I would press the button once and see what happens. I would not really want my friend, boyfriend, mum or Jack Russel to die. That is only 4 people/dog out of 10,000 chances though. I would take the risk.

[Beastie]

This reminds me on Big Brother.. when Makosi pressed the red button. Do you guys remember that?

[Fom]

I wouldn't, I couldn't handle the fact I have killed someone close to someone else.

You have a nice life.
I have a nice life.
We all hae a nice life, and of course life can always be made better so if I was given the Oppertunity to get this much cash just to have another African or any stranger for that matter die, I wouldnt care.

And Neither would you.

Speak for yourself! To actually make a conscious decision to let someone else die - so that you can have a lot of money - is tantamount to murder!

Speaks volumes about you that you can come out with such utter crap! You would probably be the first to want some stranger to help you if you lay dying in the road or something - your'e not even worth discussing this with any longer!

To put in danger a loved one or relative is the ultimate betrayal of civilised behavour......Sort of mind set you would expect from the likes of Adolf Hitler.......

No civilised human being would press the button under those conditions unless you are an instictive murderer for personal gain...

Money is very important yes and it "can" buy happiness but is not garaunteed too....... Money cnnot buy you out of an agonising terminal illness........Money cannot buy genuine friends.......Money can attract criminals in your direction as people who have had their children held to ransom and killed would testify......


In short it is foolish and short sighted to believe money is the road to happiness....... At the end of the day happiness is in the mind and not the state of your bank balance.....

Tiger woods is rolling in it. Is he a happy bunny at the mo........Money can and often does bring quite the opposite to hapiness........

To bring it back on topic if the button was pressed and a dear one was lost the rich sole would have to live with the fact that in effect it was murder of a loved one for gain.........Some happiness.....And what a monster that so called happy one would be......

Random people: Twice or three times. I mean it's a very small chance.
Closest: None.

But it would be a bigger chance for your loved ones - being strangers to the majority of people! For every one of them that shares your attitude - increases the chances of your loved ones paying the price!

Exactely!!

Yes 1 in 10,000 at least 30 times. I hate my relatives.
No if it was my family not even once (ok maybe just once.... since no one died just few more times)

I am a sick person so I would take the risk

[MrGaryy]

No the money would be tainted with guilt. However, if it was just a person that would die, that I didn't know, then I couldn't give a ****, I'd press it various times.

[WOMBAI]

I certainly wouldn't give a **** if it was you - with an attitude like that - you would deserve it!

[sooty]

It would be nice to have money.

I can retire tomorrow.
I can upgrade Sooty and Charie's cat foods.
I can lying on a Cuban beach, drinking mojito, listening to my all time favorite music "Albatross".....................If the money was from lottery.

But NO, even if I was told the victim would be only the strangers (Enid might be one of them), I could not do it. The guilty conscience ,,,,,,,,,.

You can call me a coward, but I do not mind.

Oh God that's hilarious and I don't even know why.

With an attitude like that you're certainly going to go up in my estimations.

[lily.]

No.

[InOne]

What if the person you didn't know who died was a Paedophile or something?

[lily.]

Still no.

If the paedophile abused children yes, if he didn't, no. Murderers i'd press it numerous times for.

[InOne]

Murder happens for all sorts of reasons, Paedophilia happens for one reason.

I would not take someone's life. That's not for me to do. No matter how bad the person is.. it's still not for me to do.. and for financial gain? That actually sickens me to be honest.

Fair enough I guess. At least someone has a conscience on here lol

[lily.]

This thread has been an eye-opener to be honest.

To what?
