Are you mad at the Snitch??

To be honest, you are just straight up dumb man. You're one of those people who come off as intelligent and you might fool some people, but not everyone.

I seriously doubt you have ever even "fooled" anyone with your intelligence. I will thank you, though, for being an excellent straw man. Some day you may realize that your "additions" to a conversation are only props for others.

I've already tried to have a conversation with you, I can only hope that you will listen to kallieb now, she explains it much better than I did.

kallie,

Yes, I understand survival. Very well, actually.

I even made mention to cine early on that I understand how people could break under physical duress.

I think people have failed to see my deliberate part in this thread. That was to express the hard-line to those who cannot look beyond those base needs. I wanted people to see that there are difficult decisions to be made when deciding on someone else's fate.

The posts that pissed me off were the ones that gave little or no thought to others. It seemed so reflexive to save one's own ass.

A lot of people read philosophy in hopes of finding one absolute way to live and do things. They are mistaken in this. The value of philosophy is to understand all of the different perspectives before making an informed, careful decision.

For this thread, I was playing the part of the extremist. I did that because no one else was willing to defend the things that make people better than animals.

If people want to see me as an idealist, so be it. I have been called much worse.

This topic is one that requires deep thought. One's decisions should not be taken lightly or focused merely on self. They should also not be entirely focused on fear.

That is what I was trying to do in this thread. Shine some light on others, relationship, honor, commitment, compassion, and similar thoughts.

Maybe now, people will go back and reread the thread with that in mind. Far too much focus has been on me and not the (IMO) ideas worth fighting for.

Thanks TThunder,

I like the pic. It needs to be hosed elsewhere, though. I use tinypic.

And yeah, please do add to the thread you posted. Some will get my intentions here, others will miss them entirely. Oh, well. :/

I can't be bothered to rehost a pic. I just have no idea why you're getting so deep on a bittorrent forum.

I enjoy this community more than others I have come across and this is a community where "questionable" practices take place.

Why not have the discussion here?

I get a more active discussion of the "questionable" aspects of life here than I do at my university. This way I get different perspectives.

[TrollinThunder]

Fair enough. I know nontraditional students tend to care too much about discussions. I'm been bored with such talk probably since sophomore year of college.

[megabyteme]

Different interests, that's cool. What are you interested in? Major? Career?

Did anything have any real "spark" for you? Some classes were just requirements for me as well.

As for the slight on being a non-traditional student, you'll have a hard time convincing me that my current school is not one of the top in the region. Also, most working professionals don't have their parents to pay their way while they continue into grad school. I'll hang with the ones who can stand on their own two feet any day. We have discussions that 20-somethings who live on their parents' dime cannot bring anything to.

megabyteme, don't you consider your full-on tedious assault upon Benjamin to be somewhat pointless, given that every word posted in this thread falls firmly into the cantons of hypotheticals?

You're lynching him upon things he's never done and likely never will.

Perhaps you're too consumed with your philosophy papers to clearly see straight.

Yep it's hypothetical here. So are a lot of our discussions. My problem with it (Benny) stems from its attempts at making snitching acceptable. We have seen others with the same leanings.

If you are already willing to bend over in a hypothetical discussion how much of a complete ball-sucking bitch will they become in a real-life situation?

It's gotta go something like this scene from The Girl Next Door. Where Benny is the porn slut. http://video.aol.ca/video-detail/eli...id=VIDURVMOV04

I am also deviating from my normal, mostly polite style to emphasize how some of us think about its kind. I would not piss on it if it were on fire. In fact, I'd go to the store and buy marshmallows and hope it was still screaming in pain and burning when I returned.

As for sez's comment, it would be a different concept all together if snitching meant "sharing the blame equally". That is not the case. The snitch gets off light and the ones snitched on get extended sentences that they would not have had because the cops did not have sufficient evidence to give them those charges or sentences. Snitches really fuck people over.

Apparently, you don't have a problem with gleefully roasting marshmallows, over the smoldering remains of a hypothetical snitch, but your personal code of ethics - won't allow you to put the snitch out of his misery with a kindly piss?


How rude.
