Curse

I wish to apologize for the topic "Exploitation of New Players and Child Gamers". Upon further contemplation of the subject many statements have to be withdrawn. Basicly I was caught in the moment. Normally that side of of me does not show itself unless provoked.

I would like to state my philosophy on the subject of Survival.

The world is full of those who will exploit others for personal gain. However there are people who feel the need to help others as well, even to the point of self ruin. Both can be problems. My biggest concern with altruism though is that it has a tendancy of solving immediate problems but contributing to much larger ones or those that will have more destructive effects later on. We as a species are not making any evolutionary progress, infact our gene pool is degrading because of over reliance on technology and because of would be altruists. I have no qualms against technology as a whole however certain aspects will lead to our ruin as a species.

Our biggest problem is that we are retaining bad genes with each generation because of medical technologies. Example: Genetic diseases and other gene related ailments are being treated when they should be allowed to phase out of existance. People who's genetics cause them to die at a young age or are otherwise harmful be the result cancer, genetic related birth defect, mental retardation, or any other serious genetic defect should not be treated unless it can figured out how to eradicate the genes in them that are causing the problem. If they are treated and they reproduce their defective genes are passed on and those offspring then reproduce with others who have defects causing even worse problems. If a person like this want to be treated and the disease can be made not to affect their progeny by all means go ahead and treat them. However currently we lack the ability to do so. So until such time I advise that those who have such diseases should be sterilized if they are treated, if not the problem usually solves itself. Bad genes usually remove themselves from the gene pool if nobody intervenes.

Altruism is another severe problem. I have stated before "Altruism has its place". Example: Suppose you hear a cry for help from someone being mugged in an alley or is being the victim something that puts their life in danger. No one else is around to help them and it is in your power to save them. What do you do? My answer is leave them alone. They should be able to defend themselves. After all what happens next time and no one is their to help? However under certain circumstances I would help. If the odds of survival were unreasonable for this person or if by helping them it would benefit me later are both good reasons.
This quote from the song Remedy by Seether seems appropiate:
"Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, You'll be the death of me"

Their is nothing wrong with theft. If one can not protect one's possesions one does not deserve to have them. However I do believe that one should not steal unless it is neccesary. A good example is if you were travelling alone through a desert and you have run out of supplies for some reason or another. So you continue on, slowly dieing of thirst, and you know you will die before you reach your destination. However you happen upon a traveller who has supplies but only enough for one person and he has no intention of helping you. However you have the means to take his food and water by force. You have two options:
A. Continue on leaving the traveller alone.
B. Take his food and water by force. And in doing so you doom him to the fate you would have otherwise suffered if you do not kill him in the process that is.
I would take option B because if I were to take option A I die. When it comes down to survival there is no good or evil merely live or die nothing more. This is why I have begun to doubt the existence of good and evil as anything more than human concepts and ideals. Good and evil are really more about perspective of the individual than as universal truths.

On the topic "Exploitation of New Players and Child Gamers". Child gamers are a pain in the ass to begin with (Mainly due to the fact that many of them are arrogant little priks who think they are the most "5_3. #337" player in the game even when they suck worse than a gay vampire and many also have a tendancy of constantly dropping F Bombs and swearing inappropiatly). New players who have not studied the game's economy before hand are lazy and deserve whats coming to them. I realize I should not have said anything to the female monk as her calling the guy who was buying black dye for 90g a "scammer" does not affect me. However if such a person were targeting me than I would have to say something about it. But I will still buy cheap dyes in pre-searing when I can and if that is scamming then that means anyone who buys low and sells high is also a scammer.

Note: When I say survival in reffering to the game I am referring to economic survival not "live or die" survival. Also I have realised that anarchy is not the way the world should be. Like communism it seems good on paper but in practice it fails unless used for small groups.

Please comment.

I beleive that midgets should not be allowed to breed for the safety of the human race! Asians too, those buggers are really annoying me.

/sarcasm.

Needless to say... I disagree with everything posted. For every reason you seem to have denied the existance of justification for, and for every converse of everything you've said here.

I'll buy the black dye for 5k more than whatever this guy is offering.

What are you talking about? Your acting like I'm a racist. All I'm saying is if someone has a serious genetic disease they should not be allowed to reproduce for the good of humanity. It is better to resolve the problem before it happens, rather than fix it later. Bad genes are dealt with. This kind of thing happens all the time in nature. I'm not saying we should kill people with bad genetics. If someone dies of a genetic disease then yes its horrible that they die but it is better that it ends with them becuase if not they may have children who also carry said disease and then pass it on to their children.

And I'm saying that I disagree. It's simple. I share the completely opposite view on that.

So there is no good or evil? If you are being robbed nobody should come to answer your cry for help? You should take whatever you can to survive and to hell with everyone else? This is the way you think, it breeds all kinds of horrible people. I disagree with you, you are saying that the strongest person, or the one with access to weapons should be the ones who get everything while the weak get nothing.

Apparently you're justifying a lot of horrible crimes that happen every day, here's an example: You are poor, no college education, no way to eat or drink. You spot an unescorted, wealthy woman walking down the street. Your strand of logic (if you can call it that), would prompt you to beat her to death and take all her worldly posessions which you have done nothing but overpower someone weaker than you to gain.

I said theft should only be performed when neccesary. What is neccesary varies from person to person. I think it is only justifiable when one has to resort to such things for survival or if one is shoplifting from a place like walmart (Its a heartless corporation anyway they deserve it, youv'e heard how those guys treat there workers right?). I'm not promoting what are considered immoral actions (from my perspective anyway). I said doubt good and evil as universal truths, not that they don't exist and its not like I'm saying I'm going to beat up a guy just because I like his coat or kill someone just because I can.
