Morality

RE: Morality
You think Celts didn't have moral guidelines? Explain Geis.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Morality is not on a decline at all: people's understanding of the subject is expanding rapidly Smile
Abortion, murder, and suicide are moral to me too. Lying, 'stealing', and ganking are moral.

Vandalism, rape, and mindless brutality are not moral. Sabotage, nudity in public, and any reasoned brutality are completely moral.

I have no idea what ganking is. Also I know you enjoy being all wacky and out there with your stuff and trolling etc, so just before I respond could you clarify which parts of the above you actually believe, and which bits you're just trying to get a rise out of people with? Ta.

RE: Morality
For the lurkers Dinero, gotta stand up for the Celts in any case. I'm not in any way dragging around the notion that I'm going to argue anyone out of this or that position. I just like to toss out information when I see misinformation being presented as fact.

Ganking is coming up to a newb with a powerful character and crushing it with auto attack in one hit.

What I do believe: Evil is only in 'negative' things done without any reason or for the reason of 'fun' alone.

Rock falls on your car, causing damage: evil. Darth Vader obliterating a planet to maintain control: cruel, but not evil.

RE: Morality
Hmm. Interesting distinction you're making. But surely being cruel is still immoral? Even if you make a distinction between cruel and evil, both of those are immoral, right?

Not at all. Cruelty is often distasteful, but then so is asparagus. And I hear that stuff is downright good for you Tongue

Evil is necessarily immoral. Evil being a negatively-valued thing that is not moral (done for a reason other than fun).

Obviously... I disagree strongly with the D&D evil-good/lawful-chaotic organization Smile

RE: Morality
Nah, come on. How is being cruel not immoral? It's a better fit for what you've defined as evil.
