Drive home? Jesus Christ no, I would pay to be driven home, I'm a millionaire man!

1 in 6.797 billion chance ... pretty good odds

No, I wouldn't be able to enjoy spending the money if I knew it had cost an innocent life.

excatly

I'd have pressed it in a heart beat before I became a Dad, now I'm a different person. Imagine it was your son or daughter that dies.

ttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362478/
Saw a clip for this also when I went to the flics looks good.

I don't think I would be able to push it to be honest, it could be anyone.

Be careful what you read on the site if you want to watch the film, as the imdb often contains a lot of spoilers.

I couldnt enjoy the money so its a no from me.

I would if my life or my family were in danger, wouldnt hesitate if I had the strength or a suitable weapon, burglars or muggers as to be honest if they are doing stuff like that then society doesnt need them, trouble is its not usually the victim in a position to do the killing.

As stated, for a ****** or a corrupt leader.... YES !

For someone on here, NO.

P.S. If it came to "could you kill someone ?" face-to-face, I think we all have it in us, hopefully we never need to find out.

Interesting point - with a million pounds you could most probably save several lives (and still have a few quid to spare). So in the grand scheme of things, you are doing more good than harm!

I have been asked this before, and i suspect i could do it if wound up enough without any real trouble, BUT i also suspect i probably would have a hard time living with myself afterwards when i calmed down.

Plenty of trained soldiers who kill somebody, end up haunting themselves afterwards when the dust settles.....

Interesting question but no, a life of guilt and having most of my family feel disgusted at me isn't worth any amount of money unless you could use it to save lives as above.

As long as you are financially comfortable, getting a large amount of unearned money won't lead to long term happiness anyway.

The only noise possibly generated is wind resistance.

There, I have answered your age old question in a flash, please continue with the rest of your life.

Well there has to be something new out to generate some interest.

I think that doing crap re makes of classic films is just in bad taste. And more often than not they are much worse the second time around.

From what I understand after polling people who saw the film, 100% said yes if they knew that the person that would die was the Director...

There is always a catch. The person that dies will no doubt be the last person to push the button.

You take your cash and trot on but you've only got the time until the next greedy person pushes the button to enjoy it. Whether you'd be told that or not is different matter. I'm sure knowing you were on borrowed time could make things a little stressful!
