Would You Give Up The Internet For 1 Million Dollars?

[Zatch]

How much would someone have to pay you to give up the internet?

How capitalism makes us all richer than we realize.

 

[Travlyr]

Hell yeah, man! Laissez-faire free-market capitalism using honest sound money FTW!

 

[JoshLowry]

Apple is highlighted as the way to access the internet... pretty heavily. They even have the college professor holding one giving you a price.

 

[Vessol]

Those evil capitalists...lowering their prices and developing new technologies to voluntarily attract customers...! How dare they!

Oh and I guess to answer the thread title, no I would not.

A few reasons why:

1) Federal Reserve Notes are not stable to hold onto.
2) I really don't care for money that much.
3) The Internet is my bridge to sane and rational people. It allows me to communicate with so many people I otherwise would've never met. It lets me learn so many amazing and great things. The internet truly is the best invention IMO. Just simply because of communication and learning.

Well, for me I could do without it for about 250k.. Any takers...?

I think, as the video put it, we need make a mutually beneficial exchange.

In other words, prove that it's worth $250k to me to get you off of the internet. How big of an ass can you be?

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Hmm... I'd have to say a lifetime of being allowed to access the internet is worth more than 1 million, to me at least.
I would consider permanently giving up internet for maybe $3 million.

I'd do it if someone will buy my house for simply what I paid 2 yrs ago.

I wouldn't give it up for any amt of cash. Once a kid offered me $500 for one of my dogs. I told him you don't have enough money to buy him. You could offer me $5, $10, $500 million etc and I wouldn't sell him to you. He didn't understand.

Would I give up the interwebz for 1 million? Absolutely. In a heartbeat. I would finally be able to build a generator for my cabin in the woods and spend my time fishing, hunting, gathering, chopping wood, reading, writing .. Well, I spend a lot of time doing that already, but after that I'd be able to get out of the Babylon for good.

 

[TheViper]

Brilliant question. I would not give up the Internet for life for $1 million if I had a guarantee that it would remain as an open, independent entity.

Without the internet, how would we donate to Ron Paul?

 

[Carehn]

This is wonderful

Send him a check.

In answer the to the OP, yes I would give up internet for 1 million dollars. I managed to get by w/o internet until I first got it in my teenage years and I could get by without it even better with a million dollars in my pocket.

 

[brushfire]

Seriously, 1 Million? What are you, Dr Evil? LOL

7 very large aint what it used to be... Its been quantitatively eased out the arse of the fed.

Without the internet, how would anyone KNOW about Dr. Paul?

Give me 20 million and I will just hire me a personal internet surfer to post my thoughts on RPF
