Current Events > The absurdly rich man and charity dilemma

(+) Yeah! (+)

You're walking along one day when suddenly someone comes up to you wearing an incredibly flashy suit and says in a posh liverpudlian accent "Excuse me young man! I'm afraod I'm in a terrible hurry, I must away to my charter flight to the UAE before I miss it and casue a diaster. Indulge an old man an honor and take this $17,500 American dollars to that charity over there down the street will you? They know who it's from. Whato pip pip."

Then before you could spell your name he's popped into the most expensive car you've ever seen in your life and driven off at frankly irresponsible speeds, leaving you literally holding the money.

You're standing in the street holding $17,500 in cash.

You can see the charity he was pointing out just down the street,

What do you do?

On topic, I'd deduct a 10% finder's fee and give the rest to charity

So he's breaking the law and speeding? I'd keep the money as hush money.

I'd give it to charity.

well its dominating the poll

Take the money to the bank, turn it all into one dollar bills, go to a restaurant, put the bills on the table and take one away every time the wait staff annoys you.

Give it to the charity
Keep it

Neither. I would tell him to do it himself. Then I would walk away.

His request would suggest that the charity is expecting the money. When they don't receive it, they place a call to Daddy Warbucks, and then he reports you to the police. But since what you did wasn't a crime, it won't matter in the slightest, since he is rich, and you are shipped off to the deepest, darkest hole on the planet to live out the rest of your life in solitude and darkness.

I'd take the money.

I don't go up to strangers and hand them money to pay my bills.

A man handles their own.

and casue a diaster

lol

Back on topic, i'd give the money to the charity. Being rich and a walking stereotype doesn't make him a horrible person, and even if it did, it certainly wouldn't mean the charity deserves to be robbed of a donation.

You're right. I only read up until the image. My mistake. *Votes for giving the money to the charity*

Never knew this was a word lol. Imagine if The Beatles had used this as their name.

---

Also, what's a presumably British man doing pronouncing honour as 'honor'? It's totally different and completely breaks immersion. TC, you're a terrible person.

---

it would be morally bankrupt to take the money, or any amount of it. I give it to the charity.

---

I'm not his bitch, but I'm not a thief either. I hand over the money to the next person I see and tell them to take it to the charity. Then I turn 360 degrees and walk away. Whato pip pip

The scenario ends with you holding the cash and him having driven away.

While I don't think he will be able to hear you, I suppose you could indeed still speak and walk off, but it raises the question of what you do with the money.

---

Donate the money.

I'd give the money to the charity but could you imagine how fast that dude would have to be moving for him to be able to give you the money, get in his car and then drive off before you could even get a simple "fuck off" out? Is he The Flash?

---

Take half and donate half. My time isn't free, kid.

Pick one.

What if the charity is a front for laundering?

I'm impressed that CE, the board that votes to kill a random person in exchange for $1 million, is voting the first option.

Wesley, let's go shopping.

I'd do anything for Wesley, tbh

what a real lad

Time is money bro

In my younger days I would've pocked it the money but these days since it wouldn't really change my lifestyle I would just give it to the charity.

Before entering this topic, I thought it was about how the more richer your are, the less value your donations are perceived.
---

I'd keep it

Charity is dominating
