Hand over Bin Laden or 100 Million Dollars??

[BenHall 0]

I seriously can't believe any of you would even consider taking the money (according to the "rules"). That poll should have 100% for turning him in. If you're American, then there is no excuse. Of course if it's just black humor, well then go right on ahead!

First, let's get the facts straight: The US is offering $25 MILLION for the capture of OBL.

That's fine and dandy, maybe you just didn't read the part where it said this was 'hypothetical'. No one said anything about using factual amounts.

What if you are human rights activist?

lol

I voted take the money. Osama or no Osama. You know whatever he's got going on functions as it does with or without him. He is just a recent facemask America has put on "terror".

Edited to say: Nice Idea for a Poll BTW

You're right; I missed the part where you said "pretend". Sorry.

Come on man, you gotta get all patriotic to tug on those 'ole heartstrings! A human rights activist would realize that turning him in is in the interest of human rights. True he may just be a facemask now, but those extremists follow a facemask. I agree though, it is an interesting poll, you really see what people care about. But like I said earlier, if you're following the hypothetical rules of the poll, I still can't believe someone would actually choose to take the money. I mean seriously folks.

Yeah - but NO TEQUILA! I wouldn't even waste Jose Cuervo on him - that's at least good for margaritas.

Thanks!

Really, if you don't turn him in he's going to get caught anyway. Being that he's so bad off he needs to hide in your garage. But if you took the 100 mil, when he does get caught so will you. Not that you'd be able to launder 100 mil anyway.

[SpeedRacer 1]

OK, some people on this thread are being sleazy with the rules,..Ie, take the 100 million & then do something dumb etc. etc.

STICK TO THE RULES PEOPLE !

SO sticking to the rules:

I would turn him in. No question. WTF is 100 million $ if it means he gets away & it leads to even ONE additional innocent death at the hands of Al Quaeda??

HTF could you take $100 million knowing this???

can't believe people would love money so damn much.

We seem to be doing just fine with him out there. I love my freedom and my country, but 100 mil please.

[mcarchangel 0]

I know this isn't in the rules, but I'd take the money, kill him, and then hide the body. Why allow Bush to get the credit? Plus it's better for the war if he's still out there like Elvis riding the Loch Ness monster.

Turn him in, give the money to charity, no publicity.
Like some of the other posters, I would have a big of fun with him first. Can't kill him, but it sure would be fun releasing a video of him being hosed down with pig reproductive fluids while the opening song from ghost in the shell plays in the background.

[SpeedRacer 1]

You guys aren't reading the rules.

You get the 100 million & bin Laden goes free. alive.

Or you turn him in & get 5,000.

I think its really sad that we've got soldiers risking their lives & tramping through the mountains of eastern Afghanistan to get these bastards, but there are some on here who would sell out for nothing more than money. F&*king pathetic if you ask me.


Question:

If you could have turned him in & instead let bin Laden buy you out, wouldn't that be an act of treason??

Fuck turning him in, he's tresspassing in my house...simply shoot him in the head then turn him in.

He's no good to anyone dead, Dave.

Wait, lemme rephrase: he's good dead, but better alive enough to talk and then die.

Personally, I'd like to get out of this life without ever having tortured or killed anyone, so I'll leave that to the folks who pick him up and drop off my $5000.

Think they'd waive my taxes for the rest of my life too?

I'd kick his ass, take his money, then turn him in. Oh, and I'd send that personal letter of thanks back to the president and tell him to shove it up his ass. I wouldn't do it for him, and though I love my country, I wouldn't do it just to serve the USA. I would have done it for everybody whose deaths went unavenged at the hands of Bin Laden, and no other reason.

I'd also probably spend the next 20 years of my life trying to reveal the truth about what happened.

I would definitely turn him in.

On a side note, I do not see publicity as a reward. Who the hell wants all their privacy destroyed. I wouldn't want a ton of reporters camped outside my house. That life would suck.

This is kinda like the story of the guy who asks a girl if she'd go to bed with him for a million dollars. She thinks a minute and says "sure". The guy then says, "would you do it for $2?" She gets insulted and says "What do you think I am?!?" He says, "We've already determined that, I was just negotiating the price."

....with a capital P and that rhymes with T and that spells TROUBLE!!!

Damn straight. Everyone wins in this outcome.

Fuck the rules. Following them gets me killed no matter which crappy choice I make.

[weegegirl 2]

Interesting poll. Interesting results.

I would turn him the hell in. Then I would bargain with Bush... instead of the $5000, I would ask permission to kick Bin Laden in the nutz 5000 times. Damn, that would feel good.
