Quote:Negligence is often what we call 'not caring' (or failing to observe), which was likely not intended, and 'just exists' (as you put it). I suppose then, that considering 'vile' to mean 'with the intention to harm another'... I should be considered positively vile for intending to cripple an attacking foe (perhaps to halt their attack, perhaps to put them on the defensive). I should also be called vile for intending to kill and eat anything what might be killed and eaten. Now... I'm fairly certain that you mean for 'vile' to not be used so gaily... perhaps you would like to redefine in a better sense? If you're having difficulties coming up with a workable definition for 'vile' (that follows your intent with the word), you could try outlining several scenarios which you consider to be 'vile', and following their common roots to your likely definition of 'vile'. This is, of course, only a suggestion if you are having difficulties.The dictionary definition will do. I focused on that word because it was focused on in one of your previous replies.
Quote:Context is vital when it comes to leading nations. At times, a terrifyingly brutal military annexation and genocide is a very good answer... perhaps the 'best' decision one can make.Genocide??? Seriously?
Quote:If boulder disasters are not vile... I cannot see how a fair number of rapes, murders, robberies, and what have you are 'vile' either. Explain how one is vile and the other not, and we can evaluate further, without needing me to present superfluous examples under either the definition you sort of gave above, or my definition(s). ^_^I'm not going to make any effort towards examples.
Quote:No, but many forced things happen to be vile in my opinion.Quote:I would think it vile for someone to forceably cut your hair, and vile for them to forceably prevent you from cutting your own hair. It would also be vile for you to force someone else to cut your hair for you.And why would that be? Now we see a possibly different definition of 'vile' (one somewhat more akin to my own, but not there yet)... where apparently a vile thing is a thing that is forced.
Quote:You completely lost me at 'A is different than B.'Quote:Is the red lover forcing the red hater to be in a brightly lit room with their eyelids glued open and where everything is flourescent red? We are not talking about one person liking sex and one person not. I'm not talking about that, anyways.Observe:
A is different than B.
A is different than C.
A is different than D.
B ? c ? D.
You can't get more different by changing A + B to A + C. You will likely get a different value... but B and C are not more different to A than D is to A. Just as you cannot become any more the same by such a method. There is no grey area v_v
Quote:It is indeed possible that all rapists share that characteristic... and I can't see anything to argue about it through my sleep and drug-addled brain. Do you know how difficult it is to stay awake after sleeping pills? ^_^Very hard to do. It's almost like they make one sleepy or something!
Quote:Yeah, but that's not it. I still won't know the words to use.Quote:Even after coffee and my um, thought enhancement ciggy, I still don't know the words to make what I mean any clearer.Perhaps you need more sleep, like me
Quote:That's good. Some people would probably hate me forever for that one. About 20 years ago, I joked at one guy about how he looks a lot like a sketch of a wanted rapist that was in the paper (he really did, but I said it laughingly). He got very mad and still scowls at me to this day, long after the real guy was caught (Paul Bernardo).Quote:I want to give you another huge apology on that one. That was a really shitty mistake for me to have made. I am also very against false accusations of such things, and the nasty stigma that can result. I thought you were actually brave enough to publically admit such a desire and not a vile person since you wouldn't actually do it in real life due to not wanting to hurt someone for real.Don't apologize ^_^ I found it rather humorous! ^_^
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
