Thread: Philosophical Poll: The Pain Experiment

    Nope, $1,000 just ain't worth it. $100,000+ maybe, but it'd have to be at least 6 figures for me to consider it.

    Put me down in the "Big Ol' Girl" column. (Which I'm totally cool with, being a big ol' girl, and all... )

    Most intense pain ever...no. Not because I'm a wuss, but because that kind of pain can cause severe problems that could lead to death prior to taking this magical pill. If we were talking about something like waterboarding, I would do it for the cash, though I would break in like 12 seconds, and there would be no need for an hour. If we are having a conversation where, hypothetically, there was no chance of going into shock, etc, and literally NO risk of any long-term damage or death, then I would definitely do it.

    It should also be stated that the POSSIBILITY of this pain for an hour is much worse than the actual pain for an hour.

    Tell us more about your impromptu family gatherings, Todd.




    No, wait, I take it back, don't tell us anything.

    Already done, wouldn't do it again. And, obviously, the pill only worked so-so.

    Not for that little money, and not if I couldn't remember it. Add another 4 or 5 zeros and I'd think about it.
