Flapdoodle is a funny word. "Flapadoodle' rolls off the tongue a little more though.
Flapadoodle.
Flapadoodle.
...sounds like sex noise when you say it a lot.
...That's enough internet for me today.
Why not? As presented, there's no reason in the world to think an empty box with a button on it will result in the things some weirdo stranger says will happen. Seriously, if this scenario happened to you, would you really think it would happen as described, or would you assume some prank was going on, since in the real world, that's about a million times more likely?
-There is no such word as "alot."
There is also no reason in the world to think some weirdo stranger is just giving me money with no strings attached. If he tells me someone else will die, I'd be concerned with how he knows someone else will die and if he has something to do with it. I'd be concerned that the money would be traced back to me and I will be considered an accessory for taking the money and not turning the man in.
And there's also no reason to presume that you will actually get the money based on the say-so of some kook. In this situation, I wouldn't believe any part of the scenario-this would be merely a test of credulity, not morality. A morality test requires that those tested believe in the parameters of the test, and they're given no reason to.

Without watching the movie. No signs of any sophisticated alien at blame. My husband opened it and it had nothing in it. I would not believe in the button.
I may be looking around to see if I'm on camera on some elaborate practical joke. I would be questioning people I know who might think something like that would be amusing. I'd check the internet and see if I can find any info on some elaborate scam or whatever that fits whats going on.
Under those circumstances I have no idea if I would push it or not. Probably depended if I'm feeling playful or not. Bad mood-no I wouldn't push it cause I would not be amused. Feeling in a more silly mood I might push the button in hopes to get to the punchline.
If I believed in the button, that changes the whole scenario. Though I can't think of a way for them to convince me of the button unless they give away they are some highly intelligent alien and thus giving away the plan.
But If for some reason I really believed it, and circumstances were to only make my life a little more comfy, no I would not push the button. Now if they were to manipulate my life in such a way that it put someone I love in a life ending position if I did not push the button I "think" I may push the button, but even then I'm not sure I could live with making a decision like that if I knew I was possibly causing the death of an innocent. So I'm not sure where my breaking point might be to push the button to be honest.
I would push it only if I knew it would only kill people who loved "The Box."
shareEven without seeing the movie my answer would be hell no.
Either the person making the offer is full of crap, nuts, or is somehow legit and I actually kill somebody. Any way you slice it, no good can come from this man, his money, or his box.
you already pushed the button by electing bush or obama.
i mostly will not be able to answer your reply, since marissa mayer hacked my email, no notification
Flapdoodle?
Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.
If I honestly believed someone would be harmed by my pressing of the button, no. If I thought otherwise, I would press it not for the money (which I would figure is fake anyway) but just to give the middle finger to superstition.
Originality needs a reboot.
I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to live with unjustifiably killing someone. And no amount of money is justifiable.
shareBefore I started coming on the Internet: No, no way
Now I've seen the pond life that is widespread in society: Yes definetly
