What the fuck!?

For power over others? I think that some people enjoy feeling that they can control someone else. 

Also, human beings tend to categorize others into groups of us and 'others'. Once someone gets placed in that box of 'other' then it is easier to dehumanize them.

Funnily enough though, I've seen people driving on the street more recklessly than I do on GTA with a car I intend to dump in less than a minute.

is it possible that you got caught up as a NPC in that dude's GTV game? (Insert Xfiles music)

Now that you mention it, I accept that proposition entirely! That is most likely what happened Big Grin

First, define bad.

Was Al Capone bad? If the answer is yes, why wasn't Andrew Carnegie, who let Pinkertons thugs massacre his striking factory workers? Why aren't the Goldman Sachs CEOs bad for all the homeless they left in their wake when making off with their billions?

Al Capone was at least honest about what he was doing as opposed to some celebrated heroes of our economic world.

Yes, we can agree that rape and murder are bad. But then we're already entering the gray zone where legal or pseudo legal doesn't mean good or decent. And in most cases of bad there's a shine Dollar or Euro sign at the end of the rainbow.

I think that things that are really bad are naturally programmed in your brain. If it's something that you don't want someone to do to you then you probably shouldn't do it to others.

Most of the little things that are bad are just subjective made up bullshit things.

RE: Why be Bad?
maybe good and bad don't exist at all...
we just label things as bad if they can harm society
so the question is: why do we do things that can harm society?
-because fuck all y'all!
-many other reasons including egoism, psychopathy, ...

more important question: why would be do good?

So what are you saying? Filling a suit to order others to kill people or rob them of the exitence isn't really bad. Only when you go out by yourself to do the nasty?

Apart from the fact that I'm opposed to the programmed in your brain part, I really don't understand.

RE: Why be Bad?
I don't want to hurt people. It would make them sad, and it would make me sad. So I have no reason to.

But fuck it, I'm an atheist. So I'm going to go cave in some random person's head with a shovel.
