Default Re: Would you play russian roulette

Just some thoughts:

Let's say it's the classical 1 in a six chance that you die. We will take the six of you together in a room. You'll have dinner. After dinner everybody gets a gun. One gun is loaded. You form a circle and simultaneously pull the trigger. You'll do that with the same enthusiasm as the classical Russian roulette?

Others have said that people constantly put their life at risk. This is true. But there is no life without risk. It belongs to being alive. By playing the Russian roulette you are making a travesty out of that. You risk your life for money.

You are not thinking this through properly. Even if you survive, you will be paying a price. Going through this will leave most of you emotionally scarred for life. You will never forget that you did this. I would even go so far that there are some considerable odds that you will commit suicide with a gun some years down the road.
