Maybe an evil person, maybe a complete innocent, you never find out. You stand no chance of being caught, all you have to reckon with is your conscience.

Name your price.

bah, cut and paste

Nooo. I sometimes have scary dreams where I have to help hide a body. I wake up freaked out.

If it was a case of euthanasia and the person had very compelling reasons to ask me to kill them (so if I was hired by the victim) maaaybe, otherwise no way.

― Maria :D, Thursday, 1 March 2007 01:38 (eighteen years ago)

depends on the person

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 1 March 2007 01:53 (eighteen years ago)

ah, but that's the rub - you don't get to know who's being killed.

I was going to say "like Wu-Gambinos" but they know who's being killed

― milo z, Thursday, 1 March 2007 01:58 (eighteen years ago)

ahh, well that's different. I wouldn't do it without knowing.

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 1 March 2007 02:00 (eighteen years ago)

If you say yes, just know that someone somewhere that you don't know and have never met is being made the exact same offer.

wooooooooooooeeeeeeeeooooo

some muthafuckas, i'd do it for FREE.

― Eisbaer, Thursday, 1 March 2007 10:25 (eighteen years ago)

I can't even squash a spider, so no.

― C J, Thursday, 1 March 2007 10:26 (eighteen years ago)

If I don't know who the person is at all I preumably don't ever see them properly, so we're talking some kidn of remote kill. Yeah, the hell with it. Why not? A million Euros. I'd do it.

― Scik Mouthy, Thursday, 1 March 2007 10:29 (eighteen years ago)

I love that the deal is in Euros - gives it a not-quite-real Mighty Boosh feel.

Emphatic no from me.

― Mark C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 11:57 (eighteen years ago)

i'll have to add the caveat that it's someone that i don't know personally.

― ken c, Thursday, 1 March 2007 12:00 (eighteen years ago)

of course i wouldn't!

No. I couldn't. I couldn't possibly enjoy any amount of money if I knew it had come from that. Everything I bought would feel tainted by it. I'd probably end up giving it all away to worthy causes to try and remove the stain on my soul.

― Anna, Thursday, 1 March 2007 13:30 (eighteen years ago)

can't believe some would say yes. what if it was a wee bairn?!

― blueski, Thursday, 1 March 2007 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah but what if it was a NAZI? Or an ALIEN TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD? Think of all the lives you'd be saving while counting your lovely blood money.

(In idle and particularly morbid moments I find myself wondering if any action I have ever performed has directly contributed to a chain of event leading to someone's death, but that's a thread in itself)

it's also a film called Run Lola Run

― unfished business, Thursday, 1 March 2007 13:56 (eighteen years ago)

it depends on whether or not the consequences could ever come back to haunt me in an annoyingly ironic/preachy plot twist.

if we are talking about never hearing bout it again, and it likely not being someone i know (and like, obviously), could i live with the guilt? oh yeah, absolutely. not a second thought. i'd even do it close-up and slow.

wait, what's the conversion rate euro-barbados?
