I am happy to see that no one has mentioned mods.  I was worried that they might make the list.  I vote for slow drivers in the fast lane.

All BS aside, No.

One God is plenty and in His infinite wisdom, He allows us all to continue to exist. I do not wish to follow the folly of Satan.

I would use the button as much and as often as possible against anyone that might even remotely have anything against ME!

Given this thought experiment - if there's one button, there might be another one.  If not as soon as I get my button, probably soon after.  I want to make sure I get the guy who doesn't like me [b]before[/b] he presses his button.

Nothing judgmental about it - simple self-defense.  Isn't that the President's policy?  If it's good enough fot him, it's good enough for me.

Is there a button next to it labeled "UnDo"?

I originally got the idea for this thread from an old episode of the 80's Twilight Zone remakes. This man would appear at your door and offer you the chance to be rich beyond your wildest dreams. All you had to do was push this little red button located on a box that he handed you and he gave you about a week to stare at this box and decide. The catch was, if you pushed the button, somewhere in the world someone you had never met would die. You'd be rich and he'd then take the box away. It turned out that the person chosen to die was always the last person who pushed the button.

So then the other day I was watching some news report about Al Qaida and I was thinking "man it would be nice to be able to wipe all terrorists off the face of the earth with the push of a button" (not the nuclear button). And then when I decided to post this thread I thought I would make it all encompassing and not limit it to a specific group, race, etc., to see what happened.

My sentiment; It's a serious decision because God states He will recompense and that it's not up to me to enact vengence. Knowing myself however, I would probably violate this and wipe out all terrorists and dictators like Saddam, realizing that it would be against His will and that I might have to pay for my decision in the end. Why would I do it? Vengence, compensation, protection of the innocent, whatever.

I would use my power of vanishment for GOOD. The first group that got out of line.> BOOM.

lets see how long that would last.

Once the first group is gone. Everybody will see I wasnt kidding and should fall in line with the program.

Everybody thats left will be in fear of me doing it AGAIN, I wont let they know it was only a one time shot.

Should get atleast 10 years of peace out of the whole plan, No more that 10 possible less than 3 years of peace.

why does everyone think that this is a faggish troll thread? Why is it so horrible to vote: YES?

If you vote: yes for a race then you need help. but if you vote: yes for a group then your ok. I mean just imagine if at the touch of a button every anti gunner on the planet was gone. maybe not all but at least the extremists. All of our troubles would be over.

Uh, unless I'm totally whacked out BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME THING.

A group of people identified only by their similar beliefs vs. a race of people identified only by their skin color/religeous beliefs/geographical location....what is the difference.

HELLO, are you serious?
Do you think before you type?
Do you honestly not see the similarities to Hitler?

A group can be anyone.  A group could be Bin Laden and his inner circle, Saddam, a bunch of rapists, Million Mom March, California Democrats, etc.

The premise of the question is not racist, it is a hypothetical anyway.

Besides, as to the "will of God" arguement, if someone sent you this magical button, may that not have been the "will of God"?  Remember, God crushed the Cannanites before the Hebrews could take control of the Holy land.

What if pressing the button is in the "will of God", and you don't do it?

Food for thought.

I'd press the button to kill Satan and his demons.  That way they couldn't use people to promote their evil, socialist, communist agenda!

Nope. There are Good people and a***oles  in every group/race/class unfortinately its usually that later, but even so, I would not remove an entire group over some not so good people.

And so would I, the big difference with this analogy is Satan and his demons are not people they are spirits and our "buttons" don't work on them.

Thankfully Jesus gave us other means by which to deal effectively with them.

You are damn right I would hit the button, and keep hitting it.
For all you lovey-dovey types I am a racist. I freely admit it. Many years ago I was not but seeing as I have been screwed over by "the dark side" so mant times I have slowly learned the reality of it.
As for first to mention Hitler, has everyone forgotten Stalin, Muhamed, The Inquisition, The Japs versus China, Korea, Phillipines etc. during WWII. I can go on for a hell of a long time here folks. The world is ruled by hate and to deny it only sets you in the way of its destruction.
I wish so much there could be peace but I know it will never happen, never has, never will be. I have history on my side here. How do you wish to prove omnipresent love peace and happiness is possible?

Why be a racist?
If you kick a dog and it keeps coming back you have yourself one damn stupid dog.

I'd push the button on all of Islam. The violence in the world would drop by 70% overnight.

Just one button? CRAP, it would take me years to finally figure out which group I despise the most, I sure wouldn't want to rush and make a hasty decision, for fear that I would later regret it, but if I were pressed to make a quick choice, I think I could do well with just one, really quite easy, now that I think about it, get rid of ALL people who have no respect for Freedom, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Gees, that was easy [:D]

i'd use the button to eliminate everyone who thinks that a religion, such as Islam, is the sole cause of much of the violence in the world, and believes the world would be more peaceful without the followers of that religion.

No one can deny that Islam is a religion of hate and that it advocates the killing of all those who do not conform. It's in their Koran. It's all I ever hear them talking about. I've never even heard of a single incident where a Muslim helped out his neighbor in need. If it's a religion of peace and love, where's the peace, where's the love?

give me a break. everyone's been ranting about the 'evils' of Islam ever since it became the 'in' thing to do about a year ago. i can argue the point that it isnt founded on hate and killing, but it would be pretty inappropriate for this thread. plus, such a debate would only end in more name calling (specifically, you calling me a troll).

anyway, the point of my post is that its stupid to assume that if you eliminated a religion, somehow that would greatly decrease violence. people dont go blow themselves up because of some book. there's always some larger problem behind it, and they're using their religion for some higher justification to killing. muslims or not, the terrorists would still have the same hatred toward the US.

Oh, this could get fun.
Ok, I have the power to make a group, one group, any group, just vanish.
I will assume I have the power to completely subjugate two groups, and make four more do my bidding, and influence eight more towards my point of view.
I won't make anybody vanish unless they get real out of hand, popping nukes and other annoying distractions.
I would set the antigunners and the NeoNazis against each other.  Thus, both of those groups will leave us normal people alone.  I would persuade the 88s that the antigunners want to take their guns because of their unpopular political opinion, and I would persuade the antis that the 88s want to kill them all because of their unpopular political opinion, and are jumping on their motorcycles and coming with all means of guns, knives, brickbats and two by fours.  The anti's would legislate the 88s out of existance, and the 88s would kill all the antis.  Job done.
Then, I would compell the NAACP and the KKK organizations to sue each other, both lawsuits stating that hate groups should not have any legal rights.  Both suits get the rubber stamp.  Job done.
