I would use it to persuade Topaz Quasar to never start any more of his stupid polls. :))

- When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

lol Can't say I disagree with you there.

topaz quazar goes and does stupid threads and poles to try to piss people off

I'd obviously "persuade" the American Government to give up all its secrets about UFOs. Cause I wouldn't want to go into "Aggressive Negotiations" with my lightsaber :D

I want to use force fear!!! (w00t)

Sometimes it scares me when we think alike. In this instance I think it's more a case of common sense that most would have. :thumbsup:

Manipulate the British gverment.

At least when I begin to manipulate them, they might become a half-decent goverment.

Oh wow next brilliant poll! (w00t)

 

I'd manipulate microsoft and mindtrick Bill to give all his money to the third world and close xbox experiment BTW

HERMOCRATES:

Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks

of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned.

Manipulate your co-workers in order to get laid.

 

(Then after that little stir of chaos and unrest, manipulate the government and get laid again.)

Manipulate my FYP supervisor to give an A for my report, before making him jump out of the window.

Picking using it to get laid and actually mean it is more than a little pathetic...

While being a real Jedi Master? I guess it is, yes.

Force persuasion is not a universal power, it is a dark side power. Using it is no less immoral than any other kind of brainwashing or coercion.

 

The Jedi Order funded research that showed the long term psychological damage suffered by those who were subjected to this power, but of course the final report was suppressed.

Then how come in every jedi tries to use? Its not dark power and really is universal power. Its all matters how you use it. If I tell somebody to jump then they jump thats dark. If I use it to tell people stop selling spice and go home and rethink his life then thats light.

 

I'd bet on games and make key players lose bladder control at the key moments. :thumbsup:

Even if your intentions are noble, you're still forcing someone to do what you think is right, and who gives you the right to decide that for someone else?

 

Who knows what happened to the guy who was told to rethink his life?

 

What's the difference between 'Force Persuade' and 'Dominate Mind'? Nothing. Dominate Mind is just a bit more likely to work, that's all. But 'persuade' has nice, happy connotations, whereas 'dominate' has darker connotations of compulsion. Strip away the language, and the power itself is pretty dark, I think.

Force persuasion is a criminal practice. Jedi dogs should pay for this.

Why would anyone stop at taking over just one government? ;) I would take over the world. >_<

The woman outside the Koobah (sp?) building on Dantooine?

So the way Obi-One used it to get by the stormtroopers was evil? It can indeed be used for good or evil.

Hmmm, I'd convince Lucasarts to give us good, highquality games. Then I'd work on taking over the world, and probably get laid in the process. Hey, might as well have some fun in between saving the world!
