    I was just questioning myself today and wondered how low you would go or have gone to make a few quid. I've come to the conclusion that I would have low enough morals not to fell guilty about becoming an arms dealer. A legit one of course, i'd pay tax!!

    In the past, I have also sold out of date Mycil foot powder. My secret shame.

    Did you cheer Nicolas Cage in Lord of War? How about in the beginning of the film when they follow one bullet from manufacturing all the way until it blows a child's brains out?

    Personally I'd kill people for money, happily :eek:

    Can't get lower than that.

    Pics or it didn't.... On second thoughts, no, I'll happily take your word for it

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I've sold boxer shorts over the internet for money before oh and used aftershave.

    The boxers weren't used, I bough a few 3 packs, 2 black and 1 white and sold all the whites and kept the blacks :pac:

    Quick, audition to take actor Charlton Heston's vacated presidency of the NRA! He died and they need a new spokesman for this slogan of theirs. If you get the post, they might even let you play his role in the next Planet of the Apes sequel?

    Did you cheer Nicolas Cage in Lord of War? How about in the beginning of the film when they follow one bullet from manufacturing all the way until it blows a child's brains out?

    What about the bullet that blows the brains out of a serial child rapist? That's a bullet I'd like to see used. :) Are you perchance ascribing your morals to someone else?

    We all know that many weapons will almost certainly be used to kill someone. I'd sell weapons and profit off other people's misery. No problem. Once all my paperwork was legit and I could prove I sold it all legitimately then that'd be that for me. :) If people didn't have guns to kill others they would use knifes, tree branches, rocks, whatever they could get their hands on and if not then they'd just use their hands.

    Just remember if you've ever bought any really cheap €3 handbags or tops from certain well known high-street retailers you've profited off someone else's misery, a small child in India perhaps. I guess on some days when they've been made to work until their fingers bleed, they wouldn't mind getting a bullet to the head...

    I also sold a very second hand photocopier with no paper feed tray at the Whitehouse, car boot sale.

    Useless without the paper fed tray.

    I'm going to hell.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 179 ✭✭mrDuke


    so if everything was legitimate how low would you go.

    Other than killing an innocent person i would do anything for cash :D in a different life of course.

    Oh and 50e for all the fun u want, back alley behind yohannes meats. kidding of course ;)

    I was going to QFE this post however I'd remove "once all my paperwork etc" crap :pac:

    People need to kill people, I'd happily supply the hardware if it paid for the house, pool and Ferrari.

    I'd have no problem being a porn star, escort or male prostitute if it got me an extra bit of cash.
    Of course, I would first have to vastly improve my badly toned body and general ugliness. The way I am now, such glorious oppurtunities shan't prevent themselves.

    I'm in college and seriously broke, and the thought of the easy money in prostitution appeals to me...

    or i'd drug traffic :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    Probably arms dealer or assassin but that's as far as I'd go. For instance, I'd never do a reality TV show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭wyndham


    I sold a paper feed tray for a photocopier at the Whitehouse car boot sale.
    Useless without the photocopier, but the guy who bought had a smug grin on his face.

    And, therefore, so?

    People want guns. What they do with them is of no concern of mine.

    I knew I'd find you here. :D

    Money doesn't motivate me at all.

    I used to buy and sell a lot of football memorabilia on Ebay. It was a good way to make a few quid when I was heading off travelling. One I had for sale was the 1966 World Cup Final programme. Now, an original of this you'd be talking pretty serious money but this was a 1970s reprint (these are fairly common, not dodgy, but obviously not worth much either). Probably about a fiver. I did state the fact it was the reprint but the bidding went up and up. When it reached a tenner I was pretty pleased but it didn't stop there and still had a few days to run.
    The bidders were obviously new to the game and I did seriously consider intervening, stopping the auction and telling the winner to just give me a tenner for it. But I had adventuring to do and thought 'fcuk it'. Got a hundred squids for it and never said a word. Had no comeback from it, buyer obviously happy, me very happy indeed.

    Are we talking career wise here or just general crazyness for a once off couple o quid?

    Either way I think I'd do pretty much anything for the right price.
    Im fairly morally flexible.

    I like stuff..
    Money buys stuff..

    Simple really.
