Poll: What would you do if you found a Death Note

[Adeptus Aspartem]

There's nothing "houlier-than-thou" about it - as people already proclaimed - but i'd burn it. Sorry, i can just cringe my teeth at people writing they'd kill of guy X or "all terrorists" etc.

How do you judge them? Based on what's shown to you by the media? Do you go talk to each of them? Or just write down anyone you don't like? "Get rid of all the criminals", which ones? Petty theft gets you killed? Robbery?
There are so many "if's" and "but's" and whatnot. Not a single person in this world has the capacity to make this judgment - specially not across the globe without ever even meeting or talking to your targets.

Burn it. Burn it, burn it, burn it. I'm actually appalled by the number of people who just would resort to cold blooded murder. Sorry, but i consider that totally mental.

I don't know. I could burn the thing but then again I could bury it somewhere and have a new apple addicted invisible companion. One of those. Might go for bury seeing as I could always burn it at a later date and hanging out with a Shinshigami could be fun, also I don't want it changing owners. And you never there could be some really extreme scenario that calls for the use of it.

Somehow I suspect that if I ended up with one, there'd be a lot of creationists getting struck by lightning and anti-vaxers dying from influenza.

Other than that, I'll echo what others have said about bumping off corrupt politicians and corporate executives.

I'd use it for personal gain, and for personal revenge. People in real life are nowhere near as smart as L or Near so I would never be caught or blamed. I'd have the eyes too.

I would certainly hold on to it, at least at first. You can always burn it at a later date, but you cannot bring it back once you've burned it.
