And money was no object... What would you do, seriously....?


Im still thinkin of mine, i'll get back to ya.
 
ah yes, the problem of Geges' ring. I believe you are at the krisis point of the dilemma. The question before you is: what is righteousness? Do I act according to the Good because it is the Good or is this only done because I fear punishment or to bring myself pleasure? If you choose to do what is wrong, what is the source of wrong? Does the source then invalidate the wrong or make it justifiable or right? Then how do we continue if your behavior doesn't change?

Can we use this to say that humans are inherently good or that we are simply conditioned, as Burgess pointed out in A Clockwork Orange? Then if we choose anything, and if God indeed is dead and everything is allowed, what would you choose?


Personally, I'll stick with the Good. In other words, in a purely inconsquential system of deontological ideology, I would act as I had been acting before, with no regard for the ends nor the means but only for the duty imposed by the nature of the relationship as a natural extension of righteousness.

Cheers ! 🙂
 


<< sex.....lots of it, with lots of different female partners...sometimes more than one at a time.... >>

<< Its not exactly legal but here it goes...



Me armed to the tooth chasing unarmed prisoners through a maze... >>

dammit man, do you have to do this to every thread 😉

You're like the opposite of a thread crapper.......always searching for a deeper meaning...

I suggest you try and give a simple answer some time. Like mine: Sex! 😀


Now, if you wanna start a serious discussion, I don't believe in Good or Bad. I just see opposing view points, relative morals and lots of self serving. People don't care about doing Good or Bad, they care about what suits them best.....
 


<< hahaha... i still cant think of what id do. >>


took me a while... but didn't want to do something bad. nothing good has any bad consequences. so i decided to choose something that wouldn't hurt anyone, and not me either! 🙂
 
i'd pee in the water supply 🙂

heh, seriously....
i think i might kill tim eyman. god that guy gets on my nerves.
 
i'd work torward world peace and try to end hunger by harpooning sally struthers. if i have time left afterwards...the rest of my time would involve jello and a lot of playmates 😉
 
oh wait.... i know. i'd take over the world. but not so i could exploit it, so that i could set people straight! it's about time we had some world peace...
 
Probably one of two things
1. Fornication up the wazoo (a given)
2. Jump off of something very high, maybe Sears tower or edge of Grand Canyon

Not EVERY thread 😀. If you search for my replies I think you will see I did attempt to make a joke a few days ago. I just do this to try and poke holes in the carapace people think makes up the world and let some sunshine and fresh air get through the holes. I may or may not think there is a deeper meaning. However, I think it's important to at least discuss it once in awhile instead of the incessant "PICS?" and "hey let's flame people". And as for the simple answer, that WAS the simplified version 🙂

Every board needs at least one crazy bookwormish philosopher-type member. And it just so happens I fit that description 😀. Might as well start poking some holes...

*poke

Cheers ! 🙂
 
me and my friends once had an elaborate discussion about just this subject. It mostly involved the world being devoid of any other human inhabitants, and us destroying entire cities piece by my various means, most of wich at least partially involved explosives. there would aslo be alot of street racing using various stolen and very expensive cars. As well as the building of ridiculous devices such as linear accelerators and trebuchets. I would also skate all the places the man tells me i can't... like inside malls... i've always wanted to skate inside a mall... damned security guards and their concern for the well being of the malls "customers"

I'd also try very hard to beat wilt chamberlains record... although it would be nice if i could do so while ensuring each encounter was meaningful, mutual and based on a firm basis of love and respect. 😉

I'd also probably walk around completely naked alot. There would be alot of fires popping up in unexpected places and breakable things falling from high places. I'd also try and reorganize world government into a much more workable system.

I would'nt mind exploring all of the US governments secret millitary instalations too... i'm sure there are many fun things waiting there.... And it would be fun to try my hand a piloting a harrier... ooooh... and massive paintball games encompassing entire cities involving thousands of people... that would rock too....

essentially... without fear of consequence i would act out all of my most primal and childish urges that do not harm others... although i'm sure in the process of doing so i would do heck of alot of harm to myself... .
 
I'd get rich (rob a bank or something), and buy EVERTHING i ever wanted. have sex with all the hottest bitches, many of them at one time. kill a few people, and just do things on a whim.

man, it would be great!
 
hmm, how about have the girl that i love fall in love with me back. since you said no consequences, that means she will never fall out of love with me, since it won't wear off or back fire.
 
Tell off my coworkers
Do 160 MPH down First Ave here in CR
Bang that hot blonde neighbor across the street

Oh, and drop a couple 10 megaton nukes on the middle east to satisfy the pyro in me.
