I don't care what it is in that 10%. 90% chance of death would be the deal breaker.

Hell yes I would take that chance, and I'm not the least bit suicidal. World peace means much more than one life ever will.

:surprise; I wasn't expecting to be the first "Yes," but I should have realized "Get someone else to do it" would appeal to all of the smarta$$es here :)

Edit: nice to see someone else stepping up to the (electrified?) plate.

In a world of peace, there are no contests. Everyone would be equally as beautiful in everyone elses eyes, anyway.

I wouldn't push the button because world peace is a farce. It is simply unatainable when one considers human nature. The only way there could ever be peace would be if certain populations were completely eradicated. Which populations would depend upon your perstpective. Genghis Kahn had the right idea of completely destroying and killing his enemy but there are too many socially liberal people in the world for that to ever be an option in modern times so a certain level of world chaos is assured into perpetuity.

Just because there's peace, doesn't mean there's plenty or prosperity, or happiness. When the grass has dried up and blown away, and bleached bones litter the landscape, and you just served your weaker children who didn't make it, to the stronger ones who might last a little longer, without telling them what it was, and that little Johny went to live on the farm, because in desperate times you have to make desperate choices, and the sentence goes on and on and on, then everyone will be too tired and hungry to fight. Then there will be peace.

Umm...if you are the lucky 10% to get world peace, you'd still be alive....

It's if you dont get world peace, you will die AND there still won't be world peace.
