If you were offered 3 million dollars to leave your country

[NJmaverick]

and not contact anyone again, would you take it and start over?

[HERVEPA]

1. If I couldn't talk to my kids, no. Well, no anyhow.

[Yavin4]

2. See You Later Alligator

I would do it in a heart beat, a heart beat.

[stray cat]

3. No - absolutely not

[graywarrior]

4. No.

[HopeHoops]

5. Fuck that noise!

No way.

[Iggo]

6. Yes. But I would totally cheat.

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. That was my first thought...how can I get around the clause in the contract

:D

[hippywife]

8. The first part of the offer - hell fucking yes!

The second part of the deal, not so much. :(

[Upton]

9. Yep...

[Deja Q]

10. Which country would I be going to? And under what conditions?

[NJmaverick]

11. You could pick the Country

and the conditions are laid out. You have to have a clean break from your past

[Deja Q]

13. Must say no...

I like my computer and software, and the scars of my past might become scars of the future.

[rrneck]

12. Yep. nt

[rcrush]

14. BYE

Wheres my money?

[Book Lover]

31. +1

Love your pic of Sisko, btw.

[rcrush]

32. Captain Sisko is the baddest captain ever

He went up against several hundred dominion ships by himself cause he just dont give a fuck.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Sure.

As long as I can bring my cats. None of the humans would miss me anyway.

[Flaxbee]

16. lol. was just going to ask if I could bring my cats.

And can you bring your spouse? Or does it have to be solo?

[bikebloke]

17. In a snap.

I don't have any family (washed my hands of them). And I certainly tried the big shift, without luck. Moving to another country is not as easy as moving to another state. So yeah, I'd take up the offer with New Zealand (Northland or Canterbury) as first choice. Otherwise, somewhere in Europe.

You can meet me at the airport with my money.

Ta

[azmouse]

18. No.

There is no where else I want to go.

[BlueJazz]

19. Yes...It would be an interesting experiment

[quakerboy]

20. How strict is "anyone"

If it is literally everyone, including my wife, fuck that noise, no. If I get to take my wife with me... There's a fair chance we would say yes.

But then I have crazy family who would find me. So I wouldn't have to make contact, they would show up on my doorstep, probably in not more than a year. So, that does play into my considerations as well.

[rcrush]

21. But you have 3 million dollars to hire bodyguards and keep your family out

I would build a castle and a moat to keep out family members!

[quakerboy]

27. whatever.

The crazy ones would lead the ones I like to find me. And the ones I dislike are the lazy ones or the ones too convinced of American superiority to cross the border anyway. Its a win win. Plus, half of what I would want that much money for involves family members anyway.

[Blasphemer]

22. Without a doubt

My ties to people, including family members, are tenuous at best. I don't have a husband or kids so no immediate shirking of responsibility and I'm been itching to live/travel abroad forever.

[Wapsie B]

23. Oh yes, in an instant.

Requirements: low to moderate cost of living with good percentage of single women under 45.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. No fucking way. Period.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. Yes, however

I would donate a substantial portion of the money to some sort of liberal trust fund in the US, and invest wisely so I could sustain it.

[liberaltrucker]

26. Hell yes!!!!!

No airplane needed. Toronto is only 5 hours from here by car.

I'll pick up my check in Buffalo.

:toast:

[_dynamicdems]

28. Not if I couldn't contact my family.

They are worth a bit more than 3 million dollars...actually they are priceless.

[merh]

29. Can I take the 3 million and invest it, make a profit, pay the

3 million back and keep the profit?

If so, sure, it would be a profitable vacation from everyone.

:hi:

[Saboburns]

30. Would be a dream come true

Sigh........................................
