Supposed a homeless guy came up to you, opened a box, and gave you a button on a little remote. This button is red and shiny. He claims that when pushed, it instantly destroys every human being on the planet, including you. There's no cool looking explosions, just everyone falls over (or doesn't if they're lying down) and death takes them. Of coures there's no gaurantees, maybe the guy who gave it you is just some nutcase. Then again, maybe this guy is right. Perhaps you won't push it now, tomorrow, or untilthe last minutes of your life. The question is: would you ever push the button?

I'd san ban those who votes 'Yes'. They're thinking in the wrong direction and their mind is too violent.

I would threaten the US government for 20 billion dollars.
would there be an incentive to? i can't think of why anyone other than....i dunno, a two year old, that would...

Okay, I propose that you be banned for no reason at all. Does that also make less than a grain of sense?
...
Sure, I'll push it. Maybe not yet, but some day.
I might if there was a cool explosion or something but there isnt so its pretty much useless id sell it to al quida for like $50
Why would anyone actually want to push it, Moose?
Even if you plan to suicide, you probably won't want to kill your loved ones as well, so the only kind of person who'd vote 'Yes' is either a crazy maniac or someone who thinks he's funny and is not.
did somebody say blackmail?

I would destroy the button itself, or hide it where nobody could ever find it.
That whole "blackmail" idea is brilliant. Except I'd probably never push it if they called my bluff.

I am the only one yet to say yes. Before you start arguing, I thought of this poll this way. I thought this can get rid of all the dirty scums of the world like Bush and Saddam. But this doesn't really develop violence. People fall down and die. Not everyone in the world is my loved ones and I hate most of the people anyways.Don't diss the Easy Button!

I would...If I had a plan to revive everyone and bring a hot girl back to life

Life is too good to leave it.
I won't push the button. Why would I want to exterminate man kind? But I can act like a crazy person and demand ransom and if I don't get the money I "push" the button

I wouldn't do it. I care too much.
Besides, what if it were a trick? What if the button only killed the pusher? The pusher would have no way of knowing if the rest of the killing was actually carried out.
HELL YA I'D PUSH T3H BUTTON!
Ok Moose... I'm worried about you... exactly what are you planning?
Of course I wouldn't. Don't need to whipe off the human race. Sure, we do cause a lot of problems, but still, we're the only animal capable of achieving the technologies we have. This isn't being racist/against their religion and I'm not being funny here, but keep that button away from the Middle East.. some extremeists over there would do anything for Allah... including the WTC 5 years ago. Notice how I said SOME, not ALL which are including the extremeist muslims, ones who would kill for their God. Sorry, lost it there.
Moose, didn't I ask you this question some many months ago? (Maybe it was someone else)
I remember the response: I'll push it on my deathbed.
Well...since I pushed "vote" before I read what button I was pushing...I'd say yes.
[moose is a bad influence on all of us]
Maybe Moose is planning to create this button!

and he's going to do what the final result of the poll says!
No.
I try to not interfere with that type of stuff, just let the world go as it is.
But who knows, maybe if we all die, Gorrillas will learn how to play SC!
AHHH!!! Some people actually voted "yes"?!?! Okay, I could understand if it didn't take the life of the button-pusher too (although you would be rather lonely), but the instant death of all humanity!?!? C'mon...

If they ever do while were alive, they'll enslave us all and put us all on giant hamster wheels to power their computers

- "Planet of the Ape Nerds!"
Well, if you did push it, whoever gave you that button must be stupid.
There, I made the question a little bit more interesting.

Wouldn't you feel horribily bad and sadistic if you press it but nothing happened? Wouldn't you be like, "Oh man.. I pressed a button that could have killed everyone.. what the hell is my problem? Why did I take that chance?!"
Yeah.. Cheeze would rip it open and reprogram it, teh n0rd
