In what ways are you convinced?

Do you accept bribes? I easily get convinced by the puppy dog eyes but it doesn't mean I am easily convinced. I am open to bribes, I feel as if it was a advanced payment. I like getting rewarded so I go for it even with some uncertainty in my mind because I find it fun to be uncertain of things. I feel like it's an adventure to do something for someone. I don't really expect to get anything back. I do it for fun. How is your mom?

i don't consider convincing bribing. if the choice doesn't benefit me, it should at least not harm me. i don't lose some even if i haven't gained is all that matters to make my choice. also if i see the sincerity of the person asking then i might be convinced. and yeah you're right about the puppy dog eyes with the sweetest please you can ever hear, lol!

Sure you don't like bribe? When you cry you wouldn't like someone to give you an ice cream to distract you from your problem? I think that is nice.

If everyone accepted bribe except you, do you think you still won't accept it?

hahaha! just ice cream? cmon you can do better than that, i want chocolate, cake and ice cream. lol! seriously, that doesn't pass as bribing to me. the term sounds powerful that i think it has a negative implication in itself. bribing is giving something in return for a favor that would benefit only negative intentions (well, that's how i see it).i think the ice cream thing is better off as a friendly offer to help ease problem but not really a bribe :)

As far as accepting bribes in a job are concerned i can't and don't want to as i'm self employed.Some children have to be bribed to make them behave and study well.I'm against all form of bribery.I don't look at it like an adventure and anyone asking bribes to do his job repulses me.

Good evening dear Gorillafootprints925 ; ohh well i dont really think that bribery is the best solution to be convinced , even if bribery has existed from the creation of the earth , and Rome had the most corupted Politicians , as is goes for me , i have a big back spine , and i wont ever accept bribery for looking away from something that i have to look and report if anything going wrong.
Have a great evening dear friend

Well I don't just accept bribes I think first. Bribes are not good for government and the people but look at a kid crying, what do you do? I give it an ice cream as bribe so he wouldn't cry anymore.
