First true moral conflict

Is anybody here going crazy?

 

indeed, everything is permitted

but choosing the violence option has so many drawbacks . . . choosing the peace option has only one drawback; it does not satisfy the human drive to violence.

 

yes, very, but it doesn't bother me.

 

That's it. You and me, in the parking lot. Right now.

 

I'm eating fruity pebbles right now.

 

I wonder if I can live off Yellow 5, Blue 1, Blue 2, Yellow 6, and Red 40... Oh wait it has rice, I'm saved.

 

so what makes you crazy?
The fact that you are eating fruity pebbles?
Or the fact that you posted to tell us you were eating fruity pebbles.
Or does fruity pebbles mean something different from the common association most people would make with the breakfast cereal by Post, featuring the Flintstones.

 

Oh shit you're right, they have Flintstones all over the box. Looks like they need a mascot upgrade.

 

Can't upgrade from the Flintstones. They are the pinnacle of silly animation.

 

They could put gay porn all over the box. That would be a winner with parents. Then it would be really fruity.

 

Are we still on topic?

 

Sorry prone, ill stop now...

At least I whored my post number up, don't I get benefits for having a higher post number?

 

not if you get a higher post number doing this, you don't

all 6,360 of my post have been extremely thoughtful, meaningful and complicated.

 

"Insert thoughtful, meaningful, and complicated text"

 

You should lose points for complicated... Whooo I loo like... Albert Einstein.

 

nah, you are already among the greatest of the site because you post in the LSD forum

 

“Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and -- thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor; and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.”

yeah it's different when discussing interactions between states and interactions between individuals. states are not conscious entities presumably.

 

iam not much of a fighter iam more of a lover...

Am i the only one who is obessed with flinstones vitamens?

 

well, making a comparison between how people act as individuals and how they act collectively is definitely of interest and relative to this topic I think.
