Good vs. Evil

[Bosun]

Then I guess I'll have to do all the work around here. 77!

[SomethingDire]

Wow. You call being evil work? Really? 78

[Bosun]

It certainly can be. Evil doesn't actually exist, just a difference in understanding that people qualitatively describe as evil. So to do what someone might call evil is still work. Certainly, there are immoral people and things, but evil is just a construct that is relative to a person's experiences. Morals are set by society, more or less. I could go on, but I won't. 77.

Sure. But the point isn't being good or evil here. I still wouldn't call it work if you were good.

I just don't call it work when people move in order to obtain their very.. Unspecific.. Goals. If you can even call them goals, that is.

 

 

Ah, god. Shoulda put quotation marks around the word "evil" in my first post. Just like that. Let me clear things up.

 

Detracting the numbers doesn't mean anything to me. I don't see how you'll clean things up by doing so, either; I don't see how that classifies as work. It doesn't matter if I call it "evil" or "good" or something else- and that's the crucial part. I already know that good and evil is completely subjective. But work is not. One's opinion on morality rarely matters in such situations, anyway. You know, when there's actual "work" to be done.

 

Good thing that you didn't go on. To put it simply; you'd be insulting my intelligence if you did so. 77.

75. Sorry to be rash. I just really want to see a negative number come up in this thread. I think that would be pretty neat, so I'm working towards that.

[SomethingDire]

Oh dear, you should've said that was your intention from the start! 76

[Bosun]

75. NOT TODAY!!!

74 Ah, deep philosophical discussions in the Games forum. Almost makes me nostalgic.

75 Discussion is discussion, no matter where.

74 So what is the sound of one hand clapping?
