Well, I think Link pretty much nailed it, age difference or not. I don't know your circumstances, but I have dealed with death a lot, and I can confidently say I would not press the button unless it was me or my families welfare at risk. And if it was just me, I would not press it. A human life has no monetary value, and no matter how you perceive the actual cycle of things, a premature death is a sad day indeed, no matter the persons circumstances. So, if you think people are insane for understanding the value of a human life, that's pretty sad. I would say that 99% of people in the world's lives are more important than mine, and I would gladly stick my neck out for them.

I am naive when dealing with death. I won't deny that nobody I have ever known personally has died prematurely. Well, not somebody that was close to me, anyway. But I will stick to my answer, and the "Western luxuries" analogy. And I only made the "insane" comment because I felt Link had insulted me. Because he was acting like a little bitch. But I am inclined to trust your judgement, as you have more experience with the matter than me. But I still say the "Not even if my life depended on it" statement is pretty dumb.

You had already insulted me, and at least I was somewhat subtle about it. In other words, go fuck yourself.

I see your off to a great start since being unbanned. :lol:

Haha sorry dude no need to get all bitchy about it. The mental disorder comment was just uncalled for, is all.

What if the person is a newborn baby who could've gone on to invent a cure for cancer or a way to ensure Israeli-Palestinian peace without all these wars and yet leave both sides satisfied? For a few examples. One of the reasons why I personally value human life is the endless potential of any being, no matter what shape they may be in.

Under no circumstance would I press it, unless my life was threatened, and maybe not even then.

That's pretty dumb. You'll get it when you're older.

Link said:

In fact, most people would probably agree with me.

I'm pretty sure this thread disproves that little theory. You and Yuri practically stand alone here.

Link said:

On a related note,out of curiosity, do you have any kind of mental or personality disorder?

Was that intended to be some kind of insult? Are you trying to prove something? Like, was that supposed to lead up to some case against me?
No, no I do not. Yes, I know, hard to believe that not all realists are insane. In fact, if I were lower than I am, I might accuse you of being insane.

Whatever Shaw; I said I wouldn't press and I also think your slimeball asshole for just being like 'yep!' ...On the other hand if I pressed the button and Glen Beck died .... that's a different story.

I would push it. It would make me deserve whatever was coming because of it though. Wouldn't it be ironic if that one random person actually turned out to be you by chance?

And here i thought youd be crossing your fingers and praying to random deity's that it would be me.

Maybe, someone else probably could do that though. Not to mention that's a 1 in 7,000,000,000 chance. You'd have to be the most unlucky person ever.

I'm saddened by the fact that no one besides me views this as a valuable opportunity to press a big shiny, red button.
