Question #101 from "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D.
An eccentric millionaire offers to donate $500,000 to a charity of your choice if you will step .... completely naked .... from a car onto a busy downtown street in your area, walk four blocks, and climb back into the car. (There is no danger of physical abuse.)
Would you do it??

If the charity can be me and my family, then yes I will do it. I will also have someone run ahead of me warning the populace of the coming danger.
And most of my students would respond ... "if they gave the money to ME I would do it!!"
Heck, me too, for that matter.
For charity? As long as I was absolutely sure that the charity uses it's money the way it is meant to be used, I would probably do it. Also ... as long as I could explain to reporters later the reason I was doing such a thing!
I would be mortified, and I would definitely speed walk, but yes, I would do it. I would just keep thinking of the kids I was helping.
No. And for a variety of reasons. One, a gift to charity should come as a gift from the heart, not as a means of someone to hold power over another. Two, I could not be held responsible for all the injuries when all those cars wrecked...
Yes I would, If I knew for sure it would go to helping people. What charity? I would want to split it up myself and help a few battered women get started over than see it spread so thin it wouldn't hep anyone.
Nope! I would try to convince that "eccentric" millionaire to donate the money to a charity out of the "goodness" of his heart and then seek pshchological help!(or perhaps find out where that famous photographer who photograhs nudes on busy streets is planning his next shooT! LOL)
Heck no, well unless the charity is me so I could quit this dang job!!!
No, Charitable Acts should not have conditions. They should come from the heart or not at all. One condition leads to many conditions.
The crazy old person is senile and wants a last look and see. LOL
This would be a definite form of abuse.
NO
Um, no, not even if I were the charity. I can't even walk from the shower to the closet naked!
I couldn't and wouldn't do it for ANY amount of money...
Now if I could volunteer someone else.......!!!
I would do it for the local humane society. I would be ebarased beyond belief but I would do it. I'd do it for the American Diabetes assoc. too.
