| Okay, I think my entire English class thinks I am Hitler reincarnated
now. I didn't really explain myself that well(you try explaining moral
relatavism to a bunch of teenagers in the bible belt). It was at the
end of class, so I didn't even get to explain why Stuart was wrong. I
was going to talk about how the latest Star Wars film adresses it
somewhat, but I was running out of time and I didn't want to sound too
much like Dylan. Here's a slightly more coherent version of what I was
trying to say:
Nearly everyone agrees with the Black/White analogy of right and
wrong(something to the effect of "everything isn't black or white,
there are only shades of gray"). My argument was an expansion of that
analogy. Most people don't see how deep that analogy goes. It really is
a very good metaphor. I extended it to include colours, however, to
make it easier. When you see something that is blue, it is your mind
interpereting the wavelengths of light reflected by the object. This
object reflects a certain wavelength of light. Your brain interperets
the wavelength as "blue." "Blue" doesn't exist anywhere but in the
human mind. Colourblind people don't see the "wrong" colours, their
brains just interperet the wavelengths differently. To them, the blue
object could be some other colour or even described as something the
non-colourblind could even fathom. Good and evil, in this analogy, are
colours; and the wavelengths are the actions. There is no intrinsic
property of an action that makes it "good" or "evil." "Good" and "evil"
only exist in the minds of humans. They appear to exist because of
society(similar to how we all agree on what "blue" is). Who you may
think of as "evil" is just "colourblind": their minds interperet the
actions in a different way than you do. To them, you may be evil. To a
colourblind society, you, not they, would be colourblind. | | |
| so, i like this girl, but she has a boyfriend. she was telling me how
she was going to break up with her boyfriend. naturally, i got my hopes
up, but she changed her mind and isn't breaking up with him.
why is it that every girl i like is in a relationship, doesn't like me
that way, or both? i used to have a lot of luck with girls, but
now, not so much. when did that change? more importantly, why did that
change?

| random bash moment: http://bash.org/?627974
TheItch: Dude, funniest thing ever!
TheItch: I walk into the bathroom at work, walk up to a urinal, and get ready to... you know.
TheItch: From one of the stalls, I hear a low rumble, which escalates to a groan, and then to a roar.
TheItch: What follows can only be described as the most vile and putrid
sounds of human excretion in history. This man apparently pooped out
his intestines.
TheItch: Moments later, I hear from the same stall, "Oh god! Someone CALL AN AMBULANCE!"
TheItch: Now, this is an executive restroom at a private bank, and the
door has a number lock on it, so it's not some kid trying to be funny.
And the man sounded genuinely distressed.
TreesSneezing: lmao! What did you do?
TheItch: Suppressed my laughter as best as I could, zipped up and got the hell out of there.
