Following Rust's post (above), we're adding a little rule to the competition:

Trying to brown-nose Orange in order to get the tickets is not allowed! :D

Good luck to all!

And personally, if I had a million dollars, I'd stop work and sleep all day. Good thing I don't have the money I guess...

That is a no brainer question. Give half it to Bernie Madof. He'll turn it into 10 million. Invest the other half in stocks of GM. Such a big company will never go bust, right? Right?

I live in Geneva, so if I do get the tickets, I will give them to the first person from Zurich who writes to me.

pink_bunny:

You made me smile...:) And I bet if you had any money leftover, you'd invest it in Enron and in Swissair...;)

Just a million? Come on! You can't even buy a Bugatti with that kind of money!



Can we increase the amount we (don't) have to at least five million? Petrol is expensive you know!!

I'd work only 3 days a week, mon, wed & fri so that every workday is followed by at least one day off to sleep late, go kayaking or hiking or veg-out watching tv.  I'd go away to a new country every summer vacation to experience life in new ways.:P

I would clone Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley into a single person so you would have the king of POP and Rock n roll but maybe i have already done so.......

I would hide it in my mattress then padlock my bedroom door so none of my kids would try to do me a "favor" and buy me a new mattress - you never know when your mattress might end up in the dump!  check it out - http://www.whas11.com/justposted/stories/whas11-topstories-090610-million-mattress.6a15acf3.html

Only one Million? Ask me what Id do with a 100 Million..

Id rent out a cinema and invite the people on the forum to a popcorn party.:hehe:
Danny_S, Jul 30, 2009 @ 18:23

don't ask 'only one million?' come on one million is plenty, I'd settle for a thousand and a couple more free cinema tickets. I had tickets for Burn After Reading but I got majorly sick and had to give them away :-( what would I do with one million? I'd get the hell outta here before I blew the whole lot on booze and shoes and do some kind of humanitarian work.

Geeta.a, Aug 3, 2009 @ 17:18

Geeta: you answered thr wrong question! The question this time is 'what would you do with a million dollars'...
Nir Ofek, Aug 3, 2009 @ 17:24

Hmmn..it's that easy.



I would try to help my people in India. Give them good education and knowledge. It is hard but possible :-)
Geeta.a, Aug 3, 2009 @ 17:42

Geeta.a, Aug 3, 2009 @ 17:43

Well...my post is not funny or amusing or creative...



Its based on reality...



I was born in the slums of Mumbai and I see myself in that movie (only difference is that I am not a millionaire :-D )



I started a computer school in a small village in India in Oct 2004 and January 2008, started a kindergarten in the same village.

At the moment, these institutions are run on a rooftop of someone's house (which was once used to store firewood!)



This year, I bought a piece of land and want to build a school there...with BIG future plans!



so if I win a Million, I would right away start building the school there!!! I know its boring and doubt if this would get me those tickets...but no harm in trying..INNIT??



Want to know more about the school? Feel free to write me...



Cheers

i hope you actually hand out the tickets this time



as for ehaasan



a million dollars are not going to change the social system



nor will a few computers



a friend of mine made the comment that actually people who live in remote villages



might actually lead a more quality life than those who feel forced to chase the buck



constantly



progress may not be all about getting the degrees and cars but may be in a social



system where people care about eachother



if someone really is invested in promoting a cause they should spend their time



promoting it ,



anyways the rote fabrik offers a film tomorrow night about people who go out to



the third world countries and do something about it



called " invisibles" by wim wenders but i suppose



dinner parties attract more crowds



cket sponsorsis neverbad)

Sigal,

You are right...a million dollars can NOT change the social system...nor can a few computers...

but if this money is used in the right direction, it can change lives!!

And believe me so far even with just a few thousand dollars, a lot of lives have been changed!



Indeed, they do lead a better quality of life, but they also have the right to know how advanced the world is and what we humans have managed to do!



As far as promoting something is concerned, it should be done at the right time and with the right resources...



And just because people do not talk about the good things they do, does not mean they don't do it...



I INVITE YOU TO COME ALONG WITH ME AND HELP THESE PEOPLE FROM THE "THIRD WORLD" COUNTRIES. Let me know if you would like to join..



I know a lot of people who spend their own money and energy to reach out to the so called third world countries and help people...



BTW, dinner parties do attract a lot of people, but that is another way to promote your "projects" in front of people....



That's it for now!



See you around...



Cheers, Ehsaan
