Hypothetical #3

I want to start this one off by saying I'm not trivializing anything that happened in history, nor the contributions of any of the people listed below. That being said:

- Let's take a famous person, who is generally recognized as having made amazing contributions to society, and was assassinated. For example: JFK, MLK, or Abraham Lincoln.

- Instead of being shot, they died by getting kicked hard in the balls. Once.

- Would this, at all, change how you thought of them? Would it change how the world thought of them?

-Caveat #1: Other than the ball kicking, they were killed by the same people in the same place, on the same date and time. The only thing that changed is what killed them.

- Caveat #2: And it wasn't like John Wilkes Booth kicked Lincoln so hard his foot ripped through his small intestines. He just kicked him in the balls, Lincoln went "Ow!" keeled over, and died.

Hypothetical #2

This isn't going to be a funny one, FYI; I was just kind of thinking about this the other day:

• Assume, no matter what you actually believe, that there is an afterlife.
  
• Design the "positive" afterlife. This should actually be positive, in your opinion.
  
• Design the "negative" afterlife. This should actually be negative, in your opinion.
  
• Assume that this would be applicable to all people, including yourself.
  
• Also, assume that you will have no idea in advance which one you're going to.

What does your afterlife look like? Does that fact that you don't know where you're going at all influence your decisions when designing the afterlife?

What's more wrong:

- Me putting a posting on Craigslist saying that I would give one dude a handjob for a million dollars, and then not following through.

or

- Me putting a posting on Craigslit saying that I would give one dude a handjob for a million dollars, following through, and then the dude not giving me a million dollars.

Let's assume in both cases that there's no way I'm capable of giving a million dollar handjob.
