I will pay you 2 million dollars a year...

[Pimppeter2]

Sure, Kids will smoke anyway. I dont believe ads make the difference.

 

[Satin6T]

well it's gonna happen anyway, might as well be me cashing in

 

[TailsRodrigez]

i would punch whoever asked me to do such a thing in the face.

 

[T 980]

Yes. That amount of money? Hell yea! It's hard to feel bad for kids who feel that they have to be cool by killing themselves like that. I hung out with just about every crowd you can think of (minus cowboys and goths) and I didn't even drink. Therefore, I want my slice of the pie.

 

[Vuljatar]

if you are willing to run an advertising campaign aimed at kids for cigarrettes. One out of every ten kids that see any of these advertisements will end up becoming addicted. Subsequently, they will die due because of their habits.

Are you willing to take the job? Why or why not?

(This is purely hypothetical, I'm just curious as to how many people would actually take money over lives of their fellow men/women)

Interesting replies so far...

Assuming your numbers on the addiction and fatality rate were accurate, I probably wouldn't. With realistic numbers, I definitely would.

But how about this

You will be paid $125,000 dollars a year (without taxes and all that fun stuff that would bring it down to probably about 100,000), would you still do it?

Same answer.

It's too complicated. Ask me if I would kill these kids with my bare hands for the money, and then I'd have an answer for you.

 

[pwnzerstick]

Well maybe for 175,000... JK

 

[LeonLethality]

Well anything for population control that gets the traffic moving, and if I make money off of it that's even better! (Yes I am a soulless monster but hey I would be the one happy with these kids gone and money in my pocket.)

It's too complicated. Ask me if I would kill these kids with my bare hands for the money, and then I'd have an answer for you.

what is that answer?

 

[[Gavo]]

Done deal. It's hard as hell for (most) kids to get cigarettes. Especially if we're talking pre-teens.

 

[Mcface]

hell yeah.
I never bought into the advertising, no excuse for anyone else.

everyone is able to make their own decisions, and if it kills kids, shit, natural selection my friends.

"THIS MAN WITH THE COOL VOICE IS TELLING ME TO SMOKE, I AM SO GOING TO"
the human race is better off without someone that easily manipulated.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Yeah, sure. If a person is stupid enough to smoke, then go right ahead. Please, we don't need that person, and I make some money.

 

[Azraellod]

Happily.

There is no problem in my opinion with smoking. Besides, kids smoke anyway. I doubt it'll make much difference.

And even if I didn't like smoking, I hate children. Light up, young ones.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Hell yeah I would do it for 2 million. We've got a pretty big population, I could thin it out a bit for 2 million a year. If they live their life a certain way because an advertisement told them to it's their own damn fault. I see it as a stupid filter. 125k a year, ....eh maybe. It would get me out of college i guess.

 

[Deadpoolsbrain]

Sure, I don't really care. If your dumb enough to smoke because of a commercial I say have fun.

 

[sanguis3k]

lets see overpopulation is meant to be a big issue and 99% of the world i dont particularly care about since the normal human emotion towards those not of your family friends etc and 2 million per year is the sort of money you normally get for illegal activites i would do it in a heartbeat

 

[Glerken]

I don't think I could ever do that and still live with myself.

And I don't really see the appeal in two million dollars a year. I just don't get how someone could put money against someones life...

But then again... if you're swayed by an advertisement...

 

[Skeleon]

I'd do it for one year and then stop.
