Innocent people. I got a price for killing assholes.

Hmmm, if I certainly not have to deal with the consequence of seemingly immoral acts in exchange for money or other forms of payment, I would probably do it. The reason I probably haven't committed a violent crime yet is probably because I know I'll suffer the consequences.

I'm only human, but I don't do wrong things (at least not intentionally). And I would not take a bribe.
I'm... INCORRUPTIBLE.

Another interesting question: Would you give someone a bribe? ie: would you ever actually take someone up on the offers posted here?

Heck let's just hand out Death Notes and 100 Bullet-suitcases to everyone and see what happens.

The rules of a Death Note are vague. You could do a lot of good for people [and not the crazy lolz kill every bad dude fashion]. I mean if you can dictate how the universe acts [within possibility] prior to how the person dies, then you can like... make them win the lottery, make them donate it to charities, make them win the lottery again, give them a flawless bill of health, make them become the leader of a country and do good for it all, make them live for a hundred years, and then finally make them die in their sleep or something.

The rules of Death Note are that you can't make someone do something that's impossible, they can only do what's within their control. So you can't give them a perfect bill of health because they can't physically will themselves healthier.

You could make them donate to charity, but I don't think you could make them win it. You could also make someone stop being a douche I suppose.

Well, it can make someone get hit by a car, so it can potentially influence either fate or at least the actions of the driver. You could have the lottery commissioner rig it in addition I suppose.

My view on the car thing is that there are plenty of cars driving by all the time, it's easy for the hijacker to make himself get hit by one, subconsciously, without needing the car drivers to do anything.

Incidentally, if someone wanted to bribe me to do something innocent or something that I would want to do anyway, I would do it but wouldn't take the money.

Holy shit, Gin's invented a way to grab ass over the internet. This will make millions!

Also I haven't seen Death Note in a while, so my memory may be faulty. The "rules" are vague, dumb, and contradictory anyway. My rules are better.

Death Note is a weird experience for me. I love watching it but I hate how stupid it is. :lol:

It uses an online assbanking system.
It works on the same principle as Paypal, so I call it Buttbuddy.
