Well, maybe you are? Ever stop to think about that?

It might be hard to come to terms with but it's something we might have to have a dialog about...

Alright everyone, we can all calm down a little, please? We can all be friends here!

But he did start the fire...

Take some time off, have a life, learn what you need to learn and come back, AGS will always be here waiting for you...

Well, at least until the great crustacean uprising of 2008... But hey! No pressure!

I think the problem is that you're adding light to a fully lit scene.

The only reason this scene is night time is because the sky is night. Nothing else gives me that feeling, if you swapped out the stars for a nice mid afternoon sunny day it would work fine. So what you're trying to do is add MORE light to a scene that is already full of light.

What you should be doing is paying attention to the darkenss and not the light, the best way to make something appear bright and lit up [like the area around the street lamp] is to make everything around it dark. Light doesn't show up without dark and shadow.

In that image from my tutorial the scene is definetly night time, know what I mean?

By golly Holmes! That's the time of the murder!

be smart about, mature about, knowledgable about and then enjoyed the HECK out of!

Can't we just apply this to every controversial topic and all go home?

And only when it comes to sex? What about if your wife to be made out with the entire football team? Doesn't matter? Or what about handjobs? Are those ok? Strip teases? Masterbating in front of guys?

But mostly the making out part... If you find your wife to be has gone out with 20 guys and kissed a majority of them from goodnight to make out, would you refuse to kiss them?

There are very few women in gay porno, Stranger... Explain!

also, there are TONS of reasons to get married legally!

Power of attorney being one huge one, anyone remember the whole food tube removal fiasco?

1,049 reasons to get legally married...

Just wanted to quickly add before I have to really go back to work...

I like the idea that stealing is wrong morally being brought up on an Adventure Game forum when all you did in every adventure game is steal everything that isn't nailed down...

Quite funny in my opinion!

So you believe god would punish you for feeding your child?

If you say yes then I think that's all that needs to be said ever again until the end of time.

Esper's Nazi question is pretty interesting also. Would god punish you for saving the lives of people from an insane government? If I understand you correctly then no matter the situation you will be punished in some way for disobeying a religious law. So while you've just saved the lives of your child, your baby girl, or the lives of complete strangers who are only guilty of being alive [as per Esper's question] you will be punished.

So then what is the absolute right and absolute wrong in these situations. What is the correct way to act?

"Eric, if I were to take the food to feed my child, I would pay for it somehow."

But would you, would you steal to save the life of your dying child? And if you would... If you admit that you'd do that to save your child, are you a moral person because you have the potential to do bad?

Or mine, cheesy pleasey?

I answered 10 of yours

Those were some questions to start off with... I notice everything I do is just not enough. This is ok though, Eric answered all the questions to my satisfaction. I just translated them for those of you who did not want to read his whole explanation.

I take it none of you are happy by this either?

I just want an answer to my new question. I want to know if that is a yes or no situation that fits into your moral code.

...the world probably has about 150 moral people in it, and they're all under the age of 1.

If you are a parent to any of them, I'd bring down that number. By that statement are you admitting to being immoral?

By your standards I highly doubt there is even 1 moral person in this world. I'm sure you'll say your family is totally 100% moral and right though.

Now, I have one for you, just one really...

1.) Do you think it's wrong to steal?

Yes. Taking something, that is not yours, from another is wrong.

Ok then hypothetical:

You live by the ocean and a hurricane floods your city, freak of nature or act of god, whichever you want to think. You are trudging through waist high filthy water and sewage with one of your children on your back. She hasn't eaten for 5 days. In front of you is a supermarket full of food. Some of it is destroyed, some spoiled but there are tons of canned foods on higher shelves. The moral thing to do in this situation is let your child go hungry and die?

This is a moral choice to me, not taking a picture of my nipples and giving them to my girlfriend. And this is where black and white does not work.

Also, thanks for, as has been noted, taking all of my answers and boiling them down to yes or no. I didn't know you thought in binary, it would have saved me the trouble of even writing them out like.

Vomit and piss, eh?

I didn't say this was a private conversation and I didn't say you couldn't post, all I was saying is that if you think this is going in "no reasonable direction" then you are wrong and I told you why. "What does it even matter?" It matters to me, the first of what you wrote was insulting to me, I guess I don't get the right to comment on that then without pissing or vomiting.

