This is from an upcoming film. Just seen the trailer for it on YT.
Anyway, suppose you have a box delivered to you. In the box is a metal case containing a single red button and a note:
You are given two choices:
Press the button means someone will die somewhere in the world, but you'll be given $1,000,000. No catches, no tricks. You'll get away with murder.
OR
You don't press the button and this person will not die.
You don't know the person so there's no connection between you two, and you'll not get charged with murder or anything.
What do you do?

Now a million bucks to give someone crabs? Sure, I'll push the button.

Same here. Although being able to get away with it might be tempting to some people.

You wouldn't know though do you? You could just as easily be killing a mother of four.

There's plenty of people out there that I would be more than happy to kill if I got the opportunity. I don't need the money and my conscience would be fine with it. I'd sleep like a baby. I'd be happy to supply my own bullet and the gas to get there.

That Ft. Hood Bozo
Just about any baby squeezer and I wouldn't care if they were a priest
Bernie Madoff...
It's a long list. As far as I'm concerned, it's just taking out the trash.
But to just pick at random? No way. |
