Hey all. I have a little game i've stolen from another forum, here goes.

You have a button. Each press kills a random person on the earth, and awards you 100$.
You can push the button multiple times if you'd like. No one will ever know if you have pushed the button.

Would you do it?

Haha you have, of course,seen the eponymous twilight zone episode? You are assured that will not know the person who is killed. When the button is taken from you, you are only told it will be given to someone you 'do not know'.

oh and no, no button press.

For $100, there's no way I'm pressing the button. A human life is worth more than that.

Free money, and odds are it won't affect me or my loved ones? (Playing the odds here, afterall.)

Hell yes.

Can I change it slightly, and point it at people that I want dead?

Then I'd be bashing more buttons than when I play Tekken.

While I personally would not, I can safely say that my Avatar of the Dark Lord would willingly press that button all day and night until every last human had died. He would likely donate the money to whomever came up with the device.

You guys should watch movies from last year... or classic TV to see how this pans out.
Last year? They made movies last year?

And yes, I recall the Twilight Zone episode. No, it doesn't influence my decision; my decision was made even considering the possiblity that I myself or a loved one may be killed. If I assuredly will not be killed, nor anyone I know, then, I'm pressing that thing a couple more times for good measure. Eventually, I and my loved ones will be killed somewhere along the button's path. Until then, hey, free money.

yeah, no. Not for £100 or $100 would I push the button. It's gotta be a lot more than that, because I'm risking killing someone awesome, like Alan Rickman or something, and I'd need some compensation than that.
