The Big Red Button

The following presents you with a choice:

You walk into a room. For the purpose of this hypothetical scenario the location, features, and your familiarity with the room are disregarded, as otherwise things would become exponentially more complicated.
Now, in the middle of this ambiguous room is a Big Red Button. This Big Red Button is resting on a rather dull platform about 1.5m above ground. You have absolutely no idea what the button does, having never seen it before.

And now the question:
Do you push it? Why or why not?

Well its a big red button, but its red for a reason: So people can see it clearly and not push it because its obviously important because its red and all that funky jazzz. XD

So yea no. :P

Well it depends, if it is a shiny red button, yes, if not, no.

i'd push it several times just to make sure it was thuroghly pushed :)

Depends what type of button... does it click after you push it... or is it squidgy, shiny, flat, raised... ooh yay buttons ^_^ And what shape is it?

a big squishy one which clicks is shiny and shaped like a toaster

wow. which side of the toaster . BLATENTLY LEFT . CLICK IT CLICK IT CLICK IT

I like buttons.

what if the button said pull? woulf you still try to push?

mind blowing... :o

honestly....i'm a very curious person so i'd have to push it...it would probably end up doing something bad with my luck but meh....whatever lol.

Id take my usual attitude, whatever i don't gve a fufck if its bad its bad if its good itd good, so yeah why not

I would push it, then run like.. fuck, and escape before something fell on my head.. like ben :)

(that would hurt)

if it made the most annoying sound in the world when you pushed it then no but if something fun happend like i got fre money the yes

Well Bush is gonna kill us all with his big red button eventually so yeah why not. (Oh yeah why the fuck did Bush not sign the Kyoto agreement!?!?! Does he want us to have an Ozone Layer!!!!"

if i was in a closed room, and had absolutely no way out, then i would push the button.
if i could just walk out then i wouldnt.

lol just guessing but dat depends on what da button says

If it says DO NOT PUSH

if it says do not push, why the fuck would anyone push it :P ?

Because they are severly mental like oneself?

Or just hope it can end life, like oneself :P

Why did i say oneself, OH GOOD GOD omly rich people say that..

IM FILTHY STINKING RICH~11111

red means warning.
buttons do things.
doing something that someone would warn you about is bad.
so, curiosity would kill me

ditto

if it said "do not push this button" i wouldnt push it

So if a red button said jump off a cliff, would you? And deadloader dont answer that, or crofty

If it said "do not push this button" I would run really far away and throw a shoe at the button, then run like hell. And if the rainforest exploded or something I would just say "My shoe slipped".

if it red then i say NO, if it's green i say sure and if it black i say fuck ya.

lol

Hell yes I would push it only because the platform is 1.5 meters above the ground, anythig more than that is dangerous...

Sorry to bump an old topic, but this made me laugh my fucking ass off..
If it said do not push, I'd push it.

Thats what were here for

I just have to. I luv pressin red buttons!j/k
