Hmm, never watched Death Note but as I understand it, you write in how, when, and where somebody dies and they die that way?

Put my name in it as dying at the age of 150 doing something awesome.

Barney and Friends die first, then the people who imagined that unholy abomination, the cast, the collectibles, abstract concepts that allowed it to be created in the first place.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Hmm maybe it was a bad idea to make this thread.
The thread's very easy to make ITG statements expressing harm towards RL political figures.

The book makes it easy to be sadistic to kill horrid people especially legitimate terrorists to die embarrassing deaths like a heart attack after jacking it off to MLP.

I think if we are all being really honest-we would not just use the death note to get rid of "bad people" or "make the world a better place".

We'd use it to get rid of people we felt wronged us, people who we deemed our enemies or rivals. We would use it to get rid of competition for romantic entanglements, job openings, and prestige.

We'd try and get rid of people we disliked whom we didn't know due to politics or religion or rival sports teams. And without any risk(or well a much reduced risk) for getting caught, we'd grow addicted to the power that it allowed us to wield.

Problem with the "Death Note" is that you'll only be able to kill those you know of

If criminals and other scum figure out those who are more publicly known are the ones dying, they'll hide their identities and be discrete as possible

Pretty much this. It's nature is corrupting, not because of any mind affecting magic, but just because such power warps the mind. I mean, I'd start by knocking off the IRG and the adult Kims, but I don't know if I would stop there. I probably wouldn't.

Plus, you could get the wrong guys, how will you know for sure whether or not someone is truly guilty

Yeah I'd be up all night, and by the end of a week-I'd be a mass murderer.

It's the wet dream of spooks to get their hands on one for government sanctioned wet works. Once they get the name they plan it out for maximum effect.

Troublesome insurgent cell? The spooks get to work and plan out the assassination attempt in plausible fashion.

In the Death note-can't you also write down the cause of death? Which will happen IIRC in thirty seconds after it is written down?

It sounds like something that just about anyone would abuse with abandon.

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
me personally I'd only break it out against known terrorists and drug cartel members oh and the Zodiac Killer if he's still alive. Everyone else would be safe because I know the law of unintended consequences.

I respectfully disagree with this point, while I myself would probably burn it over using it. (Why would I trust myself with this type of power?) If I were to use it, it wouldn't be to kill anybody I personally have met or hold a grudge against as despite having a few people I dislike I have never wanted any of them dead as part of life is having enemies is something you must deal with.
