"Everyone Has A Price"?

[Ginkgo]

Agree or disagree?

 

[93JC]

Disagree. Some people, people who have nothing to lose, can't be bought.

 

[Lady_X]

I think I disagree.... I mean there are things I would never do regardless.

 

[Rasofy]

Yes, though not always a monetary price.

My answer was going to be agree...but ...that is a pretty unstoppable person

One that has nothing to lose, that is...

People who have nothing to lose have everything to gain, so theyre the easiest to be bought.

I considered that, but I think if you truly have nothing to lose threats become empty and there comes a point where money means nothing to you.

 

[ndovjtjcaqidthi]

You bet everyone does.

 

[five sounds]

Not enough context.

Maybe an unhealthy, broken down person would find themselves in a situation doing something they normally wouldn't for a reward. Like an addict or someone who is desperate for their life or is paranoid and delusional.

why do i find this interesting? Lol


Yea i guess it can go both ways...

But the answer is still disagree..cause even if theres just one person that cant be bought because they have nothing to lose it voids the argument.

 

[PimpinMcBoltage]

Disagree. Quantifying sentient beings with a price tag is dehumanizing and implies that one's worth is tied together with their salary.

So no, it's a disgusting concept.

To do what? Humiliate yourself on national television? Murder a child?

I would say that I definitely have a price on the former (If it helps me retire comfortably 10 years earlier, of course I'd do it), and do not on the latter. I suspect most people feel the same way -- it depends on what you ask them to do.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Agree or disagree?

Everyone has a price... period.

 

[highlander]

Maybe 90% of the population has a price. I think there are those who do not.

The price need not be monetary.

I can't think of anything I wouldn't do to keep my family from being murdered.

What if you don't have a family?

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

What if you don't have a family?

People tend to do what the person torturing them asks for.

They also probably have friends, a girl or boyfriend etc.

It would depend on the situation and the person. Money is not all there is for 'price', as has been mentioned. If the price is friends and family being hurt that makes it much murkier indeed.. what if it is a person that 'has nothing to lose' but must do something or innocent people are killed... I think there's always some level to lose but it would depend on the skill of the manipulator as to how the game went down.

 

[Azure Flame]

Depends what the situation is. Will I rejoin the military as a fighter pilot for $200,000? I'd rather die.
