Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1542 Joined: 22 Jun 2009    | I would push it 6,838,770,834 times. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1200 Joined: 16 Sep 2009     | I would freaking smash that button like it was God of War.... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 903 Joined: 17 Jun 2009     | Oh man! There would be more button mashing than in Soul Caliber!
Also, /irony. Your name is evilbunny and you won't press the button. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1661 Joined: 10 Sep 2008   | Why would I bother? I'd rather earn my money, that way I could actually enjoy my wealth. There's an unsettling trend of people who are born into money/winning the lottery not being happy. The struggle is every bit as worthwhile as the spoils. |

There is a movie like that coming out, but that's not where I got the idea, honest. |
On the Record  Posts: 5115 Joined: 24 Jun 2009   | Yes. A lot. |
On the Record  Posts: 6532 Joined: 8 Nov 2008    | 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? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2285 Joined: 11 Mar 2009  | I'd push it enough times to buy my PS3 and some exclusives, at least. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 496 Joined: 6 Aug 2009   | I'd push it every time I needed (or just wanted) $100. |
Nobel Laureate  Posts: 20596 Joined: 22 Dec 2008  |
Nope. Oh, and I'd press it at least 5,000 times. |

Well, it was a stupid short story and a stupid Twilight Zone episode before it was ever a movie. For $100 a person? Nah. |
SUSPENDED  Posts: 393 Joined: 13 Aug 2009   | I would press it OVAH NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND times. as a certain wise man said in these forums "and with that, I am off like a prom dress" User was suspended for: your favorite rule of the internet. (14 days) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1088 Joined: 20 Jan 2009     | 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 |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2599 Joined: 26 May 2009 | No. Because i have a feeling it would be the button to a trapdoor that surrounded the button, and underneath it there was a spike. |

soul calibur is not a button masher, its a tempo, not mash based game. button mashers are more like tekken. SC you need to actually practice. 6.4 billion times eh, im not completely evil. just want the fucking governments to end |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1318 Joined: 12 Aug 2009 | I wouldn't push the million dollar button from the movie... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 793 Joined: 17 Jul 2008 | I would if I also got to choose who died. It would be like a death-note with cash rewards! |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 790 Joined: 28 Mar 2009 | note that that episode was made back when the US$ was worth 25 |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 903 Joined: 17 Jun 2009 |
Well I'm not very good at Soul Caliber... which was sort of my point. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 610 Joined: 6 May 2009  | It's about time my button mashing skills are being put to good use! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2055 Joined: 5 Jun 2009  | First,it's stupid premise. Second,i would not press any kind of buttons unless absolutely neccesary. I'm crazy,not stupid. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 938 Joined: 9 Nov 2008  | No thanks. The cash reward would have to be significantly higher for me to be tempted. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 407 Joined: 4 Aug 2009    | I would set up a machine to push the button once every five seconds for twenty years. 60/5=12 12*60*24*365.25*20=126,230,400 Thank you, calculator. |
Paperboy  Posts: 12 Joined: 17 Aug 2009   | I'd press it, and then I'd be the one who dies. |
On the Record  Posts: 7402 Joined: 11 Jul 2009   | No, I would not. I have seen many different scenarios of this. One were the man went to hell for pushing it, as it was a test. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1130 Joined: 13 Jan 2009  | No, not for a measely $100. If it was $1000, or $10000, maybe. And I swear to god, I'm seeing threads in 4chan a month that trickle into here. |

And that would be the funniest thing ever (not you specifically, but to who ever pushed it the first time and it was he/she that died). |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3370 Joined: 11 Mar 2009   |
I both concur, and laughed quite heartily. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 95 Joined: 3 Aug 2009  | My friend and I had this argument earlier. I feel that if someone were to die just after I pushed a button, then my not pushing it would probably not prevent their death. The two events are just so unrelated that my pushing of the button could, in no way, effect the outcome of another person's life. Oh, and I'm in a lead room to prevent any possible radio waves. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1609 Joined: 18 Mar 2009  | I would slam down upon that thing with a mallet.. It'd be like a game of whack-a-mole... 'Cept I'd win every time. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2607 Joined: 5 Jun 2008   | You really should have left it at a million dollars, like the movie you got this from. Thing is, unless you're crazy, no way is a hundred bucks worth a human life, but a million dollars, that is actually a serious decision. A billion dollars, and nobody would hesitate, and a thousand (or a hundred as you've said) and nobody would consider it. But a million dollars? That one's a bit more difficult. As to the topic, as it is worded in the OP, no, no pressing from me. Again, offer me a million bucks, and I might just think twice about it. |
Muckraker  Posts: 323 Joined: 27 Oct 2009   | Wow you guys would seriously push it? You'd all go crazy like Light from Death Note :O |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2800 Joined: 7 May 2008   | No. Now, if it were a million dollars... I probably still wouldn't do it. |

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?
