If you had a Death Note, would you use it?

[Sanctified Absence 126]

Accepting the punishment of purgatory in return for the power to better the human condition? I would most likely use it and to begin with I would use it for good, but as we all know, power corrupts.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

If I had a Death Note, I'd only use it to kill people who I truly believed should die, like a serial killer or terrorist. I'd never use it simply for revenge.

[Tigerpop198 696]

Yes, I would use it for world domination, and supreme power.

[ninjamon102938 222]

I don't know, I wouldn't want to turn into a total nutjob like Light or write someones name in it and eventually regret it

[Fluttermena 1,223]

Soooo, are you guys joking or are you really as messed up as Light?

I'd probably use it for practical reasons, I don't believe that anyone deserves to die, nor do I consider anyone to be unworthy of being respected an cared for as a human being, no matter how evil they are. I can however think of some situations where killing could be necessary.

I really don't see the point in mass-killing people who are in prison and don't pose much of a threat. It would be less harmful and more productive to kill key people who have a lot of power and influence and use it to harm others. That would cause less deaths and prevent a lot more harm in the long run.

 

The way I see it, a murderer who understands the seriousness of the act is much easier to forgive than an average person who thinks some people deserve to die. It reminds me of that scene from The Dark Knight where the normal folks are behaving like complete savages while the criminals are the reasonable ones.

[Pixy Belle 102]

I would use the Death Note. Not just on criminals, but also for a few other people I just don't like.

 

I'd use it the way Light did except for the part where I'd kill my boyfriend or family.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

No whom am I to be the judge the life of another regardless of their actions? Maybe that's just me but I don't think it is justifiable to wish death to those you "believe to be dead"...  What makes you any different then them? 

 

But I have to say it would be a good intention to stop those who cause harm unto others.

[The Cynical Lone Wolf 615]

Yes I know of few hurdred people who need to die off this world

[Megas 27,649]

I'd take a potato chip and it. After that, I don't know

[Gravelord Neat-O 305]

psh yeah prolly, i'd use it for fun though. I wouldn't try to become the new god or something, prolly use it on people i don't like (obviously).

[Midnight Dragon 264]

Don't put that thing near me...first some of my relatives would be dead, then all the prejudiced bigots, then most politicians...yeah, the human population would be really tiny by the time I was through.

[Crystallize 279]

Yes I would use it. I would just switch on the tv and kill off criminals one by one while getting them to send a message before their death to scare off other no-gooders. Remove this world of scum. Taking Capital Punishment into my own hands. Don't act like you wouldn't murder a terrorist.

[Guest]

Of course I would. I would kill those I hate in the name of justice.

[takai 1,060]

Yes I would use it. A lot.

 

Revenge would be oh so sweet.

[Acchan 232]

I'd use it with caution. There is that whole commandment of "Thou shalt not kill." Yeah that's kinda a big one.

[Hawk Moth 390]

And how! I'd start with all the people who picked on me in middle school. I know who they are too because I marked them in my year book when I was 12 so I'd never forget or forgive. From there I'd take out everyone on death row, Guantanamo Bay, and work my way to the governments of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the leadership of Hamas and Hezbollah, and then I'd just watch the news for murderers.

[Serbon div 386]

YES I WOULD 100% There are so many political targets I could hit :3

[Wayzer 1,418]

I guess I won't unless I would get totally crazy because of something. It's not up to other people to judge over other people's lives IMO. That's why I'm also against death sentence

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

what? obviusly! all the politicians! then i'm good! for criminals the old electic chair work like a charm XD

 

nah just kidding... keep that thing away from me... i don't know what i could do with it.. probably nothing but being bipolar is not a good think

Guantanamo Bay was shut down. The rest? ... Hey, I got nothing.

[Celli 4,338]

I would not use it, because I would be no better than the person I'm using it on.

[ChoroChii 284]

I don't think that I would.

[catnet 9,356]

Unless I could use it on myself, I probably wouldn't even dare touch it. x3 My sanity and a lot of the world's population will thank me for that later.

 

... though it's certainly very tempting...

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Nope I wouldn't use it. Keep it away from everybody and the world would be a safe place.

[Koukatsu 5,899]

The short answer is yes, and I'll leave it at that.
