My Five Wills/Code of Ethics

4. Self-propagated justice isn't a mirror. It's a giant circle-fuck that never ends.
5. You will love whoever you love. Only a very twisted individual sits around judging who that will be.

Overall, I have to say you sound like a World-Ender gun nut. I'm guessing you own at least one Confederate flag. Am I right or am I right?

Tongue

You think you're so clever. You're really just a bloody idiot.

1) It does need to be said. Too many people give up on life, or are too foolish to act in accordance with their own self-preservation. That's their choice, but it won't be mine.

2) Yes, I am American, but I don't live in America, and my experience is that regardless of what country you're in, people like enjoying things more than they like abstaining from them. I refuse to live by any self-righteous, self-deceitful, and self-denialist philosophy of "don't eat," "don't touch," "don't fuck." I do what I want, within the boundaries of others' liberty.

3) Yes, it is a good idea (as are the others). I very rarely have bad ideas, and my good ones certainly don't need you to point them out.

4) Justice is repayment. That's it. If someone does wrong, they are repaid according to their action, not according to their supposed potential for goodness or change. When someone murders or maims or rapes, they are sent to prison and, if the law is just, killed. Mercy is unjust weakness. It is a quality I will not cultivate. (And to that person who quoted Lincoln: I wonder whether you know anything about him. He may have said that, but that hardly speaks as loudly as his actions. Abraham Lincoln started a war that resulted in the deaths of more than a half million people, held more than 20,000 prisoners of war, and employed surveillance measures on enemy correspondence in order to ambush them. Abraham Lincoln was not merciful. No good leader is.)

5) This principle is opposed to the common and ridiculous goal of the world's mindless religious to love everyone without discrimination, to love unconditionally, even if that love is unrequited, as their gods supposedly love us. I refuse to love blindly and universally, as love for everyone is love for no one; it is nothing more than sugar-coated apathy. I will love those who demonstrate their goodness and/or loyalty, and I will hate those who demonstrate evil and betrayal. Any other way of loving is foolish and ultimately self-destructive, in my experience.

While I find your assessment of who I am—namely a conservative gun nut running around shouting TEOTWAWKI and waving my confederate flags—amusing, it is entirely incorrect. I am not conservative in the general sense, nor liberal, nor really libertarian. I disagree with the social principles of most conservatives, the fiscal principles of most liberals, and the utter lack of pragmatism among most libertarians. I disagree with conservative justification if bigotry as much as I disagree with the liberal wet dream of making everyone absolutely equal in every way imaginable. I don't really have a label that suits what I believe. But I am not a Confederate nut, a pro-life seceder, a homophobic traitor to the American nation; I am generally self-described as some sort of liberal, I would have supported most of what Abraham Lincoln did, and while I enjoy the craftsmanship of firearm manufacture and the beauty of a well-trained fighter, I do agree with certain regulations on firearms.

Good day.
