A thread about killing people for greed....cmon GD, seriously

You can’t wipe out half the planet.  Push #10 drops about an eighth of the total population, push #11 kills everybody including you.

How many communists and people who hate Americans are there? That how many times I would push it.

Well, I can't put an exact number on it, but if you're reading this post, you better hope that I'm the random that gets aced on my first push cause I'm going to hit that button till my finger falls off.

FPNI

That was made into a stupid movie

That said, zero

Go watch the movie and see what happens when they push the button

12 times really fast and I'm a trillionaire, the first ever. 13 times and I'm still one after taxes.

13 out of 6 billion? I'd play those odds.  Sure.

But don't think I'd stop mashing the button at 13 pushes.  Just 2 more pushes puts me in a wealth category that is incomprehensible and with incomprehensible wealth comes nearly total power.

With roughly 750 trillion dollars to do whatever I want with, or 10x that, I just buy every Congressman that can be bought, outright, with cash,  and thus set the stage.

The stage for what?

Systematic and legalized elimination of all the most dangerous advocates for socialism and communism, globally.

Eventually I am functionally the world's dictator but a truly kind and benevolent one, if you are for truly free trade, prosperity by capitalism, and the virtues of education and hard work as a means of success.    If you're a freeloader and thing someone owes you a living or that anybody is ENTITLED to the product of the education, skills, and work output of another person, it will go badly for you.

Liberalism will simply be chased back under the rock from whence it came.  Possibly dodging gunfire while heading for said rock.

Oh, and if you swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help you God, you get free weapons.  Fully automatic ones and they're yours to keep.    You'll be considered to be member of the armed forces even if not assigned any formal duties.  An auxiliary...armed with MGs and permitted to volunteer for any training you want, and you may then volunteer for duty after receiving the training.   Yes, that comes with an income.    You'd be part of a paid volunteer service system with no mandatory age of retirement and your level of participation is mostly up to you.  You can enter active duty or withdraw back to auxiliary status at will.   But you would potentially be subjected to call-up to training and active duty for any reason that may require military action.

Hookers and blow

Lighten up.......it’s GD........sorry I wasn’t thinking of you when I had Cindy.

105 people die on the earth each minute. Time it well between pushes and you could get your money guilt free.

Less pushing, more reading.

12 pushes really quick aren’t even possible, best possible outcome would be that you survived the first 10, but 11 and you’re a dead man (along with everyone else on the planet) who had $10 million dollars right before you offed yourself.

What happens if Michael J. Fox gets a hold of the box? We are all fucked.

I'd push it 10 times.  Then tuck my kids in and read them a bedtime story.

OP changed the rules. It was one push = one death, how many times do you push it.

Push?  What happens when I tape it down?

I'd push it real good, that's all I know.

I wouldn't truly know what I'd do until I actually had the button

If it were liberals who died I'd push it for free, constantly  

Poll fail, gotta exclude yourself otherwise you run into too high odds killing yourself.  Self preservation triggering before seeing how high we'll really go.  

once, it would let me live out my final years in peace and solitude.

I'm old, curmudgeonly, and have no use/tolerance for most humans anymore.

Now if the question would have been dog rather than human my only choice would have been zero.

Once, but just enough so that I got half a million and someone just got really sick.

Like a peaceful poof out of existance death, or acid falls from the sky and turns them into soup?

Yeah...I'd destroy the button, and if not possible, I'd hide it.

"The Box".

This film had so much potential that was pissed away. The shitty ending ruined any redeeming qualities that may have been present.

Have you seen this video?

The rules never changed. Just your reading comprehension.

In/out forever.

9x.

That’s like a 1/100 chance of anyone I know falling victim

Not more than a thousand times, that would be greedy.

I don't like a whole lot of people, and for sure there are those who the world is better off without.  But I'm no murderer.  0.

Murphy's law says the with my luck, after the first push of the button I would die, so not worth the risk.

I was waiting for that.  

Couldn't chance the ones I love.

I'm playing drums on that mofo!

Zero.  Fuck Murphy.

life may imitate art, but sometimes it's shit imitating life.

going with this, having a conscience can be a bitch sometimes.

I'd push it the most times if I was rewarded, randomly, only 1 in 10 times. And only if the reward were a block of laboratory rat chow.

Of not for

Jackhammer that thing. Time for the cockroaches to rebuild the planet that will still eventually die.

Up to 9 you should be pretty safe, at 10 there’s a good chance you or someone you know will die.

I’ll trust your math.

I’d push it 11 times.

You’re right....i will shut up and color

I changed the rules because the OP's version is stupid.

New rules, the ones I played by:

Every push of the button kills one random person. One and only one per push,  never more, never less.

Every push of the button gives you 10X more money than the previous push.  The first push gives you 10 dollars and kills one person.

So I kill 15 random people worldwide and end up incomprehensibly rich, 1000x+ a trillionaire.

I then use the riches to undo much of the evil in the world.   Kind of a Thanos scenario, but far more selective of whom is eliminated, and why.

It'd go badly for communists, socialists, and those who strongly support those things.   With unlimited funding, the conservative armies I'd raise and train would run roughshod over their enemies and the rules of engagement would be "Kill all that oppose you and don't sweat the details".  It'd be ugly, violent, brutal, and an utter bloodbath, but when it was over the sun would rise on a world free of the evils of socialism and communism.

The general rules for all to live by from that point would be fairly simple:  
Do no harm to others against their wishes.

Mere possession of anything, even weapons, is never forbidden to any free man.

Punishment is only for ACTIONS, not ownership of a THING.

Education is free up to the high school level,  beyond that point you must earn it by scholarship or paying tuition.

For those who intend to enter service to the government, the government will pay your post-secondary tuition as long as your academic performance meets with good performance standards.

Laws are adjusted so that free trade is not restricted by unnecessary regulations that restrict progress or give economic advantages to some organizations while locking others out.

Voting is an EARNED right, it is not automatic, nor is citizenship in any country.   There is no birthright citizenship.
Citizenship is earned by two or more years of civil or military service rendered to the country you declare allegiance to.  
At the age of 18 you may declare said allegiance, to any single country of your choosing.  
If you are not IN that country, that country will pay to have you brought over after you volunteer for service with it.

After five years you may switch allegiance.   You may switch allegiance every five ears if you choose to.

Immigration law is strict and consistent for all countries.  Illegal immigration is punished by ten years at hard labor for the first offense, with no compensation save for the prison clothes on your back and the subsistence food you are fed daily. (Boring, but nourishing.)   Second immigration offenses are handled with a quick trip to the wall full of bullet holes and posts to tie you to.   There's no fucking around with illegal immigration.

Crime and punishment:  This is controversial.  There is no imprisonment save for short term holding cells.   All punishment is either death or a set number of lashes delivered across your back via a whip in skilled hands.    Some people don't mind taking a few months break in a not-all-that-bad jail cell.  But people will go to great lengths to avoid doing stupid shit that gets their back flayed open several times.    Yes, corporal punishment works, and we'll use what works.

Only the truly insane will be confined.   Corporal punishment or death will deal with all criminal cases in which case the mental status of the criminal is not in question.

Do I get to choose? 535 million dollars...

Utilitarianism is for mental midgets and the morally corrupt. It is the philosophy of leftism.
