How many times, if at all, would you use "The Box"?

Re: How many times, if at all, would you use "The Box"?

I figured it out...

Step 1: Press that damn button until I have a enough money that I don't need the box anymore
Step 2: Destroy the box
Step 3: Undergo hypnosis to make me believe I got the money by investing wisely in the stock market
Step 4: every hot chick I see

Sounds perfect to me

sounds good to me also.

"I simply hinted that the extraordinary man has the right… that it is not an official, but an inner right to decide in his own conscience to overstep… certain obstacles, and only in case it is essential for the practical fulfillment of his idea (sometimes, perhaps, of benefit to the whole humanity)… In short, I maintain that all great men or even men a little out of the common, that is to say capable of giving some new word, must from their very nature be criminals-more or less, of course. Otherwise it's hard for them to get out of the common rut…"

"It was like this: I asked myself one day this question- what if Napoleon, for instance, had happened to be in my place, and if he had not had Toulon nor Egypt nor the passage of Mont Blanc to begin his career with, but instead of all those picturesque and monumental things, there had simply been some ridiculous old hag, a pawnbroker, who had to be murdered too to get money from her trunk (for his career, you understand)… Wouldn't he have felt a pang at its being so far from monumental and… and sinful, too?…It would not have given him the least pang, that it would not even have struck him that it was not monumental…He would have strangled her in a minute without thinking about it!"

Think of most of the "great" figures in history.. what's a little blood of the innocent when it really comes down to it?

I'll admit, I'm a very kind person, but I have lack of morals at times. I'd probably hit it a couple times a month. I've already made parts for Caterpillar bulldozers that I'm sure have been used to plow under refugee camps on the other side of the world. If I don't know who's dying and if I don't hear about them dying, it won't weigh on me too much at first.

For $1,000 a pop and someone I don't know dies. Part of me says press the enough times to pay off my mortgage and then never again.

Re: How many times, if at all, would you use "The Box"?

Well I already have regret about things I've done in life, so I'd get rich as I could in one sitting and call it a day. But thats me.

Here's a question though. What if someone very close to you were to die because someone else has said box. What do you do.


Would thier life be worth $1,000. Why would it be OK to get rich/pay bills off of someone else's expense, but feel pure hatred when it would happen to you.

Just something to think about before you answer it

You are right, my post before about the "turbo" button was pure sarcasm. The box in anyone's hands would be brutal, the box in the wrong hand would be a catastrophe and a weapon of mass destruction.

Imagine rocking your baby to sleep and some random person on the other side of the world presses that button. Or a Scientist is just about ready to make a breakthrough to help mankind and he's zapped away by the button.

Its much harder to imagine the effects of the box if another random person on the other side of the world has it. Your family would be in the "pool" of random people that the button would effect. If its some crazy bastard screaming "No Whammy!!!" pressing the button every couple of seconds, chances are you or someone you care dearly about is screwed.

but what happens if someone at your job gets fired and then they give you his job? do you not take the job because it negatively affects someone else, or do you get your paper? and i bet you would get mad if you got fired and someone else got your job as well.

its just stepping over the little people to get ahead, some people feel guilty, and some don't. me, i wear timberland boots to the oompa loompa factory.

Re: How many times, if at all, would you use "The Box"?

I'm not saying I'd feel bad and not push it cause what it might do, just saying it all depends on point of view.

Like I said at the beginning, I have guilt for things I've done anyway so why not get rich and at same time know the people close to me will be around to share it with me.

Although that could be a catch in its own. What if they found out how you got the money and didn't want no parts of you, that would be some frustrating stuff.

AS far as maybe someone who dies could be guy who was going to cure cancer, well maybe he was a guy who was going to start a war, or was some pissed off guy who was going to go on a killing spree. All depends on point of view.


Personally I'd get rich, not feel remorse,and enjoy life.
