interesting moral question
 

Sorry lover, you're toast.

Anyway, if I was God afterwards, I could just forgive myself for my sins, and resurrect my loved one.

I BEAT THE SYSTEM.

I'd do it easily. I'd be fucking GOD! I could easily bring the friend back to life

So where's this Supreme Being? I wan an offer like that :(

it's hypothetical

Smash my hopes and dreams why don't you.

I'll do more than that! I'll give you what's for!

LIEK NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dat hurted :(

Smashing! No, start smashing things! *smash!* Perfect! It's curtains for you, Ming vase!

BANANA BOMB!

I would never even contemplate such a thing...Ressurection or not, I would never hurt anyone that I love...Even for a minute...NOTHING would be worth it

Not even if the one you loved was planning on hurting you?

They'd be better off afterwards. I mean, I would want proof, and a 30 day trial first, cause I'm no idiot. But if it was completely on the up-and-up, logistically it'd be dumb NOT to.

Well. Ive had this convo with my ex... if they kept comming back.... to hell with it. Yeah I brutally murder them for a lark!!!

Why would you even need the other two options? If you were God, you could make them happen anyway.

Where'd you find this faulty question? :p

Actually, I don't believe that was part of the original premise...However, if you are just asking personally...NO, I would not...No matter what

I got it off an anime board.

Once again, the person would be better off afterwards if you did it

Well, it wasn't part of the original question.

Although, you said you'd never hurt the one you loved, so I posed a question to see if I could find out if it were true.

But then again, I don't believe that anyone truly knows what they'd do in any high stress situation.

For example, if a killer came into your house, you can say you'd protect your children first over your own life, and your wives, but you don't know. You can't make a judgement like that until it really happens. The combination of stress, adrenaline, etc... You just don't know what you'd do until it actually happened.

In a situation such as you have described, it may be difficult to think clearly...In such situations instinct usually prevails...It is a mother's natural instinct to protect her children first, even over her own life

That was only one example. Pick any example from an unlimited array where you're probably not thinking clearly.

Which is my point... Until you're in a limited, high stress environment like that, you don't know what you'd do.

I still believe that, no matter what the situation...
Instinct=Protect your children

in answer to the original question i would kill my loved one in order to get the powers. then i would ressurect them, and use my power to do things for myself and my loved ones. then help the world if i have time :) :)

Heres a mind tickler from Descartes

Everything you know, is gained from knowing that it (whatever you know) is clear and distinct, but what if your mind is decieving you into believing that knowledge is clear and distinct, when in actuality it isn't.

Descartes-" that can't happen because god would not allow me to be cevieved when I am using my mental faculties properly, since god gave them to me to use for aquiring knowledge (clear and distinct ideas)

How then can you be sure that god exists, what are your clear and distinct ideas.


His answere was "because I have a clear and distint reason that god exists."

Highlight for his answere, but be aware its a Cartesian Circle.

.... I think, therefore I pwn you.

Actually, that is a famous Descartes quote, but most people don't know who said it.

Unit 03, I had to study Des Cartes in my Religious Studies classes. I hate his logical notions, because they're boring and stupid. I mean, hell, the man thought the soul resided in the petuitary gland. That question only works if you're JudeoChristian, anyway. In my world, nothing's promised, nothing is totally secure. Besides besides BESIDES, as someone who is mentally ill, fuck it. I don't really have "clear" and "distinct" ideas.

However Des Cartes would say that my illness, especially mental, stems from my disconection with "God."

Rayne, I agree with you totally. I could not, under any circumstances kill my loved one, even to become a Goddess. The Morrigan is doing an excellent job, Herself, anyway.

Descartes was a schmuck. But then, so are most philosophers anyway. They tend to leave out the "I think..." before telling you how the world works.

"Cogito Ergo Sum" - I think, therefore, I am.

The original quote from Reneé Descartes.

I have heard of two variations:

"Cogito Ergo Sum Atheos" - I think, therefore, I am without God (or "an Atheist")

And I created my own:

"Cogito Ergo Sum Doleo" - I think, therefore, I am in pain.

*FADE OUT*

I would do it for free.

Immortality would probably suit me, but, since its "the loved one" case, it's gonna have to be the CheebaGod thing.
Unless I read the small print,
and the "resurrection of brutally murdered loved one" was something that I, being a "Murderous god" wasn't "entitled" to.]
ps - Pwned?

Bloodrayne....you probably saw this comin' from me...
EVEN if they wanted to shove rusted-up nails in yer eyeballz?

Dude,....OW!! That is a mental image that I would prefer to do without. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!

I may as go all the way and say " after having your eyelids sliced off with a scalpel ,splashed with a solution of methylated spirits /caustic soda, being tied to a deckchair, facing up towards the sun for a day, and just as night falls, having your eyeballs scoured with a cheese grater"

The eyelids slashed off with the scalpel did me in.


You suck. :D

Hey, It would be pretty fucked up, dontcha think.....just imagine now how the eyeball being "grated" from a first person view would look, do ya think the shit'd like, rip chunks outta your vision @ first? I think Id't have to look kinda funky if I gotta admit it...painful funky....shit - the painfunk experience!

I don't think you'd be able to see a whole lot after that initial grate tears off your visual tools. You're right, though, to see it coming towards your eye, knowing that it's going to hurt you...a lot.

Also, after the painful experience of having your eyelids removed, blood would be running in your eyes, and also, you wouldn't be able to blink out anything. So before the person started grating away your eyes, they would already be really really sore.

Do you think some rising voltage applied to the eyeballs surface could eventually make the eyeball explode?
if you can avoid it at this point, try not to imagine the fp "visuals" on that...probably can't, huh? yep...that's probably why I said it...heh-heh-heh....

Exploding eyeballs!!! Yuck! Can you imagine the sensation of voltage to your eyeballs?? That would feel so weird, especially sense your eyeballs are like jelly. They'd wiggle...until they exploded...and they'd probably get really hot too...and then pop....imagine the sound. Stop it Cheeba!

something like a raw egg being thrown at a wall maybe?
hey the wigglevission would just be, and look fucked up, while it lasted...kinda like wearing prescription glasses (or wrong prescription glasses) and resting your chin on a jackhammer, that is, before the eyes hard boiled or again, the explosion theory.
Dunno if I'm done quiet yet....

I wonder if you'd see the first bit of your eyes exploding or would they be to burnt. Hey, I wonder what cooked eyes smell like. Actually they'd just start to run. I wonder if you'd you'd see the first bit of that or if the optic nerve would just be totally fucked. Imagine feeling the hot liquid of your eye juice running down your face.

I like wigglevision...but it be more like hot smokey waves?
