Now, I don't make this thread to dicuss the Death Note series. Saw the 2nd episode tonight, thought it has been excellent so far, but my question goes beyond that.
If oyu had your own Death Note, would you use it? How?
(Basically, it's a notebook. You write a name, picture their face, and they will die within minutes. You can add the cause of death, or let it be a sudden heart attack.)
It's up to you. Do you destroy the notebook, and "leave well enough alone", or do you take it upon yourself to be a dealer in death?
Think about it. In one swift motion, Bin Laden is gone. You can topple the Top Ten Wanted List in a lazy afternoon.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

Destroy it*. I think anyone who doesn't has some real issues.
After writing the names and pictures of all the members of 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys of course. What!? The late '90s sucked because of them ;D

I would be so evil with this.
Just think if a girl says no to you just write down her name with cause of death as Smurfed to death by me! then I still get the girl and she is taught the lesson that no one says No to Mr. Roberts!
Plus Alot of people annoy me so population control wouldn't be an issue.

If I had such a book, it'd go a long way in convincing me there were divine forces. It'd also make me think I was granted the book.
I don't think I could resist it.

I am far, far too evil for this to be a good thing.

I would
*spoiler*
Probably use the book to strike fear into the hearts of criminals, and rid the world of many criminals, much like the protagonist of the story. You have no idea how refreshing it is to see a main character so quickly embrace power, and not mope and whine. No "Spiderman waaaaah" moments.
*end spoiler*

Hmm, this could be like a burn book.
I think I would go power hungry... and hit someone influential to send a message to everyone else in the world that I was a force to be reckoned with.
And then never again write a name in the book. Just use it to intimidate others. As far as who that first name would be... that would be a tough one. I don't think I could consciously take away someone's life on a whim... so I would have to have a shot first.

That's the thing, I sometimes feel like I have it in me to see a man die by my action.
My first one would be to kill the man who murdered Kitty Genovese.
The idea that the man could walk free in January '08 is a disgrace.

One thing that I do not get yet, but if no names are written down does Death not have a job? Also does the death have to happen within a couple of minutes? I mean, just having people die instantly would not have the same effect on those whose behavior the note holder would like to modify through fear as, say, death through ebola infection, starvation, exposure, or a slow, drawn out MRSA or cholera infection.

It was a new book, as it stated that the demons all have them, but that he asked for a new one, and dropped it on purpose for laughs because he thinks humans are entertaining. You can only cause deaths, instant ones. You can't like give guys the flu. |

You could get pretty creative with the killing. If you REALLY want people to know someone's behind it, make it blatantly out there, like having them die of archaeic diseases that should not still be around, or of violent aneurisms. |

Jerk #1 - death by having his spine ripped out by Sub-Zero Jerk #2 - death by having his soul sucked out by Shang Tsung Jerk #3 - death by being doused in regurgitated stomach acid by Reptile Jerk #4 - death by having skin flayed off by Willow Rosenburg Jerk #5 - Death by having a chestburster xenomorph coming out of his chest. Jerk #6 - death by vomiting up his intestines You know, I think that I could get some attention with instant deaths.  |
