Depend on how desperate I am. It is easy for people to be righteous and say no when they are well off. What if you are from a poor country and your family is hungry. I been both rich and poor so I have live on both side of the fence. Remember this a millionaire who just give a thousand dollars to charity and a beggar who just stole a loaf of bread of the supermarket are not so different from one another. How people react all depend on the circumstance that they are in...

Depends on how severe the consequences were, what was at stake.
Would I accept a million dollar bribe that ensured a company got a contract that was worth multi-millions of dollars from the government, but meant that if I got caught would mean lots of years of prison time and a million dollar fine? Nope.
Would I accept a $50 bribe as a bouncer to let someone in at a nightclub? Yup. Not much harm, not much foul.

Never. If the bribe is aiming at preventing unjust harm of somebody or if it would lead to great joy without causing harm unto others then I would do it without a bribe. When I receive a bribe I destroy my soul. What would I gain if I gain the whole world and loose my soul.

A big NO.
It is a sin - earthly and heavenly.
It's like:
a) buying yourself [honour, dignity, honesty]
b) killing others by taking, throuhg bribe, what is theirs.
c) humiliating yourself
Don't forget that the upper hand is the best.

No, by definition a bribe is offered to someone to compell them to do something they wouldn't normally do. No thanks, if it means that much to someone that they want to cheat to get it, it means that much to the people they want to cheat,

Everyone has a price. The root of all evil is not money, it's the love of money.

Only if it protected me or someone very close to me.
