Something to think about... - Page 3

Are you kidding?!

So he spent a day less than five years waisting his life, just to not get anything from it?

Lol, idiot.

**Manic** · 02-12-2008

And that's why it's fiction.

I know her well enough, and she wouldn't mess around on me while I was away.

5 years alone with 1million dollars...

she'd be gone, yo!

that doesn't make him an idiot. he learned a tough lesson. he left because money makes people shitty.

Lord_Sloth · 02-12-2008

I wouldn't bother with it and probably could not. If you put your mind to it, you can make far more than that in a few months.

Empathy · 02-12-2008

what kind of job do you have where you can make more than five million dollars in a few months?

**Vizard** · 02-12-2008

No, Sloth. That's pretty difficult. Maybe 50,000 but not 5 million.

Empathy · 02-12-2008

plus, this was written in the late 1800's. therefore, no one was making anywhere close to that in a lifetime, let alone five years.

Banker.

I read the story you got this idea from today. He got wine and cigarettes. Would we be provided the same? Because I could do that no problemo. Although, I'd be an alcoholic and in horrible health when I got out.

**JAIF** · 02-12-2008

I could not do that. No, I would not want to do that. Any amount of money is not worth losing all forms of human communication for such a long period of time.

If I had to do that, for example, in case someone close to me needed the money and it was a matter of life and death, then I would do that, since it's logically possible, and I do not believe in impossibility, beside those things that defy logic.

**Crayne** · 02-12-2008

I would give it a try. I would try to learn how to play a guitar properly - that would be one way to spend time. Maybe write something random down every day, a diary of sorts. And since I don't have to worry about food and drink, I am in no life-threatening situation...

But if we look at it realistically, I wouldn't make it. I'd go mad or become Gollum, or both. That is, if there is no possibility of going outside. If I can go outside at any given moment... well, I guess I would go out eventually. I'd give myself 6 months as the time I'd most likely spend there in maximum.

Pan The Mighty · 02-13-2008

Would it have to be 5 million dollars? I would do it if I could get something that had value to it. Living in solitude for me wouldn't be hard at all I pretty much do it now Just give me some coheed and cambria and King Arthur and i'm all set =)

**Vizard** · 02-13-2008

Like I said, if the room had: 1.Books 2.Pencils 3.Weed 4.Food I would do it.

Empathy · 02-13-2008

I don't think any of you could do it, quite frankly. I know I couldn't.
