You're a construction worker. You've been ordered to tear down a forest to make way for a huge mall. Do you follow your orders and get paid, or do you say "-blam!- it!" and walk away?


For the sake of the hypothetical, you'll be paid $1,000,000 in cash if you do it.

To make this hypothetical more interesting...

The forest contains three types of endangered animals. You're not going to be able to save them if you choose to tear it down.

Interesting question.

I would do it. I care about forests, but I care about money way more.

You'll have other workers help you if you do it, but you're calling the shots on whether you and your team do it or not.

  • 12.01.2012 9:06 AM PDT

Do it. Why wouldn't I? If it was a rainforest I'd say no, but I deciduous forest I'd say hell yes...

In that case I'd do it.

Of course, if you didn't you'd just get fired and someone would be hired to do it.

Jobs as well. People to clean the forest down, make the ground level, build, maintain and work the mall.

More money there to help us than there is in keeping the forest.

Um, yes? We still have many forests.

  • 12.01.2012 10:23 AM PDT

How big is the forest, and is there a plan in place to replant the equivalent?

  • 12.01.2012 10:23 AM PDT

Yeah for one million.

Gather around the campfire, once it goes out, it's out for good.

If it was my employer that asked me to do this, I would do so because it is my job.

If I am my own private contractor and someone was trying to get my company to do so, I would not.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

Until I'm directly put into that situation, I don't think I would be able to answer your question.

The forest contains three types of endangered animals. You're not going to be able to save them if you choose to tear it down.

It's a hypothetical. It's not a real situation. Just answer the question, mang.
