herooftime1000 Posted December 11, 2008 Would you rather be loved by all the people and receive gifts from the loving masses or would you be feared and force people to give you gifts. Either way, you get gifts. ** 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted December 11, 2008 Pffft, that's not much of a choice. Honestly, who would pick fear if you could use love and get the exact same results? Someone who's pretty crazy I guess. 0 Share this post Link to post
Creaphis Posted December 11, 2008 I'd prefer to have everyone held in a state of amusement and confusion. Like if Willy Wonka was the dictator of the world. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted December 11, 2008 I love everyone so therefore I prefer to be loved. People giving you gifts out of fear seems so fake. I'd rather someone give me a gift because they wanted to, not because they needed to. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted December 11, 2008 Looking at it from a completely selfish and utilitarian point of view, if I'd be feared by everyone chances are there would be someone who'd want to off me and has the means to do so. If, on the other hand, I was loved by everyone there technically shouldn't be anyone with a thing against me, and therefor not wanting to kill me. Yeah, it's a pretty easy choice. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mithral_Demon Posted December 12, 2008 Hmmm..... It's better to be FEARED then LOVED. Reason- Would you like to live with people crowding you all day long, no personal space, no time with anyone alone because everyone else is wanting you. If you go living with people FEARING you, then you won't have to worry of personal space and what not problems. Think it thoroughly, you will be better feared then loved. 0 Share this post Link to post

Steeveeo Posted December 12, 2008 I'd rather be a mix of both; people would either love to fear me, or fear to love me. It would be a very entertaining combo IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted December 12, 2008 I'm not cute or personable enough to be loveable - that's one option ruled out. OTOH - I'm not yet intimidating enough to be feared - need more practice. Poll should have included a "Meh" option. Patrick Pineda said:you assholes better fear me, i work for a collections agency! It's the fear factor that kept us from lynching you when the Cacowards were delayed. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted December 12, 2008 You better love me bitches, or prepare to fear me. D: Seriously though. Anyone who choose fear for anything but lulz... got some sort of mental condition. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted December 12, 2008 Ah I'm tired of being feared. It doesn't work out so great, since the people that should fear me are too stupid to. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kyka Posted December 12, 2008 I guess the theory is that if people are afraid of you, then that means you have some sort of control over them (like even in families, emotional control and shit like that) and then you don't have to fear them. So lots of people kind of want others to fear them, even if its in just subtle ways. 'Course it never works out that way. Fear in others just breeds fear in you. And love? Love needs too much trust, mostly. Fear is much easier to achieve. Loved or feared? Meh. Loved obviously, even if it's not very likely. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted December 12, 2008 I would have to say loved. Who the hell would want to be feared... Like kristus said, you'd have to have some sort of mental condition. :p 0 Share this post Link to post

Nuxius Posted December 14, 2008 Neither. I would prefer to be admired and appreciated by everyone. That is, unless I lived in a world where I was the only guy and was surrounded by beautiful, non-clingy, non-psycho women. Then I'd want be loved. :p 0 Share this post Link to post
