Either way problems can and will crop up. If everyone likes you... chances are you might pick up a stalker or twelve. And if everyone hates you... chances are you might pick up a stalker... er, hitman or twelve.

However, I suppose with in going for fame, you'd at least (hopefully) have the law on your side should problems arise.

Infamy. More money, fewer idiots running around trying to take pictures of you.

Well, as long as it's not stupid infamy, like OJ Simpson or something.

I picked infamy because famous people are hounded for money and sex and stuff, but the infamous are feared and left alone!

I picked infamy because as Machiavelli would state, "It is better to be feared than to be loved." Hmmm...perhaps this is why the Mafia lasted for many years?

I chose infamy simply because fame seems to be lame in my opinion...... I like Infamy far better

Infamy. There is no good or evil. There is only power and those with the will to seize it for themselves.
