Fame or Family?

ArtyM

If you had to choose between unlimited riches and your friends and family, which would you choose?
Lets say that you were offered the chance to do something that would, without question, cause you to be disowned by your family and your friends forever but that would ensure you became rich beyond your wildest dreams, would you take that chance?
I, personally, would not.
I would not swap. I dont think there is a pleasure that can be bought that comes even close to a good friendship, or knowing that a family is there for you.
I ask the question because I have seen quite a few cases in the media recently where people became both famous and estranged from their families.

The Big Red Button

I'm gonna go with family ...

You'd have to be quite cold and dead inside not to

If it meant being disowned, no. I'm too needy. And no amount of money would work.

Biggins

Family, no question.

Red Hand

I've tried life with family so give me the money option.:pac:

TeddyTedson

If the price was right I'd shoot them all one by one myself.




Sick Joke...I'd do it for free!

Family. Money is nice but not worth the isolation and I couldn't walk away from the people I love for anything!

KTRIC

Fame and riches, hands down

Until someone is out to take them away from you - then the more family you have, hopefully the more your back is watched and looked out for.

For me, my family (and friends) is my wealth.

No your health is your wealth Biggie, without this life is crap.

You're never going to be able to properly answer these sort of questions unless the it is actually presented to you in real life, which is fairly unlikely.
I'm going family....

Dangerous Man

Money.

Family for me but I have seen family rifts rip families asunder and destroy lives over money and/or the inevitably associated property.

I don't know who you are, but I'm not doing anything to you!

I hope you mean the other Gisele.

I need a clearer definition of family before making my choice;)
Does it mean your own children or your folks, siblings etc?

There is a saying : '' He who loses his fortune loses much , he who loses his friends loses everything ''

Fair enough.
It means everybody that falls under the umbrella of friends and family - so as a price of your new found fame and wealth you would have to sacrifice them all, every friend, parent, brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, etc.
But on the plus side, you would be rolling in it.

O' no argument - that also is your wealth.

Giselle

If you have no family and no friends, you're poor.

No money would make me give them up. I'll hang in there with them in all their annoying, irritating, demanding, dysfunctional, loveable glory.

Fiddlesticks:mad:

Guess it has to be family so.:(

Mickey Lover

Went for family - as head wrecking, needy, demanding as they are - I don;t think I be myself without them, can't imagine walking away from them all for money. Is there an option where you could have both ? - now that I could handle You could employ a nanny and the like for when you didn't want to deal with them and only see them on their/your good days bliss

Can the 4 people (so far) who've vote 'No' please vacate this plain of of existence?

Because there's clearly nothing left for you as is

Money is the root of all evil
and the route to all evil. . .
But I bet Bertie doesn't see it that way. . .

Well I'm unhappy without money so let's see how things shape up with it!:D

Fuck you for the meantime family!!!










Seriously though I'm not that much of a dick. Not that far off it in fairness...:p

Mance Rayder

Family , no contest.

Could I choose the fortune and forego the fame part?
