I didnt vote because the amount I would charge is not in the poll. and that amount is...

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

And since NOONE on the earth could pay that. I would never kill. EVER

I would only kill under extreme circumstances. War, impending harm to my family, friends, myself, or in some cases perhaps a stranger. Money would have nothing to do with it. I doubt most of the people saying they would kill someone for money actually mean it or would have what it takes to do it in cold blood.

I wouldn't kill a stranger for any amount of money. I'd kill criminals for justice. Punisher > Batman.

It really pisses me off that people would kill a stranger but protect their own friends. That is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard. So you would kill me and devastate my wife for the rest of her life over 50-100k? Just because you could? Even if you wouldn't man up and do it, it takes a sick fuck of a disgusting human being to say they would kill a stranger for any amount of money without knowing jack shit about them. You people all deserve permanent bans for being such incredible dumbasses and the reason our society and the human race as a whole is a big piece of shit. Killing for money really exemplifies the insane stupidity in most of us.

10,000 for a stranger, i need money pretty badly right now...

Would enable me to get student loans and get out of community college. as it is my rent money runs dry in 3 months and i dont have the tuition for next semester of classes.


For a friend, im guess im not as loyal as i thought, but it would have to be a life-changing amount, like 50mil+. Then me AND my girlfriend can go to college, and actually own a place to live :)

Your wife would get over you in a few years. Such is life.

Depends on the day...

Some days people are lucky I don't own a gun. :p

Most of the time though... I doubt I could kill anyone just for the sake of killing them... now self defence would be another thing altogether.

Depends on who I'm killing and why.

For instance, I'dtake out Osama Bin Laden for free. Heck, I'd even pay to do it.

It's weird that now that I think about it, I don't think I would feel the slightest bit bad shooting him in the face, regardless of my previous post. Perhaps it's because he's gotten hyped up so much we barely consider him human anymore. Sorta like killing satan; you're killing an idea, not a person.

I can't even believe you can type something this stupid. Try working like the rest of the world instead of wanting to kill someone for an easy way out. It's disgusting to me that you can type this, even if it was a joke or sarcastic, which it doesn't appear to be. Imagine if someone killed your mom so they could buy a new car. Is that not the dumbest shit you've ever heard in your life?

Stranger - will not kill (whoever is willing to kill a stranger is an idiot).
Friend - will not kill. If you're willing to kill a friend for X amount of $...fvck...go kill yourself. Or maybe you don't have friends?

Criminal that deserves it - free (vigilante).

A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. ;)

Or according to some of you is just an enemy you haven't killed yet. :p

The USMC paid me $384/month to kill people I had never met before...and AFAIK, none of then were "criminals" either...but they were "The Enemy," so...
