Moral Conundrum

[lleeder]

You find out your child has a talent or ability that will make them instantly well known and you extremely wealthy. Do you expose it to the world risking possibly ruining their childhood and life for the fame and cash? Do you hide it and let them live a normal life?

[bigtim666]

expose away

[Aggie]

I'd probably hide it unless they were the ones that kept pushing it. I wouldn't want that life and therefore wouldn't want it for my children. I think it's really rare that someone with fame and fortune turns out to be a decent, grounded human being.

I'm confused by your poll options. They seem the same.

Yeah they really are whoops. I guess the second one should be "hide it".

Agreed.

These poll options suck.


I do have a child with special talents, but I choose to let him live a normal life. If he wants to pursue fame and fortune when he is an adult, more power to him.

This baby is a week old. What talents could she possibly have?

Like I'm telling you. Get away from her Rumpelstiltskin.

[hammersavage]

stinkiest doodies is not a talent.

[Furtherman]

I'm still trying to figure out how to exploit hammersavage.

[lleeder]

stinkiest doodies is not a talent.

Then I better rework my business model.

[hammersavage]

Don't put me in a cage. I will throw my feces.

[RoseBlood]

Is that what they told you at "show and tell"?

Unless you planned on caging me, it won't be a problem so don't worry.

Whore him out to the greatest of my ability, while reaping the financial benefits of being his agent/manager.
Then sit back and watch his steady decline into depravity and substance abuse. (In between meetings with my accountants and attorneys)

[TheMojoPin]

Yeah, like you only do that if locked in a cage. Nice try.

[mikeyboy]

I'm having a hard time getting past the whole idea of a child coming from lleeder's gene pool having any kind of special talents.

This is why I can't let her join here. Don't cry sweetie he didn't mean it. :glurps:

[SatCam]

Id kill the child and blame the murder on a small foreign faction.

[TheGameHHH]

I have no problem exposing the gift my kid would have.

[britneypablo]

<font color="deeppink">this is ridiculous, of course make the money, buy a childhood later....

if its YOUR kid you can pull them out of it at anytime u you and put them back into a pretty normal life....move to the country if it doesnt work out...thats where the best childhoods happen

[STC-Dub]

I have a child?!

[cougarjake13]

if theyre old enough i'd let them decide


before that i'd prob keep them hidden til they were old enough
