EVERYBODY'S usefulness ends with that psycho. At the rate he was going he'd depopulate the world, because nobody would measure up.
HE"S NOT A PSYCHO!!!!!!!!!! If he's one then you have to call me one too. I also deny that I and/or Light are sociopaths, as some here, have claimed. Though there is some evidence to back that up. Not much, but some...
And of course he wouldn't depopulate the world. Almost all people wouldn't have a use to begin (being so weak and useless) with so why would they eventually need to be disposed of? It's only those with unique skill sets and a certain intelligence/demeanor/personality or whatever you want to call it. Those are the ones that should choose their allegiances more wisely.
Well, judging by Takada's announcement that those who didn't use their abilities for the good of society would be a target (and Light's "it's too soon") one has to wonder where his pogrom would end.
His standards were way higher than a vast number of people could possibly measure up. I mean, at some point he'd target people who were rude to others on message boards. He wanted a world populated by only 'kind, earnest people' - rude message board posters don't fit in with that standard.
Not casting any aspersions here, but I've seen a LOT of rudeness in message boards and comments to news articles and youtube videos. They would be targeted eventually.
There is no advantage to having any allegience to Kira if one doesn't measure up to HIS standards. That "it's too soon" comment he made was very telling.
I agree with what Light wanted, I really do. I want the same thing, but death is far too harsh a punishment for most of the crimes, major or minor, that he was dealing out death to.
Light was a character consumed with hate and contempt for others. I do everything I can to help people, I take in strays and provide a place to live for friends in need. That said, I don't think even I would measure up, because sometimes I DO lose my temper. Sometimes I AM rude. Even though I sympathize with what he wants, I know I would be a target depending on what kind of wild hair he gets.
You seem to bring that up almost once a day. But you have absolutely no idea what it meant. You simply have a guess as to what it means. And how that revolves around Light discarding people he's used is beyond me. Do you really think he'd kill everyone? If so, then you still don't understand Light Yagami.
His standards weren't that high. He just wanted bad people to go away and have good people continue to do good deeds. How is that high standards? He wouldn't eventually go around punishing people for message board posts. You have no basis for this. You have no idea if they would be targeted. They probably wouldn't since Light left the media alone. Misa and Mikami killed those types, but not Light.
Not any advantage that YOU would see anyway. And again, your argument is based off this one thing was mentioned very quickly then discarded and never expounded upon. You have no clue what it could have meant. I think it meant that people who were going to sit back and let evil happen were going to be punished. People who would let bad people have their way or people wouldn't care to help those in need from bad guys trying to hurt them. That type of lazy.
Yes, people living in a cushy society often find extreme methods displeasing to them. Moral standing aside, perhaps one day you'll be pushed to the point where you feel there is no longer a choice. I'd love to be there to watch your ideals come crumbling around you. The looks on people's faces when they find how far they've fallen...exquisite. I'll never tire of seeing it or of being the one to make that happen.
He neither hates nor finds contempt in all others. He most likely pities them (I'm talking about the faceless masses, not the people who came after him). Seeing them trapped in a rotten world, suffering at the hands of wickedness. Pity coupled with a certain arrogance would be what drives a person to decide to fix the problem in a way that they think is best regardless of what others think of it.
Ha ha ha! You'd be quite safe. If what you say is true, then probably safer than some others. Do you really think a temper tantrum would qualify? No. I'd actually be on the chopping block if Kira suddenly showed up. I'd have to move quickly to vanish off the Earth and leave no evidence behind that I existed. Then I'd have to hunt Kira down.
