Poll of the Day > 5 thousand dollars or every human on earth gets one 8 oz glass of fresh water

(+) Yeah! (+)

You might not think one glass of fresh water would mean much, but think of people out there who could live for a few more days thanks to you.

but then again money.

I say fuck it and choose the fresh water. but we wont judge. if you need the cash go ahead.

you also do not personally deliver the water to every person just imagine poof everybody has a glass to drink in their hand. eight ounces of fresh h20.

8oz's isn't very much

like it's a very miniscule amount of water, honestly.

that amount isn't going to prolong anyones life. if someones life could be prolonged by drinking water, that amount of water would torture them because it wouldn't do anything but make their suffering worse

Can I buy 64billion ounces of water for $5000?

Because I enjoy a world where I have more than most and can take advantage of those less fortunate.

So a week later everyone you temporarily saved is back to their old problems(if not dead) because I decided to pass up $5000?

You're not even "saving" them.

Money, easily.

i'll take the dollars plz

bro even if you're talking about $250 i'll take the dollars 8oz of water is like nothing i could piss out 8 ounces
---

Money. We're 70% water so 8oz is nothing.

Take the money and donate it, maybe to an organization that provides clean drinking water. Pretty sure I'd be able to make a bigger difference that way, compared to randomly giving every single person on Earth a tiny amount of water.

if I could legitimately help people live a little longer, the water for everyone easy.

Maybe I underestimated the effect of 8 oz of fresh clean water.

Dont even think about the children of africa for a minute, think of all the americans who dont need water but simply have a parched throat at the moment you decline five thousands dollars.

oh, the relief it would be!!

Well, i voted on the premise that 64billion oz of water costs more than $5000

I bet you'd kill at least a few people by giving them a glass of water. Distracting them while they were driving, or having it appear in a surgeon's hand at a critical moment and oops he just made the wrong move and now his patient is dead.

I'd take the money, but that's more because I could really use $5k than for the above reason.

We're all water, Steve!

Money. I want my people to do well (the west - not a race thing) and don't really care about the rest. Aside from which, that water won't stop anyone in dire need from dying anyway, but $5k would be great for me.
---

I'd take the $5k cause people don't crave water, they crave electrolytes.
---

$5000. I don't care about most people. The few that do matter in my life can supply themselves with a cup of water.

This is a really good point. OP was unclear, taking the money.

Isn't everything in Africa naturally just starving to death at any given time?

I'd turn down the $5000 because it would feel selfish but
---

So if I take the cash 5000 people die? I'm good for 100k loan or so....
