youwish959 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Don't be asinine. Any DoWs on Polaris and friends are in unconditional support of allies and a rejection of Grub's attempt to install himself as the moral authority of CN. Racism doesn't even exist in this world, and if it did it's no one's place to police it. If noone can police anything, then what will we have but a cesspool?

Zombie Glaucon Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wrong is in the eye of the beholder. Wrong doesn't exist here or anywhere else. Wrong is just subjective phrase and up to any one's point of view. Ultimately, it's the majority that oppresses the minority on what is wrong or right, but that doesn't make it fact. Your contention then is that there is no such thing as absolute truth with respect to morals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live according to your own beliefs and set a positive example, if that's what you believe anyway. I don't like people spitting gum all over the sidewalk but I'm not going to kick them in the mouth over it. Part of getting along in a free society is looking out for your own and accepting that which you cannot change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulafaras Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 If noone can police anything, then what will we have but a cesspool? No one has ever policed Bob. Any attempt to "police" was usually a rather thin smokescreen for different motives. Frankly a police can only exist if some kind of rulership exists to create laws, since we lack the later we cannot have the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trace Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 No, it hasn't. What world have you been living in? I don't mean that offensively, but seriously I thought almost everyone was in agreement that CN has been a cesspool since time began. It's one of the things we can ALL agree on.

Il Impero Romano Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 What was the CB for the NPO? Attacking OV? Well sure that was the stated CB, but we ALL know the real reason why people wanted to kill them. Nobody cared about OV, just killing the NPO and that was a convenient "legal" way to do it. Well gee, that's just completely and utterly false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
