100 grand. There are others where we'd have to reach into the tens of millions if anything would do it. Once you offer me control of a country I'd do an instant 180 on most of by beliefs, what I'd want to rule and where I'd want to live are basically opposites.

$100,000 equals no student loans equals fuck principle, and make the check payable to cash, please.

So why are there no votes for Option #2?

A hundred grand thatsa lotta mulah. Although it does depend, and by that I mean depending ont eh service I provide, I may demand more. But in essence yeah, I'd take cash, becasue that's the shit that makes the world go round,

I thought gravity did.

So many fucktards cry true to themselves. I did too, the other options suck. I'd prolly sell out though. Seriously, if someone wants my artwork or characters why not make some cash on them? Really, would a publisher want to sign me on to use them? No, they want to take them from me, then get other ppl who can
A)draw better
B)write better

Hence I'd be keeping some morals that I made up, and still have no cash to pay the bills. Money is nothing but a material object, however you need it to maintain a life now a days. So I ask, how much?

I'll be honest, if someone plopped $100,000 right in my face I'd have a REAL hard time saying no to just about anything. I personally have never seen that much money all in one place and I'm willing to bet that 95% of the people here haven't either. I mean that's a lotta cash and I think I'd be too floored to say no, though there are some things I would say no to if you tossed that kind of cash in my face it would be hard.

I guess maybe I'm more of a stick to your principles kind of guy because I'm fairly certain that I don't need that lump sum of $100,000 to do well in the future.

EDIT: But I'm still uncertain what I would do and what sort of scenario is being presented, so I won't vote still.

Depends on how strongly, and how much money. And how much of a risk I'd have to take to get that money. I mean, if there was little risk to my own person for selling out my own ideals to take the money, then I'd sell out in a heartbeat.

I think that hell yes sums it up pretty well.

But it helps! Wanna new car? Heres 100 grand just sell out! Wanna new house? How about some new furiniture? TV? Computer? DVD player? A shit load of porn? A new pet (anything!)?

There is a lotta crap you can buy for $100,000 people, and I wouldn't be a sucker to pass it by, unless my service is worthmoremoney than $100,000 of course.

The fact of the matter is I have money to spend, but I don't see any reason to spend it until I move out of the house in a couple of years. The only thing I spend money on are really good video games (none of which have came out recently) and that's about it, really. If I had $100,000, it wouldn't change my lifestyle a bit. Then again, I would let my dad invest it for me in my stocks for future use as I have little use for it now. But I already have stocks that will help me in the future. So...I really don't have much need for it.

Sell out in a heartbeat, Vanilla Ice style if I had to......We may all laugh at Vanilla Ice , but hese still got millions chilling in the bank, palatial homes, kick ass cars and all the time he wants to pursue any project that tickles his fancy........meanwhile I sling milk in a fucking Wal-Mart.......someone show me where I sign.....

Here's some scenarios for you, for that 100 G's.

Would you kill somebody?

Would you fellate a man (if you're a straight man)?

Would you give up your left eye?

Would you walk into a biker bar and pick a fight with someone?

Would you walk naked around your block?

Would you fellate a man (if you're a straight man)?

FUCK NO.

Would you give up your left eye?

As long as the money I get can pay for the new one in surgery, plus a little left over.

Would you walk into a biker bar and pick a fight with someone?

If I'm dead how am I gonna spend the money?

Would you walk naked around your block?

You'd bet your toupee I would! Even if I did get arrested I'd have more than enough for bail.

Would you kill somebody?

Nay, 100,000 is to little for a proper contract killing

Would you fellate a man (if you're a straight man)?

100 G's buys a lotta mouth wash.....seriously though its just a penis, as long as its not attached to an AIDS victim or Jabba the Hut, Id live through it.

Would you give up your left eye?

No, I like stereo vision.

Would you walk into a biker bar and pick a fight with someone?

Sure, I'd just offer one of the brothers a grand to rough me up a bit and make it look convincing

Would you walk naked around your block?

Sure, ten mins of embarrassment for the funds to set up a 3,000 a month annuity....how fast do I have to loose my skivvies?

Eh, $100,000 doesn't make up for getting ass raped for the next 30 years (oh yeah, and the soul crushing guilt would be a pain, too).

Would you fellate a man (if you're a straight man)?

For $100,000, I'd gobble cock all day.

Would you give up your left eye?

No. My deepest, darkest fear is going blind.

Would you walk into a biker bar and pick a fight with someone?

"Look man, I'll give you $1000 to throw me around a bit and maybe break my nose. No broken limbs, no lost teeth, no nutshots. Deal?"

Would you walk naked around your block?

I'd walk naked around the block and stop to give those blowjobs you mentioned earlier on every corner.

Jesus, you guys must be dirt poor.

I'm not broke, but I have scoured the house before to find change for gas money.......

HEL FUCKIN NO!!! I am not a whore!!! As an aspiring writer, I would not let any of my concepts be turned to shit. I'm demanding creative control!!!

It has to be more than that. We just got 80K and burned through it in like, 2 months. Make it a million plus a Merkava MBT, and I'd sell out on just abt anything. Here's my prices:


To kill someone, a million
To let you have sex with my wife, a million
To let you have sex with me--priceless
