What advise would you give to someone who takes things TOO FAR or even TOO LIGHTLY?
What's, to you as well personally, a definition of "Kickback", and not just like in that Cabaret Voltaire song.
Why is it in some cases acceptable to pay off something as "fine" but in others its "bribery" and thus a "bad thing".
I know its a fairy-tale and what not, but where DID the magic come from in this movie?
No offense to anyone (and this isn't serious) but I don't always care if I am in the wrong or trollish or unpopular at
Meaning of "Whoever has the gold makes the rules" like Jafar uttered.
"Harry Potter" meets "Beauty and the Beast" meets "Beetlejuice" with a little bit of "Hugo" around it.
Given how cut off and inaccessible and creepy the castle was made out to be by the curse...
So, mild spoilers, his staff were not against Maurice staying but the Beast gets angry and imprisons him?
What would've happened if the prince actually DID allow the elderly lady to stay in the castle?

Its not me, that's for sure. :)
for matters that cannot be made up with money alone, and yes are pretty much as claimed by American Girl over here, looking the other way.
And with "Unlawful Entry" (1992) for example, well... It was that man's lawyer who offered for him to give that cop money. But the offer enraged him further. Also, I know he was a crazy obsessed psycho in that film, but what if money was what he really needed, would he accept it and move on?
P.S.S. Remember that Annie Lennox song "Money Can't Buy It"?
Also, and this IS a provocative AND sensitive issue, but I kind of wonder...
Besides some well KNOWN offenses and whatnot, what do you think about the fact that, well, yes, some crimes and misdemeanours ARE punished by imprisonment and others by fine alone, and what are the criteria and whatnot?
Also, with regards to jail... NOW, again, I KNOW its VERY provocative thoughts and I already anticipate a lot of people going "Well yes, if you can't do time, don't do crime etc" (I wonder though, if this "can't" and "don't want to" applies to like 90% of the world's population, right, I mean, who in their minds, normal and not, just like that "wants" to go to jail, right?) but I wonder... Can such prisoners, say for not severe offenses, or wrongdoings of a non-violent variety etc, actually be safe, as in, well yes, from other inmates and guards - and just because certain individuals CAN be out of order or brutal in any way, it doesn't mean they HAVE to, right? Oh but then, they do or may do it anyway, but even more than that...
Also, with regards to avoiding doing anything illegal or immoral or both, I myself have actually become a mental tiptoe walker and I am more than sure whatever 'wrong' I may have done in the past, well, in my nearly 38 years of living, I may at best pay off with a fine and whatnot, don't worry I haven't and never will [insert certain bits here].
P.S. 2 movie chatterer - here's a few examples of BRIBERY from MOVIES where characters found it offensive. "Nico" (aka "Above the Law") (1988) has one young man whom Steven Seagal is beating over drugs issue with his relative offer him money to keep him out of legal trouble, and he goes "You wanna bribe me man, huh?" and hits him afterwards. In "Unlawful Entry" (1992), Kurt Russell's character offers Ray Liotta's money for him to leave them alone and he says "A bribe, huh Mike?" and later gets into a hissy fit with him and threatens to kill him. Other films here and there had characters offer money but fo
Yeah, I thought so, but also, this is life in general, correct?
Pretty much official fine there. Bribery in other cases - where people state that you CANNOT make up for some misdeeds with money. And I wonder both why AND what do we all think of it in general.
I gather in general you don't know all that much about finances and bribery and fine not just rules but preferences and all, no offense to you movie chatterer.
The main gist of this was - why are for some infractions and offenses you CAN pay off/make up with money (commonly known as a "fine") but for others you CANNOT and if you do offer to do so, it would be seen as wrong and offensive (also known as "bribery") - why is all that, thanks.
Oh come on - and you can get it from the opening line. Really that clueless mate?
On a side note, it also seems to me like in this life, both the rich, and the poor, and also middle class etc, in one way or another, STRUGGLE for money, and all people have money-related principles whether they HAVE it or NOT. And no its "not a big mystery" or anything, but then again, to those aware and those are not, where does the truth lie in all of this, thanks.
