To be honest thought I would love to see individual lines being given to us separate from the videos maybe we can make a forum post about which lines we'd like the most to see

Honestly, I don't think that would be a bad idea. All of us could pitch in $5 or $10 if we wanted. Just created a donor's list and I think many people would be more than happy to give back to Ross with all that he's given to us

This was crazier than the time I was awake for four days straight and thought my house was being invaded by ________

I wonder if he expected it to go this well, after all it's nearly $6000 at this point. Well as of this post. I just find it kinda funny he basically went, "hey guys if you want to make this show better I'm going to need about $500 for a SSD." And we all went, "FUCK YOU ROSS HERE'S $6000"

I don't think religion causes people to kill other people. Religion in of itself is just a set of belifs that a group of people follow (when stripped to the most basic level) however, he difference of opinions DOES make it easier for one person to kill another because they have a different belief system. But this is quickly turning into a debate of whether or not RELIGION is evil, not what evil is inof itself

I must say, I was honestly surprised with how civil most of the people on here are. I'm glad I finally found a forum that isn't 78% bat-shit crazy

I must say, as a man who thinks women are superior, that feminism is often confused with masandry (don't know if I spelt that right). Feminism is the idea to make all sexes equal not just through laws, but also socially and economically. For example: there are laws in place that basically say this: John (a man) has a master's degree, no publications, is a third year college professor he is paid $50,000 therefore Mary (a woman) who has a master's degree, no publications, and is a third year college professor must be paid the same: $50,000. Of course this is one example and it's far more complex than that but the idea is the same. Now what isn't the same is how often John and how often Mary actually reach said position. It is much harder to fight subtle discrimination than clear-cut discrimination. That is a huge reason feminism exists: to change the way sexes are viewed not just by law, but also socially. Now there are gaps in this argument along with assumptions but I hope what I'm trying to say is clear

For me, it depends. But aside from that here's an even bigger question: if suicide is illegal or the person viewed doing it is "selfish" does that mean in reality we don't have true control over our bodies and have little to know freedom to do what we want. Especially for people who are on their death bed and want nothing more than to die. Since it is illegal, in many states, to kill yourself does this mean none of us really have ANY control over what we do or where we want to go?

Another question that has been unanswered in this threat is whether or not the punishments is fair. Of course these laws vary from country to country. However I do know that certain drug dealers, on average, receive higher jail time than rapists. So essentially the question is this: how harsh should drug law enforcement be?

If I'm not mistaken I believe this is because of the agreement between American internet providers (such as comcast) to keep prices high and resembles heavily of a trust from the 19th century

Another thing to consider in this argument is this: what if a person does an "evil" action, such as a murder, without realizing it? This person probably isn't evil, just in a different reality, but at what point does "different reality" turn into "evil psychopath". The line between the two is very blurry and it (i'm sure) greatly depends on how the person reacts to the news. But the question remains: How much crazy does a person need to be in order to be considered crazy and (for the most part) excused from evil behavior?

I can definitely understand where you're coming from on this: every situation is different and every prospective is different. I can see that BUT what you're describing seems more good vs. bad, right and wrong, that kind of thing. For me evil is far more than simple conflicting ideals or a crime. There is a big difference, for me at least, between robbing a store (bad but not evil) and breaking into an orphanage and shooting all the children in the face. This is an extreme example I know but I just wanted to demonstrate what i meant. So I do get what you're saying but it seems to me that falls more under right and wrong. And while I'm on this topic I've been talking with some people on the outernet (that scary place that is also referred to as "outside") and one of them brought up a very good point. For them evil is the corruption of love in order to gain something. When you have someone love and idea, place, or person and use that love to trick a person into doing a bad thing: that is evil. While I can see that point I still think that evil can be done without corruption of love. Sorry, not relevant to what you were saying but it was such a good point I HAD to share it.

A question, long debated and in no way will this post EVER stop it nor will it define it, nevertheless it is a good question. How can we, human beings, define evil? Is anything that purposefully causes pain and suffering "evil"? In that case we are all evil. We hurt ourselves, in a way, through challenges, bad decisions, and purposefully doing things that directly cause pain to us. What I mean by this is that if we are to define "evil" so loosely it is too broad to be really applicable to anything. If we say this is evil then every single politician ever has been evil since all actions have the butterfly effect on personal levels. All politicians have purposefully hurt someone in the sense that they have passed, voted on, struck down, etc. a law/interpretation/whatever that has in some way hurt someone. Are the courts that upheld child labor in the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries evil? Are the lawmakers who opposed slavery evil? Are all soldiers evil? Of course not, not all these people are evil, at least for there times. During the 19th and 20th centuries child labor was considered perfectly fine and many who opposed child labor were seen as "too soft" does this mean that we need to think of every father or mother that put Little Billy to work is evil? What about slavery? Was slavery evil? In the practice that existed and ever has existed: yes, most people who are alive today consider slavery evil. Does that mean that the slave owners are evil? Does this mean that using animals as slaves is evil? By this I mean mostly work animals such and dogs, mules, camels, horses, etc. but the idea is the same. What is evil? At what point do we say, "this is evil and this isn't" a natural assumption is to say that, "it's a lot of grey area and it depends on case to case." and I can totally see that point of view, however I personally believe that internally we apply certain rules that go something like this: Personal effect: a person who kills a robber isn't considered evil, a person who kills merely for pleasure is usually considered evil. a person robbing a story for medicine money is considered far less evil that a person robbing a store for kicks. In essence: what does that evil-doer get in return? Why is this act committed? What led the person to commit such actions? Severity: A person shot in the head or who is killed via euthanasia is usually considered far less evil than say: chopping someone to bids or drawing out their death for hours or days. To what extent was this action carried out? Did it last for a long time? Does the person who suffers from the action recover from it or does it scar them in more ways than one? Frequency: How often was this evil committed? Spying on your neighbor once because you think he slept with your wife usually isn't considered evil (just creepy as fuck) but if you were to spy on the entire neighborhood for years, people would probably call that evil. How often does this evil occur? If often how many people did it effect? Attitude: Take a mother who smothered her baby because it kept crying and she didn't want her and her entire family killed/raped (and this does happen a lot with modern civil wars) she's probably scared, panicked, and deeply apologetic after the fact. A mother how smothers her child because they wouldn't eat their vegetables would be considered evil. How does one feel during the act and after the act? What emotions are coursing through them at the time. Intentionality: A politician passes a bill that raises the price of wheat in a certain region of the country. Because of this food prices are raised and many many people are forced to go hungry or be unable to make ends meet, is that evil? What about a politician who passes a bill that allows the police to execute civilians and then sets up a quota system? A person who causes suffering through intentional acts, but end up hurting people from unexpected consequences are generally not considered evil. Those who intentionally do an action knowing full well it will hurt someone makes it seems far more evil. Viewpoints: A women beats her child for talking back to her, she beats the child so hard that leaves large bruises on the child's arm. Evil? What if I told you this was during the Great Depression? What if I told you that this happened last night in San Fransisco? How society views actions in any given place/time/scenario greatly determines if something is considered evil or not. This is just scratching the surface of the problem, let me know what you think about evil, what is considered evil, and how to define it. I'm always looking for intellectual debate or discussion.
