Would you do a gun game to win millions?

Mattie G Indahouse · July 14, 2015, 05:37:28 AM

Lets say you get accepted to be on a game show and you go down to the building where it's at. You walk into a room and you see two tables where one has a single gun and the other has many. Table one has twelve 9mms in a line and only one has a bullet in it. If you pickup up one, put it against you head and survive you win 5million. Table two has a revolver on it and if you survive you win 10million. If you do participate you can only do one of the two tables and if you win you get to keep the money from the one with with no tax at all.

Honestly I would do table two due to the larger payout. Yes my chances of wining are lower but like I said the payout is greater. The way I see it is that you can either go on with the rest of your life loaded or you can end up dying instantly and you wouldn't know it since you go into nothingness.

I'd wonder why the OP thought this thread was suitable for Serious.

I figured it belongs here due to it being a serious question and since you brought it up why did you think this thread was suitable for Serious?

Because gender-related threads belong here, as per the rules.

Was it even supposed to be a serious thread though? Looking at the posts by challengerX in it the thread looks like it was a joke.

What exactly is wrong with my thread, other than you grasping at straws to try and turn the tables because you're butthurt that your thread doesn't belong here?

I wouldn't say I'm grasping at straws when your whole thread went from maybe being a serious topic at first to a joke withing your first reply which just took off from there.

It was a thread on gender. Pretty serious topic.

A decent amount of your replies in it say otherwise.

Obviously the mods agree, which is why they didn't move it.

Ecept they did move it...

Your thread, however, has about as much capacity for intellectual discussion as a room full of retards on heroin does.

That room full of retards must have went over to your thread then since that's what it turned into from that start.

Because the people posting in my thread were acting retarded so I stopped taking it seriously.
Because I didn't feel like taking it seriously anymore.
"Except" that was after people had stopped replying and I stopped taking it seriously.

I take it the moment after you submitted the thread that was when you stopped taking it seriously since your first reply in it was a joke?

As is being established currently, this thread has absolutely no place here.

OT:
No, I wouldn't risk the chance of death for any sum of money, because I'm not absolutely insane.

Oh I'm sorry master, I didn't know I couldn't make joke posts in Serious if somebody's joking with me.

I'm not saying you can't make jokes in a thread but the thing just turned into a joke the moment it was posted. As soon as you did have a serious discussion with someone that quickly died and you started swearing and throwing insults at Sandtrap and Luciana. It's as if you got mad and gave up on the thread becasue they were countering you and asked you for vidence, not because people were treating the thread like a joke.

Verbatim · July 14, 2015, 07:35:53 AM

This ain't even a moral dilemma, it's just... silly.

I guess if you were to force me to play the game, the obvious choice would have to be the table with more guns that don't have any bullets in them. Because I'd have a much higher chance of survival. An extra five million dollars is really not big enough compensation--it would have to be more like a billion dollars.

Even then, can the human brain even comprehend the difference between five million dollars and a billion dollars? With five million dollars, you'd be set for life, if you were smart about it. If you were a billionaire, you probably wouldn't even spend half of it in your lifetime.

But let's not even bother with the tiny differences between five million dollars and ten million dollars. There's nothing you can't buy with a five million dollar bank account. What's 10 gonna do for you?

so yeah, this is just plain silly

i wouldn't be analyzing the situation as critically as i am if you didn't honestly believe this belonged in serious

SecondClass · July 14, 2015, 07:37:32 AM

I'd go with the 1/12 chance.

Because Sandtrap's walls of text that literally say nothing and Luciana who backs out of an argument as soon as you prove her wrong aren't meant to be taken seriously.

Like I said, it needed five moved eventually. Yours never belonged in Serious.

Sandtraps posts were about you saying women fuck each other over with petty shit like by having sex with the other girls husband for revenge. So his posts were about two guys killing each other over petty like like a drink. Yes one was violent but having a fight over some as petty as a drink is about the same as getting revenge with someone by having sex with that persons whatever. For Luciana she never backed out she simply asked you to provide evidence.

DAS B00T x2 · July 14, 2015, 07:46:26 AM

Second table sounds better. I mean, no matter what, you'll either win or you'll get shot, 50/50.

Oh, if I get a bullet but survive do I still win?

Bullets will either kill you or they won't, 50/50.

eh the excitement of what i could do with 5 million is more worth to me than freedom from existence

Yes I'd do the 5 million dollar one right now
