No amount of money would be worth the torture I would put myself through, I have a conscious.

It's an easy question to answer. If you kill someone and it has no repercussions against you now, you're thinking in very short sighted terms. Say someone did that ages ago. They wouldn't killed Albert Einstein to acquire his riches. Then you're looking at a person who just destroyed the nuclear era as we know it. Everyone (no matter how insignificant) will eventually alter the course of history, though history only credits those in power.

In what degree would my happiness for the material gain would bring me up to a certain level, if my conscience will drag me down due to guilt and shame?
i would rather live in poverty(a way of living that is easily adaptable over the course of time) than gain his richness.

I would not be able to do that because he or she is most likely innocent and a member of someones family. I wouldn't appreciate someone taking someone I love so I could not do the same for any amount of money.

it would be much more fun to be a hit man for the irish government. i could kill people with a high powered rifle from a rooftop, and the people i would be killing would be government prics anyhow so who cares? nobody loves those spoonfed government p#ssies anyway.
just kidding ofcourse. not really though! well, im half kidding.

Nope, couldn't do it. I probably wouldn't be happy with his things anyhow. I wouldn't be able to enjoy his things because I'd be feeling way too guilty about the way I got them. Only way I could kill someone is if they were going to do one of my kids harm or molest them or something

Wow! That's really tough to answer. No, I wouldn't take the money. Imagine if it were one of your relatives being killed, so no.

I could not kill another human being especially for money.
