Re: What Political Ideology Do You Identify With The Most (P

Mmm, libertarian. I can admit that I'm tempted to caricature government bodies as Leviathans at times and I do hold certain things to be uncompromisable. In any case, being involved in the political structure of your government is important, if for nothing else than to oppose unpopular legislation. ...

Re: Do Good and Evil exist outside of human parameters?

dealing with it's right. This is getting really abstract and I think that might be my fault because of the way I'm saying what I'm saying. We're hung up on my claim that moral categories can be absolute if they come from a worldview that stipulates it, but I'm also saying that a worldview can be dem...

Re: Do Good and Evil exist outside of human parameters?

I'm really sorry, I'm not too good at explaining things (perhaps I shouldn't type so much, lol). No, that's not what I'm saying. I qualified everything that I said in saying that a worldview can logically (using the formal definition of the word) be demonstrated to be right or wrong. Remember this. ...

Re: Do Good and Evil exist outside of human parameters?

Okay, now I think I understand. I b'lieve there's a misunderstanding. (Explained in 3rd word block) To summarize my own answer to this thread's question, good and evil (I'll call "moral categories" henceforth) do exist outside of human parameters (eg. moral categories are absolute), but th...

Re: Do Good And Evil Exist Outside of Human Parameters?

An interesting and thoughtful post. My immediate thought is, "If Good or Evil were capable of being generated by a world-view then all world-views would be wrong." This is not a perfectly accurate thought, but largely accurate. I'd like to understand what you mean by that, because I'm not...

Re: Do Good and Evil exist outside of human parameters?

(The last 5 little blocks of typing is a more direct response, but it's all, afterall, one post.) It's always strange seeing a tough question being struggled through for an answer. No matter how many times anyone sees one of these funny questions the result of the ensuing conversation is always stra...

Re: Lies.

Is it ever okay to tell a lie? Well, I think to answer that some other questions have to be answered first. Is truth a relative thing or absolute? Are morals relative or are they absolute? And here's the answer that I use. If truth is a relative thing, then it's subject to change and indeed does cha...

Re: Curtain Call

Dinaeus hardly noticed the rest of the group solemnly file past him as Taima, with a very serious demeanor pointed him onward, so he proceeded behind Arrow and took his place. From his spot he saw Whisper; her disheveled appearance, her frantic eyes, her fractured mind, and for another moment he may...

Re: Curtain Call

Although he was aware of the presence of the others, Din may well have been the only one with this knowledge. Turning his head, his body following suit behind Sylvire and co. He looked at his temporary companions, but it was as if he looked through them. Magic fanatics never sat well with him, regar...

Re: Curtain Call

The culmination - of sorts - to events the brash warrior was almost blind to. How long ago was it that he’d been called upon to safe guard the precious artifact? And in that time, just how much had changed? Dinaeus himself had been involved in so few battles with his allies that he almost felt guilt...

Re: Din vs Patch

There was a more than dissatisfying feeling against Dinaeus's forearm as it didn't collide with this eccentric priest's neck, he didn't feel any awkward movement beneath the man's skin because he hadn't broken his neck, nor severed his thyroid cartilage. Now, at this point, he wasn't calmly raising ...

Let's Talk About Pain

Hopefully this doesn't sound overly depressing, it's genuine curiosity, though. All too many times in our lives, we've bumped heads, fallen on our bums, stubbed toes (countless times), gone through break-ups, lost someone important to us, had "one of those days," and the list goes on. Perh...

Hello and welcome, Poe. Always glad to have new members, and always glad to know that this here website is user friendly. Apparently you and I have similar RP tastes.

Re: Din vs Patch

A charging bull with red in its eye was a heedless force to be reckoned with. It was fortunate for whatever by standers there may have been at one point, that they were no longer there, 'lest they should find themselves unwittingly drawn into the conflict much the same way a cow would find itself de...
