Answer 2

Answer 4

Nope

Answer 5

I have thought about this alot. When in college I had this creepy professor that looked a lot like Stephen King and he was  a Reverend with a  Psy D.

He brought it to our attention that we are bought everyday. Everytime we go to work so we can get paid we are bought.

Everytime we go out with friend we use energy to receive fun.

And what he said about dating totally infuriated me because I am a woman. You can only imagine what he talked about what a girl would do for dinner, romance and or a movie.

But, as I have gotten older..... Perhaps he is right. Morally and ethically I believe that I would draw the line with a lot of things.

I am a counselor and I am bound by ethics to report things even in my private time with my family. If I see someone getting abused I report it. But, what if I wasn't a counselor would I do that?

Your question has a lot of merit to it because it does cost something to not do the right thing. If we see someone pick on another person, not vote, not report something that is wrong, not recycle, listen to the corporations, we are all being bought, yes?

Answer 6

YESSSSSSSSSS

Answer 7

Money can pursuade my college choice...but only because I don't want to leave with $200,000 in debt.  If I liked a couple of school equally I would pick the one with the best scholarship!  But that is the only case where I can be bought...I hope!  =D

Answer 8

Absolutely yes.!  What have you got.

Answer 9

That depends what for and how much money.

Answer 10

to save someone in my family yes.

Answer 11

No, I can not be bought, because I am to expensive ! I have to much self-pride and esteem to allow money to clutter my mind and hence my judgement.

Answer 12

With limits--I say yes, buy my soul. I would kill an unknown adult with no guilt, I would cheat on my taxes, insurance fraud? yes.  I will not hurt children, women, people I know (again-with limits) and I will not lie. So, what's the job?  Also--I am unable to hurt animals, hope that doesn't disqualify me.

Answer 13

Nope...but I'm sure for the right price, I could be tricked into thinking I was saying or doing the right thing but would turn out to be wrong in the end.

Answer 14

It depends on how bad it is and how much money we are talking about!  I wouldn't kill someone for any amount of money...

Answer 15

Yes, I am a Capatalise.

If its free, whats wrong with it.

If you want me to do something, it will cost you this much.
