Never thought I'd see a literary dick measuring contest, but here we are.

oh man, ain't that the truth... when I was young and where I lived, there wasn't much to do other than watch shitty TV maybe, which didn't really interest me, or read. My dad had an awesome book collection at home, and otherwise I had half the library in my room at timesI dunno mate... by the time I turned 10, I had read half of a decent Library... it took me 20 years to slow down... I don't think age matters that much.
Well, we have to play to our strengths I was told... and I am not good at much else...Never thought I'd see a literary dick measuring contest, but here we are.

Well, where I grew up, there wasn't even TV. Radio was KING.oh man, ain't that the truth... when I was young and where I lived, there wasn't much to do other than watch shitty TV maybe, which didn't really interest me, or read. My dad had an awesome book collection at home, and otherwise I had half the library in my room at timesNowadays I read a lot less books though, if you don't count AVNs that is. I'm trying to get back to it somewhat, I finished 3 shorter novels in the past week which is kinda rare. Audiobooks are much more convenient these days, I can listen to those when I'm doing chores or whatever.
There is no ethical billionaire.She has the same power that Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark have - oodles of money.![]()
that's why I don't like when devs give out AVN metrics for an update like play-time. Reading speed is very subjective, and I also read very fast (even though english is not my native language). I'd rather they stick to render count, that one is much better.So I read... and read... and read... I have to also say, that I was a VERY fast reader.
Peace![]()
I really don't want to go down a huge rabbit hole of what is or isn't ethical but I have to ask what makes someone ethical. Does every single choice they ever make in their life have to be ethical to be an ethical person if that is the case then there may not be a single ethical person on the planet (excluding people under a certain age at least). I really don't have much of a view when it comes to billionaires but I wouldn't lump them all together at the least there are very bad billionaires and at least in my opinion billionaires who truly do want to make the world into a better place even if they might do somethings in a miss guided way. I won't elaborate on that statement any further A) because I said to much already and B) because I don't want this to get into an argument with no true winner. I am genuinely just curious how ethical do you have to be to be considered an ethical person.There is no ethical billionaire.
I think the term 'ethical' is flawed in of itself. Being ethical is just adhering to moral principles, but it doesn't specify that it has to be socially accepted moral principles, meaning that a serial killer that only targets redheads would technically be 'ethical' if he does kill a redhead as he is only adhering to his own moral principles. I think the correct term would be "There are no billionaires who aren't morally reprehensible" since you have to do some fucked up shit to a lot of people in order to become a billionaire to begin with.I really don't want to go down a huge rabbit hole of what is or isn't ethical but I have to ask what makes someone ethical.

Ackshully... Morals and ethics aren't the same thing. Similar, but separate from each other.I think the term 'ethical' is flawed in of itself. Being ethical is just adhering to moral principles, but it doesn't specify that it has to be socially accepted moral principles
No. Serial killers have no morality. They don't see what they do as being right or wrong, good or bad, and unless they're part of some organised serial killer group/community/clubhouse, then they've no radical alternative ethical code or rules for them to adhere to either.meaning that a serial killer that only targets redheads would technically be 'ethical' if he does kill a redhead as he is only adhering to his own moral principles.
Ackshually, you are right in that morals and ethics aren't the same, however ethics are the moral principles that guides a persons behaviour, it is in fact not anything external by definition though it can be depending on the context.Ackshully... Morals and ethics aren't the same thing. Similar, but separate from each other.
Morals are an individual thing, belonging to a person. Ethics are an external thing imposed by a group or community as rules and standards that must be adhered to.
An ethical requirement is not always a moral one - It is an ethical requirement in many countries that paedophiles are treated with the same rights under the law. That is in no way a moral thing to have happen in the eyes of many.
See the above point. Ethics can be externally enforced or agreed upon by a gathering of individuals, but it can also very much be an individual thing.Snugglepuff said:No. Serial killers have no morality.

What an incredibly condescending thing to say.Feel free to consult merriam-webster if you are further confused.

"Ethicists today, however, use the terms interchangeably. If they do want to differentiate morality from ethics, the onus is on the ethicist to state the definitions of both terms. Ultimately, the distinction between the two is as substantial as a line drawn in the sand."I see your Merriam-Webster, and raise with the following...

I don't know if it will become a rule, but he said this update will be in May unfortunatelyIsn't it about time a new updates comes out? I thought the dev said every 3 months, or is has it now become every 4 months ?
So 4 months... It was 2 months, he was afraid it was too fast, if something happenend he couldn't keep up. So he made it 3 months...I don't know if it will become a rule, but he said this update will be in May unfortunately
Oh no........So 4 months... It was 2 months, he was afraid it was too fast, if something happenend he couldn't keep up. So he made it 3 months...
And now 4? Damn... one month extra and I forget about the game at all..
Yeh I think it's those tits.... IF not seeing enough, I get withdrawal symptoms, afterOh no........
The real question is, do you realise that?"Ethicists today, however, use the terms interchangeably.

Ultimately, the distinction between the two is as substantial as a line drawn in the sand."
Like, you do realize that both are contingent on eachother, and both can be applied in a personal or societal manner?
Wut?The real question is, do you realise that?
From the get-go you've been latching onto the idea of them being only down to the individual
Literally in my very first post, I specified TWICE that they exist in both entities, yet you were adamant that ethics are solely exists as a widespread societal construct and not in any other capacity.Ackshually, you are right in that morals and ethics aren't the same, however ethics are the moral principles that guides a persons behaviour, it is in fact not anything external by definition though it can be depending on the context.

Brothermans, you're either fighting ghosts or you're slightly dyslexic. In both my posts I've specified numerous times that both morals and ethics apply on a personal and societal level.Snugglepuff said:Even now you're changing your argument so that you're also in error in your initial statement, without actually saying you were in error.
