Have you ever paid a bribe?

[PRC]

Paid several... one in Mexico, a few in Indonesia and a few in Malaysia and Thailand.

[Ed Anger]

I plead the FiF.

[CountDeMoney]

Nope.  Never paid one and never taken one in any profession where it would be illegal.

[jimmy olsen]

Nope. Never have, not even in the Philippines.

Closest I've come is buying a drink for the karaoke DJ so I don't have to wait as long to sing.

To those who have, I imagine the recipient makes it pretty clear he wants a bribe?  I ask because last time I was in Jamaica I was sitting on the beach at night with a Dutch guy who lights up a splif.  Copper materializes out of thin air, Dutchman chucks the splif in the sand.  I start schmoozing and brown nosing the copper when this other dimbulb I'm sitting with blurts out "if there's a fine we could pay it now, to you."



I gotta figure that's not the way it's done.

Copper liked my brown nosing and let Dutchy go with a warning to smoke in the hotel, ,not on the beach.

Why no data for so many western countries?


I'm quite afraid of corruption and bribery. Mostly because I hate spending money. But also because I doubt I'd be very good at picking up on the signals that its what I have to do.

I imagine they're less of a priority for Transparency International.

[Iormlund]

No. Unless girls count.

[Razgovory]

Nope. It's just very uncommon here in the US.   Odd that they didn't have any data on the US, UK, France, Russia or China.  I'm under the impression that bribery is extremely common in Russia, fairly common in China and not unheard of in France.

[Pedrito]

It's incredible that after 27 posts Italy isn't even nominated

Bribes as a way to ease one's everyday work, it never happened to me; in middle east countries for Holiday, yes every time I go there.

Austria needs to be light orange, I think.
