1.  Compared to some on this board, i am old.

2.  I'm gonna take CK's first response as non-sarcastic.  Just because.

I'd love nothing more than to have you prove me wrong.

Also, there are TGRR's flyers.  I'll ask him if he wants to move them in here.

Were those ever laid out?

Probably not.

Yeah, that reeks of nihilistic solipsism.  And Sociopathy.

I think what the Prof is saying is that an infant has no knowledge of race a priori, so it cannot form opinions or thoughts of situations based upon race.

Therefore, neither racist nor not-racist.

CK, the "ain sof aur" bit is from Kaballah.  There are 3 levels of Nothingness before you reach the first Sipharoth, Kether.  Here's a basic introduction:

You fuck little girls, so be it. There,Äôs an absolute morality? May be. And then what? If you think there is, then be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don,Äôt think so. If you think that way, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won,Äôt live in it. That,Äôs me.

These statements, taken together, imply a course of action that allows for the fucking of little girls, with no negative consequences, if you choose not to believe in negative consequences.

As I said before, it's only an implication, not an explicit statement, so I'm witholding judgement until we get the 'splainin.

Cain, in all the example of morality that you have given, your conclusions were negative.

Are there any origins of morality that lead to positive conclusions, in your mind?


If not, do you conclude that morals are a negative aspect?

At times, it seems that morality is the thing that balances out selfishness.  Most of the behaviors describes as "amoral" can also be describes as selfish; that is, not taking the consequences of your actions further than your immediate self-gratification.

It seems like a good use of morality is when those around you, who are actually affected by your actions, are taken into consideration.  This eliminates the "God" morals, and gives allowances for what you do in private.

Now of course, you might consider those who are affected by your actions, and ignore them, or not care.  I say that's fine, as long as you openly recognize your impact on them, and are willing to face their objections.




That last bit is gonna take some more work to seal up the obvious holes..

And once again, the Lollercoaster derails, killing innocent bystanders.

I realize you yoinked it, I was speaking more about the find/replace gag.

That was a lot more clever than I was expecting, Faust.

It depends on who you ask.  You can find "credible" sources saying either.
