Poll: Would you push the button?

[Fniff]

No.
I mean, Christ, it's only a hundred dollars. It'd be like killing a dude for his shoes.
Why? What's the point?
It's a lot less hassle just to get a freaking job and work for it.

Now, if it were a million dollars... I probably still wouldn't do it.
Just because I wouldn't wanna.
I am a flower child and so on.

Guess what?

I TAPED DOWN THE BUTTON!

 

[Zarthek]

I wouldn't do it, the thought of killing outside of video games disgusts me... oh yea it's cool in movies too

 

[Altorin]

I probably would.

If the stakes were 1 million dollars like in the upcoming movie, hell to the yeah I would.

Please note this video came out years before any movie related to it, so yeah.

 

[CloakedOne]

if it were more money for a life, I probably would. The world is overpopulated anyway.

 

[Deadpewl]

I think its called "The Box".
It sounded kinda creative when I heard of it but it seems that twilight zone already did it.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Is this about that movie that ripped off that internet short filme?

 

[RaNDM G]

If I were killing criminals and the like who wouldn't have a chance in Hell of getting back into God's good graces, I probably would. I'd be able to use the money on people who actually need it.

If it's in any other case, I wouldn't. I don't believe an innocent person should have to die where money's involved.

BTW: It's not worth doing something like that if the price is that low. Maybe at $100,000 but that's still pushing it.

 

[mechanixis]

I would press it, then spend the money on exactly one video game.

"Yep," I would think, settling in to play ODST, "that is the value of a human life. It was a thankless sacrifice, but it was for a noble cause: my transitory entertainment."

A couple hours later, I would put the game down and go to bed. The next day, I would kind of want to play it, but I'd have other stuff to do anyway.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Is this aboot that stupid movie coming out?

Well, it was a stupid short story and a stupid Twilight Zone episode before it was ever a movie.
I feel the need to tell people that.

For $100 a person? Nah.
Now, maybe if it was $1,000...

It was also a stupid short film here before it was a movie.


And as long as I was assured that there would not be any other consequences other than a random person dropping off the face of the earth. Then yes. Yes I would. I would press it 7-8 times so that I may afford my MW2 360.

And most of this thread just proves what I have always said. Humans are whores, just name the right price.
That being said, no. I would not press the button. I would be tempted, but I would not. Too much empathy in me.
On the other hand, I would find a way to safely disassemble the thing to see how it worked. Who could resist seeing the inner workings of a magic death and money button?

 

[asinann]

Until my fingers fell off, even if they didn't pay me to do it.

See I am already under the belief that people suck and I don't care for them at all, what do I care if another pointless life is ended 10 minutes pre-maturely before they could rob, kill or rape someone?

Lol at ^This^

 

[z121231211]

Dammit, not another one of these.

I'd push it, I'd push it until I was the one to receive the horrible death, at least there won't be anymore "Would you push the button" topics then.

 

[j0frenzy]

Even if that robber, murderer or rapist is your mother? Your significant other? You? Let us not forget that it kills a random person on the Earth. Its not just some insurgent in Uzbekistan, some soldier in the Chinese army or someone sitting in jail for a DUI in Phoenix, Arizona. It is anyone on the planet Earth. So, I interpret the question along the lines of you play Russian roulette where someone dies every time you pull the trigger, but you get paid every time its not you.

 

[nono195]

more than a 100 for this. Something so that the money could help more people than it could condemn

 

[KazNecro]

Is this aboot that stupid movie coming out?

A stupid movie ripping off an episode of 'Tales from the Darkside' with almost the same damned premise.

 

[Captain_Caveman]

way to totally rip off that crappy ass new movie "The Box"

 

[naab]

Hell to the yes. Ever heard of Death Note? This is like Death Note but you get paid for it.

And how many times? As many times as it was convenient. If I needed a new laptop i would press it as many times as possible until I got the money to pay for the laptop.

I need to pay off school loans, I press it as many times as needed to pay off the school loans. How many people are on the planet? I think we can do without a few hundred.

So yes, I would push it but only at my own convenience. Not randomly out of idiocy.

 

[Smokepuddle]

I'd be richer than Bill Gates if I had that button.
