A question for you, escapists.

[pffh]

What happens if I push it more then once?

You become a shoe.

 

[DSK-]

Dunno. If life gets a lot harder I'd probably press the big red button.

 

[Blow_Pop]

I wouldn't care and I'd press the button at least once. Get to a stage of I am comfortable(not rich but not poor and definitely not in debt)and I am happy. Oh and probably move out of the US.

 

[Trivea]

Yes, I would, and I don't feel that I have to justify myself to strangers on the internet, either.

People have done a lot worse for a lot less, in my opinion. Besides, as far as I know, it's five old people in a nursing home that were going to die tomorrow anyway.

 

[dikespies]

If we say the 5 killed people are dead and un-revivable, then I wouldn't press it. I believe we already have the privilege and we can be happy to live a life with enough food and clear water. So I don't want to be responsible for the loss of 5 people, who have their own family and friends etc, just to fulfill my own selfish needs..

 

[chstens]

So it won't affect me in any way, which means no-one I know or care for will die. Yeah. I'd do it. I'm a selfish bastard. And if one of those five unlucky ones had the same choice, the chance of them doing the exact same thing is pretty likely.

 

[Xanadu84]

This is kinda a cheating answer, but my Whim would include saving at least 6 peoples lives. So yes.

 

[superstringz]

Can I press the button multiple times?
But in all seriousness yes. I could always wish the 5 dead people back.

 

[Drudgelmir]

A good life, which isn't to the detriment of others. Thus I find a loophole the people live and I get my wishes.

 

[I Have No Idea]

So here's the deal. You now have a big red button. You press it, your every whim will be catered to for the rest of your obscenely long life, and you will stay fit and healthy throughout.

But heres the catch.

You press that button, 5 people die. This won't effect you in anyway. You will never meet those people, it won't hurt you, and you could not press that button and their lives will still mean nothing. To you.

Did someone watch The Box?

 

[One of Many]

hell, I'd push that button twice.

The Box? Never heard of it.

 

[Ekit]

I would press the button. I guess I'm selfish, but at least I'm being honest.

 

[internetzealot1]

Yeah, I'd probably do it.

 

[PureIrony]

There's nothing I want that's worth the lives of five people.

 

[cahtush]

No. I wouldn't be able to live with that.

 

[Snotnarok]

I'd hit the button, my mom is very 'ill' and I'd use any means to help her. 5 people die, saddening sure but I'm kind of torn up by the loss of her yet she's alive.

 

[Aiedail256]

your every whim will be catered to

I'll push it, then have a whim for those 5 people to be brought back to life.
Sorry if this has been said before; I don't want to read 6 pages
