Posted by: Sinisa Cekic Dec 26 2011, 11:44 PM

Before you answer honestly, look at this video please ... laugh.gif



So ???

I don't think I could give up the internet. It is such a help to me. Without it, I would not be playing guitar.
Money is money. Never would be satisified. At least the internet is constantly changing.

But then I wouldn't have GMC! ohmy.gif

A very interesting video, although I don't agree with many statements in there.

As for giving up on internet... I would have to see the actual million dollars on a case in front of me to know the answer laugh.gif

I make a living from the internet. I cannot even imagine what to do without it. That question takes away my basic needs. A million dollar is not enough.

Capitalist propaganda.

Nope, I wouldn't biggrin.gif I also make a living out of the internet so, I guess I would have the possibility of investing the million bucks and making them create more money, but i would lose valuable connections and means of connecting without the internet, so it's out of the question!

That would be awesome, but how would you spread your name around? You killed off the internet. laugh.gif

600,000 , that's my price,and you would never see me again,except if I ran into cris while I was vacationing in Switzerland and we took a picture
right now,in this economy,I could take that 600 large, retire and by the time I was 60 have an easy million

The concept is abstract to me. The internet is a huge part of technological, social, and economic progression. I wish to be a part of it as long as I am alive, I do not wish to push myself backwards, I want to move forwards. Whilst this may be extreme for the internet, next they will as me if I will take a million dollars to give up living with power and water.

I don't need excessive things to make happy, I wont lie, money makes me VERY happy. But you know how much? $500. If I had that right now I would be the happiest man in the world. smile.gif

A million doesn't go as far as it used to these days. It would have to be a few billion.

Posted by: Sensible Jones Dec 28 2011, 04:04 PM

I remember what life was like before the Intrawebs!!!! sad.gif

I'd buy CNN & MTV stocks wink.gif

Posted by: Alex Feather Dec 29 2011, 10:23 AM

A lot of my work is comming from the Internet but I will give it up for a couple of billions:) and will socialize with people the real way like it use to be! If you think about it there are places in the world that don't have Internet and even electricity! They are surviving and enjoying their lives so it's possible!!!

I once read about a valley in the Himalayan mountains where people's life expectancy easily reaches 120 years smile.gif they live on what they produce (farming and harvesting natural goods) no internet ever happened to their world so, I guess you can make a living without the internet.


Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Dec 29 2011, 03:55 PM

What exactly means "without internet" I must ask here? Because, I was thinking, and I believe with couple of billions, I could pay people to put my videos on Youtube, right? laugh.gif

Posted by: Todd Simpson Dec 29 2011, 09:30 PM

Could I pay someone to read GMC posts to me? And to post for me? If so, hand me that Million! smile.gif

hmm 10 million, I would buy all gmc instructors a house in my street ( and a lifesupply of donuts for Ben). So I can come round them everyday to learn something.
I would buy a rediculous expensive guitar and will pay famous guitarists to learn me guitar. I make sure that I have a bunker in my yard for 2012 and a steaming hot jacuzzi ohmy.gif
