What if I were destined to meet them, but I killed them?trelloskilos said:
Especially saying if I would have married them, but killed them before even knowing them...
except now we're in a paradox.

This is unfair. I want to kill people I DO know, people who are assholes and morons that vast amounts of people would want dead anyway.
I don't know about the movie, but I know the story and the twilight zone episode both implied that the person that died wasn't at all random.
How do you know that you haven't killed someone you were destined to meet already, all because a decsision you made, or an action you took, had a knock-on effect?firedfns13 said:
Actually, that's one of the other points that I raised that the moral goody goodies have chosen to ignore.
Not for all the money in the world. Because I have a fucking conscience.
Sure, the odds of me knowing would be slim to nothing. The odds of me finding out, even lower. But the odds of that person being innocent, a child, a brother, a wife, someone who has done absolutely nothing to me nor deserves having their life taken away for mere material gain...those are pretty good.
Personally, I don't think I could kill anyone for any reason unless it was for one of the following: 1) they just hurt someone I care for and I acted out against them in a blind rage, or 2) it was Hitler.

I'd push it, but only if i got to kill the person myself for the money, otherwise it's like stealing. I don't steal...
that is likely to end up killing youfluffybacon said:
erm its a magic button where do you think the 100 quid comes from the random person not killed by it??brutus3933 said:
OT: well no mayby a few tims but probly no
well if i really wanted something
*push*...
*guy next to me falls over*
holly shit!!
............
lets do that again we could make a tv show make more money lol.
I wouldn't push it. No-one on earth (or anywhere else, for that matter) has the right to make that kind of decision on whether someone lives or dies for no good reason, least of all for a measly $100. If it was guaranteed to only ever kill horrible individuals, I may consider it, but the paradox that taking such a decision using some magic button would make you just as much of a monster as the person it would kill.
Call me a big philosophical loser if you want, that's my take on it.
Although I am surprised (well, not really. More reminded of how much the world sucks.) at the 150 cold, cold people who would push the button.

A: That movie sounds like a stupid movie. It's just like the whole 'monkey's paw' thing from, what was it? The Twilight Zone. Yeah, it's a stupid and extremely predictable plotline.
B: No. Would not push it. Basically because stupid movie karma would probably have it kill my future wife, or the President of the United States, or the guy who invented orange soda or something, instead of, say, some starving child in Africa who would have died in a month anyway, or Osama Bin Laden, or Kim Jong Il.
And yeah, it's like killing a guy for his watch. You'd have to pay me a lot more to get me to consider it.

I would pick up the box with the button on it... then smash the "host's" face with it while screaming "YOU USED 'HELLO ZEPP' AS THE BGM FOR THE CRAPPY TRAILER OF YOUR CRAPPY MOVIE! I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DIES FOR THAT!"
That's what I'd do
(or like using 'In the House in a Heartbeat' for Beowulf... these promoters could die from Graendel's scream imo)
