The box.

[Dark Knifer]

Here's how I see it. Say you push the button and someone dies. That person goes to the afterlife and discovers why they died. Now if I was that person who died I would be absolutely furious that I died purely because someone wanted money. Also the family would be devastated and if they found out, they'd probably kill you, or place charges on you. Now I know it's near impossible to find out who killed them but you would always know.

I wouldn't press the button because I wouldn't wanna be an asshole, even if you offered me money.

What if the afterlife isn't real? What if they made it look like an accident?

You would still know you killed someone, and the people who were close to them would still be devastated. I'm just saying that goes against my morals so I wouldn't press it. Also I could argue about the afterlife but i'm not going to because the internet is pretty much the WORST place to have a religous debate.

Besides, that has it's own topic area I could go to for that.

 

[Griphphin]

If i were to press that button, a good chunk of that million is going to have to go to saving more lives than it cost. The guilt would rack me otherwise.

 

[Dopi]

If I got to choose who dies, I'd push the button about 30-40 times. That would be awesome.

 

[londelen]

I'd invent a machine capable of pressing the button a million times a minute (somehow) then hold Earth hostage by threatening it with said machine.

 

[soundoflights]

Id push it 6,692,030,277 times and hope I die last so I can finish my task.

 

[_Janny_]

Commence button mashing!
Seriously, it would be like playing tekken.

Ahahaha! Same here, man, same here... I don't value human lives that much anyway, not even my own, so button mashing all the way.

 

[WolfThomas]

This came up a few months ago, a youtube clip based on the episode of the twilight zone...

Spoiler: ...with a twist

It was a test for getting into heaven

I answered then and now always no, not because I don't need the money or because of the moral question. To put it simply, I'm paranoid, I think everything has a catch, a twist or a trap. If it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't.

 

[Captain Schpack]

I would have a few questions first, would I know this person? Could it be traced back to me? If I press it twice do I get $2 million?

If he said no, no and yes, I would probably be more tempted to press it. For example, 1 or 2 million dollars is a lot of money. However, the knowledge of having a human's death on my hands might be too overwhelming.

 

[Kud]

What if the button killed you?

well i guess your family would make a good profit from it.

 

[Tonimata]

I'd hit the button for 50 dollars.

And inflict someone with AIDS?

 

[Tonimata]

Id push it 6,692,030,277 times and hope I die last so I can finish my task.

Actually, that's a pretty good idea. Besides, it does specify that you won't know the person, so you could just make sure to do a system reset on the world and rebuild it with your friends and family to be an idilic place!

...
Never mind that, I'LL DO IT FOR YOU!

 

[RanD00M]

Twice for two millions.So if i press it ten times i get ten millions.That mean that i would push it 99 times.

 

[Mister Eff]

That was one of the worst films I've seen this year. It was awful! Plot holes, plot jumps, unlikeable lead character (Diaz) and what started as an interesting exploration of morality, turned into a pointless sci-fi excursion that made no sense.

 

[sephiroth1991]

I would do it for Free Ha ha ha

OT: This is a very deep moral question, i'll only do it if i need the money.

I was thinking more along the lines of human extinction.

 

[Distorted Stu]

I would press it if i didnt get done or murder.. maybe. I would press it loads if you never told me it would kill someone!

 

[Lazy Kitty]

I'd push the button for no money and the chance to push the button about 6.8 billion times.
At my leisure of course.

 

[AkJay]

I'd hit the button for 50 dollars.

And inflict someone with AIDS?

OF COURSE NOT! If I wanted to give someone AIDS, well, that's something you need to be up close and personal to do.

 

[hudsonzero]

wasn't that a episode of the twilight zone
but any way i would hit the person with the box so iused it to hurt someone i don't know

No, no, no, don't worry, I'll do it. After all, we wouldn't want you to get tired
