klee58: If I'm reading it right (and I hope I am), no consequences implies that such a long jump would not result in any injury.

<< 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

Ha, you might consider rewording #1.:D

<<

<< 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 ! :)

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! :D


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.....

Hijack a NASA rocket and jump out of it while in space, naked, with no spacesuit and just float around in space...

<< 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 >>



Ahahaha! Lots of these are great, but this almost made me PIMP. "Harpoon Sally Struthers." AHAHAHAHAHA! She is rather pleasantly plump, is she not? :D


OK, without consequence? Assuming we are talking about mortal acts. I.E. we're not God (no jumping off buildings, sorry, AdamDuritz ;))

I would want to punch my son's mother right in the nose. As hard as I possibly could, just one time. I am not a violent person. I'm actually a big pussycat, but she has ruined my life.

Yes, my son is beautiful. But that beast has tormented me AND my family incessantly. Just one sock right in the schnozz......I could go on with my life. In peace and harmony with myself.

I'd Kill Bin Laden.. but the good thing about that is, there really is no consequences! everyone on this side of the world wants him dead.. I'd be a hero!
That's the good thing about what I would do.. you'd think there would be consequences but not in this situation.. :)

Other things I'd do: find the damn sweetest car i could and go tear up the country side!!! (Prob. yellow Viper GTS at nearby dealership)

can't think of anything else right now.... heh...

Well, I don't know how I would manage this but:
Steal a recent jet and fly it through city areas low to the ground causing shockwaves and weaving between buildings :). No doubt that would be friggen amazing. Since there isn't any consequences, I'm assuming my actions wouldn't hurt anyone in these city areas.

I also think there is a lot of information that is hidden from everyone, experiments that go on/coverups/etc. If I could perform an action that would allow me to get my hands on all this information then that would be my top pick. Unfortunatly I can't think of a single way of getting all this info...

I also thought of the free fall from a building, but I think that can be simulated by sky diving (which I've never done). So I would hate to waste my immortality on that :).

I'd jump out of a plane... and while feeling the rush of free falling.... I would fart, burp, sneeze and orgazism all at the same time.



It would be the ultimate head rush/pressure release of all time!!!!
