Poll: Would you press the button

[Slayer_2]

I wouldn't press it for sexual gratification, no. I'd just press it because too many women are irritating. Maybe if there were less of us we'd all stop being bitches to each other.

Of course, then we'd have to try to have more kids in order to sustain the population, and I don't want to pop out kids from my vag just so the world could go on. And due to that we might not have as many opportunities to have our own lives. So maybe I wouldn't.

As long as there are two women somewhere on the planet, one will seek the other out and start drama

Seriously, though, I hope the people who said "yes" were just being the usual internet dickwads... How evil would you have to be to actually go through with that?

I like threads such as there. It helps you tell who to ignore in future arguments, because everyone who unironically answers yes to this question would be better off in a sanitarium.

I mean seriously, placing absolutely no value on life, that's a special kind of fucked up.

I wouldn't push the million dollar button, and I sure as hell wouldn't push this.

So, KILL 30% OF ALL THE THINGS to make girls like me more?

...

I want to punch everyone who said "yes" in the face.

kill 30% of all people of your gender, read the post bro.

There's also other reasons to press that button depending on your gender... Rather than just to get laid, though that is obviously the main focal point.

I knew that, actually, "ALL THE THINGS" is just a Hyperbole and a Half reference where "things" = males.

And my point still stands.

What point?

There is no point.

Any more silly semantics you care to annoy me with?

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I wouldn't need the button to get the attention.
I get all of the boys.

Spoiler

Anyways, nope. The genders are, for all intents and purposes, 50/50. I'll find me a lady and some lady'll find me.

Considering the OP at one point said this wasn't murder, I am going to assume that pushing this button sends them to the elemental plane of hookers. Also seeing as the OP refused to clarify whether or not I could be part of the 30%, I'm going to call this a win-epic win scenario.

On a serious note, no, because I am not a psychopath, nor a narcissist, nor a desperate freak. I'll get the sexy time when I'm good and ready, I'm just not ready yet. /falseconfidence

evil and good are just illusions. There is no right or wrong, only goals to be met by whatever means you deem within means, or whatever kind of philosophy you happen to have.

One is not better than the other. It's like trying to convince a guy who likes fat chicks over skinny chicks. It's just a preference, and neither of you are wrong for it.

You say evil I say lemon.

"I would kill approximately 75% of scum in my country, all males, yes, but they are 75% scum, so although I would obviously have better chance of getting laid, I would mainly do it for the good of the world in general."

Psuedo-nihilists always amuse me (or are you a psuedo-moral relativist?). Saying your actions would in the end be for the greater good then saying there is no evil. Ha! You can't have it both ways man, unless there's some pretty kinky stuff going on that I do not and may not want to know about. Maybe.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'm a nice guy so no, I would not press that button. I would also take steps to make sure nobody else does either.

Spoiler: I will press this button though.

 

[Klutzz]

I would press the button, because it is a button, and it's sitting there, just waiting to be pressed. Longing for its purpose to be fulfilled. It would be a disservice to the button to not press it. A horrible crime, even. I don't even care for the potential of attention from the opposing gender, I just want to help that lonely button achieve it's purpose.

 

[Xan Krieger]

Can I please press it 3 times and remove 90% of men? Finally I'd have a slight chance of a relationship.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

Its only 30 %, rarer my ass.

 

[emeraldrafael]

no, thats alright. losing that many people wold throw the economy into a deeper tailspin.

 

[Yopaz]

I love how about 27% voted yes, yet I see no-one admitting it, at least not on page 1.

I would not press it. 30% makes chances that I know the person too high, also it makes the murder count a bit too high in my opinion. Also I'm not desperate enough to have one person murdered just to get laid.

 

[NightHawk21]

Where is the poll option that says: Don't press the button, but tell everyone you have the button and then hold the country ransom until they meet your demands?

So the holocaust in WW2 was just Hitler "meeting his goals"? He was no better or worse a person than Mother Theresa? I dunno if you're kidding or not, but you sound like a robot, wiping out millions of people so that you can have a better chance of getting laid is pretty low down on the morality scale.

Evil and good aren't preferences, they're two extremes on the moral scale. A scale that helps define what kind of person you are.

Come on, really? The people who sweep the streets? Refine my gas? Guard me while I sleep? Do NOT F___ with THEM! Who's gonna do those jobs once those people vanish?! The world will be poorer for their absence! The food they would have grown disappears from my cupboard? From my plate? The gasoline, from my car? Maybe even its engine! My mechanics? My car is, once again, a squealing, maple-scented hell-with-no-heat?
Uh, pass.

 

[White Lightning]

I'd probably press it because I press just about every button I see. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten in trouble because I like pressing buttons. Especially unlabelled ones, I mean... it has no label! How am I supposed to know what it does if I don't press it!

 

[Dfskelleton]

Hell no. I consider myself likeable and attractive enough to find a woman all on my own. I don't need your hypothetical button of genocide.
