louder

don't remember what the films called. think it's called 'the box' or something stupid.
they walk around with this box with a button in it.
if you press it, they give you a million dollars, but when you do, someone, somewhere will die.
i'd press it 10 times.
10 million dollars, and the statistics are in my favour for it not being someone i care about.

No, seeing as the aliens would blow the planet up if too many pressed it.

I wouldn't press it because there's still a chance it'll be someone you know or care about!

Er.. I think I would. Hundreds of people die each minute.
There's millions of people suffering in poverty, the chances are that you'd kill one of those and end their lives (which is probably the best favour you could do for them :()
I'd probably feel a bit guilty but I'd be a million pounds better off..? I don't know.. I wouldn't want to meet the family members :(

if i didn't meet anyone who was anything to do with them, it wouldn't play on my mind.
omg this is louder aka luke right?!?!?!?!? asif yr still around hihhihihihi!!
also, yeh i'd press it. people die every second of every hour anyway, if i could benefit from misery then why not. :) also i could prevent another death with the money i make perhaps!

Truthfully, I don't think I would.
Not because i'd be scared that it would be someone that I cared about, but because I could never kill an innocent person, no matter who they were, and although there are many people that deserve to die, I couldn't take that risk.

might not be innocent.

Hmm depends really. I suppose i would wanna know who i killed, so i could still help. not say it was my fault of course :P cowards way out. But say if it was the breadwinner of a family, give them some of the money i got off pressing the button, so that they are okay. etc etc you get my point. but maybe by killing some people and pressing that button you could make enough money to put into a disease research project and find a cure, like cancer or the malaria mosquitos, or find a cute to poverty etc etc. I'm sure killing some people is worth it in the end if it means you could save billions of lives in the long run.

I wouldn't press the button, the thought of killing someone just to get money is awful!

I feel quite mean for saying I would, but I would probably want to find out who I killed and then help the family out - whether it be financially or anything else :)

No, I can honestly say I would not.

i just pressed it.
I'm currently training to become an assassin, so I guess this button would make things easier =]
But in all seriousness, I would yes. People die every minute.

No, I wouldn't. Hundreds of people die every minute but I wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Yeah probably if it was as simple as that but..
in the movie they went through hell after pressing it and the next person that pressed the button would lead to person who pressed it previously to die, don't do it okay.
Well that's silly ofcourse I'd press it, I'd physically shoot the person in the head if it meant I got £1Million

I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that I am directly responsible for the death of another person, in which I don't know anything about their morals or life.
I couldn't care less about money, sure I want it but I'm not that desperate. I wouldn't press the button.

No, because in the film your child gets made blind, then you have to make your partner kill themselves to save the child.
weird film

I would keep pressing it until Justin Bieber died. What's not to like about lots of money and no Bieber?????

If they were like terminally ill or a serial killer I would. But you can't guarantee that, so no I wouldn't press it.

hmm i think i would :)
Think I would, but then again it would depend on whether you knew there were going to be horrible circumstances or not.
