'Everyone has a price by which they can be purchased'-do you agree.

Price doesn't always mean money sometimes it's the limits which enforce us to be purchased and so long as you tie people within their limits,you've successfully bought him.Take for instance, a father would go to any lengths to save his sole child or protect

Yep, everyone does. The poor fools who think they are non purchasable are the easiest to acquire, I think. My price would be high, according to the action you are purchasing me for.

definitely. i can't think of an instance where a person with values cannot be 'bought'.

Side: Yupe,I do

Any person can be bought when he's pushed deep into personal jeopardy,obligations is the rootword which bars people to fight till the end,nobody's so strong to put his values before his or someone close to him's life

Side: Yupe,I do

I think everyone does. I know the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase, made that claim.

I disagree and there are some who cannot be bought. There is evidence that people have died under torture rather than give up the information they were being forced to reveal.

They paid the ultimate price for not being purchased.

Well when you say people die under torture that's very rare,ask the people of Iraq this question and see how many want to die under torture.People put their lives first then anything else,ask a bank manager if he would relinquish 20,000US$ to save the life of his wife,he is bound to say yes.People and their lives and that's the price they are not willing to pay

If it is rare, that means it does happen, which means that not everyone has a price.

:P

I don't think that being able to resist torture necessarily means that one cannot be bought- remember, everyone has a different value system, and a given person may well consider (for a number of reasons) resisting torture to be more valuable than the 'payment' of ending the torture. The same person who resists torture may well fall to seduction, or offers of wealth, land, power, or by threats directed not to themselves but to their friends or family.

I believe that everyone does have a price, but it's not just the actual 'price' that matters, but also the form of 'currency' used to pay that 'price.'

Side: Yupe,I do

While the overwhelming majority of people do, there will always be fanatics who hold so true to their cause, for good or bad, that nothing will sway them, be it positive or negative reinforcement.
