    After a very short period of consideration it is my decision that this man is in no way responsible for this child.

    doesn't mean I don't do more harm than good.

    but, I don't get to make that decision.

    I have shopped at walmart, and perpetuated the hellish lifestyles of people in other countries.

    I have allowed myself to be part of an american system that kills, and destroys.

    come on; what alternatives do you have? kill yourself? go live in the sticks and be a hunter/gatherer? I suppose you could join a commune if you need to avoid that.
    it sounds like you have set ideas of right and wrong.

    I have very flexible ideas of right and wrong actually.

    however, they are set in relation to myself. and others whose situations I understand.

    I could choose to shop elsewhere, I could choose to stop supporting fiscal tyranny, but, I do not, because it is more convenient for me to not.

    something that is wrong for me, may be the only choice another has, or, perhaps, even the right thing.

    at least you think about.
    I choose not to think in terms of right and wrong. they're a couple of dead abstractions.

    they are not dead, simply more flexible than people would like

    religion has to lay out absolutes because most people are too stupid to be trusted with exceptions, you can actually find a lot of exceptions in the bible, but most people are taught an exception free version, because they can't be trusted with free will

    five of the ten commandments have loopholes.

    what you should know if you want to talk about this with me is, my beliefs (or lack thereof) are pretty standard apathetic-nihilism.

    why bother?
    things matter to me, just like they matter to you. but that's all prejudice.

    not all of it. I like certain computer games because I have had a good time playing them, I wish I had more single player content for many of them, but, that's the price of the scripted mission.

    Zen, I just don't see apathetic nihilism in you?

    How much of that belief system is made up of half hearted excuses as to why you should pick some responsibilities and avoid others?

    Thats my only question. I am far too out of my head to contribute anything very meaningful to this discussion right now. It annoys me.

    prejudice suggests that I believe with insufficient telemetry, I have telemetry. and, as soon as I make a certain trip, it will be adequate, and sufficient.

    I disagree. He has no responsibility at this point.

    I don't step outside of myself often. when I do is when everything makes sense.
