Question based on the new movie “The Box” and a local radio station.
Scenerio for those who don’t know already
You’re given a box and with a button on it - everytime you push that button you get a million dollars but someone in the world dies. Do you push the button and if so how many times?
Defend your desicion.
Re: A Million Dollars
As much as I'd like to, I would not kill someone for a million dollars. Why? Because life and death should be in God's hands only.
Re: A Million Dollars
Who gets million dollar if I push the button and die myself.
Re: A Million Dollars
That some one could be one of yours loved ones :) Nyah too much risk factor for my liking !
Re: A Million Dollars
vicious cycle!
Re: A Million Dollars
Lifey expand.
I'm with Nikki on this; and whats a million dollars these days?
Barely a nice house... totally not worth it.
So what if we raised the stakes to $10Mil?
Re: A Million Dollars
nope - I wouldn't push even once. I couldn't live with the guilt.
I could spend 10 million in a month :)
Re: A Million Dollars
I still wouldn't because someone could hit the button and I could die with the $10mil in my hands.
Re: A Million Dollars
^ so you're reasons change with the amount.
Now lets put another twist; is it justifiable for someone in a thirdworld country below poverty level to push it? Would it be more accepted?
Re: A Million Dollars
No, I think knowing that an act of yours will kill a person is reason enough for anyone to not push the button... what if the person to die is an innocent child...
Re: A Million Dollars
Make it 100 million - then i might chance my luck :)
Re: A Million Dollars
I don't think I would push it even for $10mil but the temptation would increase tenfold.
Re: A Million Dollars
Can you choose who dies… there are many politicians people would like to get rid of…
No, i don’t think i could do it, even if it was a politician. :no:
Re: A Million Dollars
^^ why not - would you not kill a tyrant - if you got a chance ... I would !
Re: A Million Dollars
No you can't choose - if that was the case then Duniya saaf na hojaai...
And I guess that would grey the area between God and Man.
To much power --
^^ why not - would you not kill a tyrant - if you got a chance ... I would !
No, because today's freedom fighter is tomorrow's tyrant.
on a side note, I wonder if there exists a button pushing which can kill this thread?
Re: A Million Dollars
^ There is such a button but why :(
i like my thread!!
not original but got you're attention
Re: A Million Dollars
Hmm.....$10M
Considering how many I could feed with $10M.....I might be tempted.

A feed made out of a human skull is " no feed". Renegotiate with your temptation.
