Plenty.
For one thing, users with negative karma are usually the ones who are really bad at judgement, hence why they're negative. It'd be really broken and suspect to abuse if karma meant you WEREN'T a part of the system and the people you downrep are.
For another, in a clean system, everyone would have 0 karma at the start. Read, not negative. Do not try to tell me that's negative, or I'm going to slap you with a math lesson.
And one more thing. I can see people asking for downreps instead just so they can spread karma around. Imagine christian07 and the like being responsible for your rep, my rep, and all the others.
You could've thought this through yourself. Why didn't you?
