Poll: Would you push the button?

[p3t3r]

yes i would i don't have much respect for human life i don't know

 

[Vlane]

I would push it a few thousand times and hope that none of my family members dies.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

I'd go all Michael Flatley on that thing: I'd push it about one-hundred million times (with rests of course).


But that's only if I'm exempt from the button.

 

[Julianking93]

No.

100 dollars? Thats it? C'mon!!

It'd have to be at least a million dollars...*evil grin*

 

[Cgull]

I think my answer depends on how the victims of my inevitable greed would croak it.

If it was in their sleep or spontaneous combustion = quite probably.

Drowning/burning or other nasty things = nope

 

[Orange Monkey]

I'd probably push it once, feel horribly guilty, then destroy it.

 

[arc101]

I would... i need the money

 

[ProfessorLayton]

No. I wouldn't be able to live with the fact that I killed a man for money. The thing is, I don't know who it's going to kill. It could be the president or someone in my family or someone important. So no I wouldn't.

 

[Treefingers]

Id have sex with the button.

 

[luclin92]

i would push the butto about 300-400 times

 

[Baby Tea]

Absolutely not.
Kill someone for something as contrite as money?
I'm not that selfish or insecure.

 

[awesomeemosewa]

6billion people in th world. hmm no theres like a 50% chanse a friend of mine dies. I have loads of friends. (I wish).

 

[Aunel]

yes, think about it, almost 3 billion people live in underdeveloped country's we can miss those people.

and who cares, they will die anyway, I might press it a million times, and use that money to cure cancer, then eventually I will save more lives then I took.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

Yes, I mean people are going to die terriable deaths anyway. why not get some money from it?

 

[Epitome]

well i would but knowing my luck the first person would be my girl friend......but i would push it nonetheless everytime i need money

You would get that lucky? OT i would pust that button so so many times, like "come visit me on my new island" many times

 

[Azraellod]

Probably not. I wouldn't feel comfortable with the idea.

Although oddly enough, I'd probably wipe out most of humanity if I was given the chance. I just don't like the thought of being rewarded for it.

 

[CoziestPigeon]

So here's the scenario. I give you a magic button. Every time you push this button a random person on Earth dies a horrible death, and you get $100. Would you push it? If so, how many times?

Personally, I would not. Even though I would not get caught, I don't think I could deal with the guilt of knowing I was responsible for somebody's death. So, what about you, Escapist?

Sounds an awful lot like a movie coming out soon...

Call me someone that lives under a rock, but what film are you referring to?

Called something like "The Box." Think it has Reese Witherspoon. Anyways, it's exactly like what you said, only with 1 million dollars per push as opposed to 100.

 

[Koeryn]

Of course. I would push that button several thousand times, as the odds of me dying are less than 1 in 7000000000.

Is it bad that I said "Yes I would." when I saw the title, but before I could read the OP?

Same here actually =p

 

[KarumaK]

$100, You want me to kill for $100 dollars...

Sure why not.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Can I ask a question?

If I press the button, am I gonna get the axe? Premise is saying that one person dies in the world. However, they never specified if the person who pressed the button would the one that died..
