100000 - 500000 for a stranger

$50 for a career criminal/murderer/rapist/child molester, more if it's a minor crime.

I wouldn't kill a friend for any amount of money.

If you are murdering for wealth, then you are murdering for the wrong reason. Murder is supposed to be about honor and duty, and the things that come along with it, such as wealth. :p

my heart says i would never kill anyone (not even a criminal) but i'm sure there is a selling point...
if i were to get away scott free it wouldnt take a whole lot of money. a couple million dollars could set me for life and my family. sure i would have to live with the guilt for life but my family would be better off because of it.

honestly though i dont think i could kill someone unless they were about to kill me or someone i know

I was thinking about that too. Kill a scumbag who "deserves" to die anyway, and you're financially set for life. That's a pretty tempting offer.

Ultimately though, no one who considers themselves moral in any way could take it upon themselves to execute someone in cold blood. It's not my job, and it's not my right.

One caveat of course: if they had done something to me or my family I might be pushed to make an exception. But I wouldn't be silly enough think that it was justified, even in those extenuating circumstances.

I would never kill, especially for money. But I could do it if someone hurt someone I loved, though it would be out of rage, wouldnt be premeditated or anything.

Well, I think anything over a million would do, but Im not sure how it feels to live knowing youve killed a person... so it might not be as easy

Assuming the criminal was tried, convicted, and sentenced the death penalty, I'd pay to kill em.

Perhaps you people should expand on the word criminal. We talking violent crimes, people who commit check fraud, the hippie down the street that got busted with a pot plant in his basement?

I don't think I have it in me to kill anyone unless they're trying to kill me. Even then I don't know if I could do it. Now if it was my child or my wife being threatened that's a different story.

Probably would be more about revenge than anything. Theres better ways to make money, and I think I'd feel pretty fugged up about it. I mean if I had absolute knowledge that a person was a complete waste/drain on society then sure, but just being a criminal doesn't take the cake. No on strangers, no on friends, unless it was like a life or death situation for myself already

how much did OJ spend on lawyers to get off his double murder rap?

divide that in half.

then a 25% markup.

I'd blow some one away who busted into my house no question...but I can't just murder an innocent stranger like that. I don't even think I could kill the criminal. Fuck, I feel a little bad when I murder people for the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion and they aren't even real!

I couldn't kill another person unless they put me in a "kill or be killed" position....then I wouldn't hesitate about it in the least.

So money isn't the issue.

When my friends worked at the Brentwood Plaza Pizza Hut circa 2000, there was a dishwasher named Sergio who offered to kill anyone non-government for 10 grand. This was a serious offer, not some lame joke...kinda freaked me out.
