Oh dear... I hope you all get well soon!

I wouldn't mind seeing some obstacle courses. Similar to the ski runs at the winter event. You could even throw in power suppression on some of them.

" It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. "
This what you're getting at? -
Quote:If there was no absolute good/evil, there would be no basis upon which moral decisions could be judged. This is the argument from Moral Relativity.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
There is absolute good, and absolute evil.
Moral Objectivism and Absolutism differ on their view if there are rules that if you break them you are immoral. Example: For the Absolutist, killing is always wrong (how to determine these rules depends on the moral theory in question). For the Objectivist, killing is generally wrong, but there may be exceptions (exceptions vary depending on the moral theory in question). -
Freedom is constipated?
Somehow I am not surprised. -
The point of my post was much different than you think it was. My reasons were twofold:
First, I wanted to point out that moral theories are much more complicated than you think they are. You may say "I think that morality is relative", but you cannot yet deterministically say that "Moral relativity is the only answer". The entire subject is career-worthy levels of debating and research.
Second, the article was to point out the difference between "different societies have different rules" and "moral theories are useless because people are too different" (the latter of which is Moral Relativity, the former of which could fall under a number of different theories depending on how you analyzed the differences).
I was not trying to invalidate your views, merely warn you that you have stepped into a millenia-old debate that is far more complicated than you think it is.
PS: For the record, I am a moral objectivist, but not a moral absolutist. -
In Greek (and other) legends, things could be Gods as well as places.

Quote:No it isn't. Most ethical philosophers hold that there is at least objective moral truth, if not absolute moral truth (objective and absolute here are very different things).Originally Posted by Mr_Grey
Morality is always relative.
PS: I think you may want to read up on Moral Relativism. -
What's with the thread necros, mate?

Quote:Yeah, I certainly have my problems with EvE. We'll see how long it sticks this time.Originally Posted by Turgenev
EvE: Beautiful, beautiful game, but horridly boring except for the 2% you're actually PVPing. IRON was big into this for years (still is, both as corporation and as privateers). For my money, check out Jumpgate: Evolution. Same idea, but that you're in a one-man fighter instead of an RTS-style frigate command. The old Descentaholic in me craves it.
I would love to play JG:E, but alas, not beta for me yet. -
I still poke my head in, though I am now splitting my time between this and EvE, in addition to school starting up again.

In the thread title, by "Server" do you mean "Channel"?

Oh. Cool, I guess. I keep hearing good things about the EU boards, so maybe some of that will spill over to these boards and replace the doom and gloom that always comes with any new Issue.
[/ QUOTE ]That would certainly be a nice change. Not to mention lessening my ever-present desire to punch things. -
I'm not sure when I'll be awake and when I'll be asleep this weekend, but I should be around. Don't be afraid to look me up if you need more for any given TF/SF.

I ran into a tree once, with my head... running at full speed from a girl that was trying to kiss me, when I was like 10. True story. It knocked me out for an hour and I woke up in the Nurse's office.
That was a dumb moment, and all my other dumb moments came after that one. Hmmm.....

This story explains so much. -
Attempting to show it off in the middle of combat... probably not the best idea.

I suppose this means we're gonna have to finally decide on a Horseman of Delay.
Any volunteers?

The problem with forum pvp is that I still can't hit worth a damn.

Imageshack is also good if you don't want to have to create an account.

In reality, there is absolutely no way for them to tell if more than one person uses an account. Even if you post here, saying that you do!
