What would you sell your morality for?

[rogoth]

perfect health for me and my family and no worries financially for me and my family from now until the end of time.

[Mayhem]

I'd take the superpower to be super intelligent and and permanent physical peak. I'd just obviously pretend to sell my morality.


WIN!

oh how moral of you, lying about selling your morality

[Cosmic Janitor]

Superpowers obviously.
Unless it were a shitty one like aquaman's, then hell no.

you should read up on aquaman, you wouldn´t say this if you knew his powers

[bayushisan]

I wouldn't sell my morality for anyone or anything. That's kind of the point of having it. Honor, integrity and principle are meaningless if you're willing to sell them out.

[Jinali]

What morality?

[Pool of the Dead]

I would do it for Immunity from said crimes and lots of money and superpowers.

[Revi]

Who am I fighting? Why am I fighting them? Is there a chance I'll be hurt myself? How long would I have to be doing this for?

[Sevyvia]

Given the phrasing of the question, I'm lead to believe that I wouldn't be under duress or pressure. These people would just approach me at random and ask me to kill for them, promising rewards in return. In that case, the answer would be no. I wouldn't sell myself.

As subjective creatures, it's far too easy for us to reason away extinguishing another individual's life. Then again, we have to abstract from it. We can't spend all day wondering what the loves, losses, dreams and imperfections of everyone we pass in the street are. When wondering about a question like this, though, we kind of have to.

[Kaq]

Make me super hero please

[Snorkles]

The power of a thousand suns, obviously.

[Stir]

Superpowers, obviously.
If I have superpowers AND no morals, what's to stop me from turning on the people attempting to coerce me into murder, murder them, and then continue on with my life as if nothing happened? Psychopaths get by as ordinary people, after all.

[Zigrifid]

For a job so i can make life again

[Rob D]

Powerful people asking others to fight for them?
That sounds a bit like the armed forces of any country, doesn't it?
I voted for "Saving a loved ones life"

[Falu]

If Immortality is under the super-natural category, I'd go with that.

[Deleted]

My morality would go for pretty cheap, but fighting (presumably) a dangerous fight against some unknown force where I could get killed or crippled for life? No thanks. The morality part is no problem, but huffing and puffing while crawling in the mud trying to kung-fu-kick aliens in the testicles sounds like a pain in the ass.
Anyway, if I couldn't get into harm, I'd throw out my 'morals' for money. Depending on the 'stuff' I have to do, between a few grand and a couple a million.

The fact that only roughly 20% of the people decided NOT to sell their morality, pretty much correlates with the decline of the quality of 99% of the posts.
Then again, who am I do set a standard for the average?

[LilSaihah]

Dignity in an empty sack is worth a sack!

[Neyze]

Basically anything on that poll, and other for legal protection, but that would have to be in combination with something else.

I think most people make the distinction between 'having morality' and 'being a moral person.'
At least that was the case for me; I can be a completely moral person without having an instinct to be moral. Purely out of reason. Most of the world's psychopaths pull it off with little effort, so why wouldn't I be able to?

The situation where your end of the deal is pretty much to kill lots of innocent people is easily circumvented by the suddenly possessed superpowers (coupled with having no incentive to keep your word). By then killing off the few people you struck a deal with, you're essentially saving thousands on innocent lives. Which, for a person who does not have any morality, but instead uses cold logic, is pretty much a 'win' situation.
As long as those people are allowed to continue making such deals, the lives of thousands of people will be forfeit. Better to stab them in the back, and end it, saving all of those innocent people.
