Push the button:  get 5 billion dollars

[dadofthree]

Yeah right, pfftt


You know who's calling me from the garage

 

[VaBusa]

Your 'garage monkey'?

 

[dadofthree]

What's this garage monkey you speak of and the more important question is : are we jacking this thread and did you push thy button

 

[dadofthree]

Good morning Blonde, don't push the button

Thread jacking is indeed in progress and might I add that you started this

Off to see about pushing the button since you may have changed my mind

 

[dadofthree]

That hurts, I mean that really hurts. I'm off to dead, I mean bed, looks like rain.

You guys are missing a good point here, who's to say that someone that deserves to die gets it, that's Karma.

I can read that two ways...are you suggesting that if you push the button, it's a guarantee that karma will go after someone that deserves it?

OR are you saying that if you push the button, karma comes back to get you?

I'd be first in line to push the button and not even care about the money if I could be certain that a child predator gets zapped from the planet

it's easier to say yes online to a completely harmless poll, than it would be in real life. just thought this would make good discussion. it just tells me people like money. who doesn't? 5 billion is a LOT of lute, but I still wouldn't do it

I don't think I'd need a 5 bill dollar stringed musical instrument but if you're talking about "loot" - that's another story!

j/k....

Guess my view is that as much as I'd like more money, I'm fine as is now and will work to get more. Ask someone in poverty and they may think very differently.

...there'd be NO price for me to press that button, but I know plenty that wouldn't bat an eyelash before hammering away...

R u sure about it? Just imagine that your kid is in need of organ transplant and the only person who can give it to him asking 5 Billion $ for it. I think as a mother you will kill for your child. and Not knowing the person makes it easier.

Maybe you won`t and I`m wrong but decision gonna be tough.

 

[Punisher]

Dang! Now isn't that a messed up situation to be in. Still though, I don't think I could take the money and live with myself (here or in eternal damnation).

You missed MY POINT...based on this discussion, I would never randomly have someone killed for money...that has nothing to do with my kids and thank goodness offering up $ for organs is illegal or we'd have a much more diverse subject to talk about here...

I would kill for my children...and I'm certain there are plenty of parents out there that have dying children that would do anything for them, myself included, but...

...that's not the topic at hand, so don't try to get me going on some tangent

 

[Vic_E55_2001]

you kill for your child - burn in hell.

you kill for you country - burn in hell.

you kill for anything - burn in hell.

Since I`ll burn in hell anyway, why should I care?

That might be the situation with majority of people here who answered yes.

 

[VaBusa]

Might as well get money on the way to hell, 'eh Vic?  

 

BTW, killing to protect your child or to serve your Country is at least a cause...killing for money is for sheer greed...at least that's how I'm rationalizing things

Well I didn't think it through that far but both are Karma.

Nice short film

I wonder how people would have answered this question 30 years ago? 50 years ago? 100 years ago?

I think we all know. Why? Because we know there is a truth and a right and wrong. Today's fence straddling, politically correct, me-me society is devaluing human worth slowly over time. This is proof... in a small way
