He had a big debate over this at work and to me there are just some things no amount of money would get me to do if it went totally against my personal morals and beliefs. How far do you think you could go if somone offered you a this kind of money to compromise yourself in the worst way, could you stand to look at yourself aftwards, would this kind of money be worth it to you to compromise everything??? Give me an example of how far you'd go to get this money? 10 pts to best answer!

No. I just need look at the list of the worlds most wealthy people and read the headlines to know that money does not buy you the essential ingredient for happiness, integrity does though and fortunately it is not quantifiable...hoi polloi's like me can posses it. Self-compromise is a double edged sword and leaves you forever watching your back with the knowledge that you turned a blind eye when you shouldn't have. Bound to leave a bitter taste in your mouth no amount of money can wash off!

I probably would. I have a few very strong opinions, some firm ones, and many others that are unformed. But in all cases, there isn't a single thing that I would honestly be able to say "I'd never ____."
Take the example of that movie with Demi and Redford. Would I cheat on my husband? No, I feel strongly about that. But if that situation, unlikely as it is, were to come up, I would at LEAST discuss it with him. I wouldn't say "get thee behind me rich satan!" Chances are we'd turn it down, but it would be discussed.
The one thing I'm fairly confident saying is that I probably wouldn't do anything embarrassing for money - even that much. But this is hard to answer - it's so very very unlikely to come up that I just can't visualize being faced with the option of getting $100 mil for parading around naked at work.

Wow thats alot of money and I would be lying if I said I wouldn't. Honestly it would depend on the situation and what would take to get it.
I would never kill anyone or anything of that nature..but having an affair or lying maybe.
If I could help people,especially my family and friends with this money..then I most likely would.
But there are just somethings that would not be worth it.

Yes, for $100 million I would do almost anything as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. If you mean sexually, well my answer is still yes, bring it on. I could do a lot of good for my family and friends with that amount of money. Including mental help for me depending on what I have to do.

I would hope I could say no to the temptation of just taking the money but no doubt it would be hard. I have too many beliefs, morals, and love for myself to compromise for so little as money. Who I am is not defined from such worldly possesions. To thy onself be true. :-)

Wow, I can't believe the "yes" answers. My answer is NO. I honestly wouldn't even compromise for $5. Money does not buy happiness.

What comparison is there between money and eternal life?? To intentionally sin for money doesn't really merit grace and forgiveness. Nothing would be worth the risk of separation from my Heavenly Father.

NO cause if you compromise your never had morals and beliefs in the first place or they were not that strong.

How much compromising are we talking about? $100 million buys a lot of therapy...

No because if I did I would have no morals in the first place