Now please, continue disliking me if you want! Big mean ol' eric! RRR!

Or how about we just chalk this up to a misunderstanding and forget about it? My personal choice.

"For Pete's sake... What does it even matter? Where is this even going?"

I asked Rharpe a question and he answered it, it matters because I asked a question. Where this is going is Rharpe will tell me he feels I'm amoral and hopefully he'll answer my question and we'll have a conversation. If you tire of the thread you don't have to read it.

He's not saying I'm an incestual child humper, he's seeing if I'm ok with incenstual child humpers... I'll answer them in a second, I

have to go poop.

Pooped:

1.) Do you think pornography is wrong?

Well, a dictionary definition of pornography is:

"Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal"

So let's take that first: If a man takes a sexy photo of himself and gives it to his wife I don't see how that is wrong. Do you?

You probably ment the porno industry that creates tapes and images and websites full of naked people and sex acts [some bizarre] and

usually charges for them... No, there is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong with the industry is when someone does something

illegal. When someone is forced to do something they don't want to do or is coerced with drugs into it. That's wrong, but it isn't

limited to just the porno industry.

2.) Do you think fornication is wrong?

Dictionary:

Sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other.

Well now you have to take the word marriage into account. There are tons of cultures with different takes on marriage and I don't know

them all so let's assume that marriage usually means 2 people together forever [or until divorce]. That being said, I am not against

people who aren't married making love. And marriage has more to do with governmental laws than it does religion so I don't see how this

applies to god. After all "By the power vested in me by the state of Kansas." Shouldn't it be "By the power vested in my by the lord god

and with some help from Kansas."?

3.) Do you think cheating is wrong?

Cheating on a lover or spouse you mean? [are these all about sex?] I personally would never cheat on Jess. And I'm not talking about

this "If you ever look at another woman and find her attractive, you're cheating!" deal, I mean sleeping with another woman or man.

4.) Do you think adultery is wrong?

Dictionary:

Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse.

I see this as different from cheating because you appear too also or you'd have only listed one of them. Cheating appears to be without

the spouses knowledge, this could be with the spouse in the room! If everyone involved is ok with it and having a good time, I don't see

why not.

5.) Do you think immodesty is wrong?

Even looking at the dictionary I don't know how to take this word. Someone who wears a short skirt or a bikini? I'm confused.

6.) Do you think erotism is wrong?

Again, I'm sure you'd agree [maybe not!] that in the context of a marriage, sex and eroticsm is super! Tie your husband to the bed and

slather him in honey for all I care. Between unmarried couples and in the world in general? What's the problem? Erotic images and

writing and feelings aren't evil. They have their place in a society, you don't put nipples on school buses but in a book or media ment

for those of legal age? Why not?

7.) Do you think polygamy is wrong?

I don't know. I don't know enough about it. But like with everything there are people who do just fine with it and people who are hurt

by it, I'm sure.

8.) Do you think sodomy is wrong?

Dictionary:

Any of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural or abnormal, especially anal intercourse or bestiality

Trick question unless you only ment anal sex. If you only ment anal sex then I say no, nothing wrong with it. As long as both parties

are cool with it. There are tons of unnatural forms of sex [natural being defined as vaginal intercoure with a penis] and as long as

it's legal and the people are consenting adults, go for it.

9.) Do you think hedonism is wrong?

Dictionary:

Pursuit of or devotion to pleasure, especially to the pleasures of the senses

I'm guessing this is again related to sex since all the others are, but it's too vague and meaningless to me. I can't think of this word

in relation to the world and people in it.

10.) Do you think incest is wrong?

Yup!

************************************************************

Well, that was a whole lot of sex! Frankly, I'm pooped!

If after answer 10 questions about sex you can say I'm amoral then that opens the floodgates to more questions, does that mean I have no

qualms with killing people? Stealing TVs? Eating people? Beating up old women? Scratching my name in cars? Setting fire to hospitals?

Dictionary:

Not admitting of moral distinctions or judgments; neither moral nor immoral.
Lacking moral sensibility; not caring about right and wrong.

If because I have no problem with someone taking it up the pooper in a consenting fashion means I don't care about right or wrong, the

world probably has about 150 moral people in it, and they're all under the age of 1.

Now, I have one for you, just one really...

1.) Do you think it's wrong to steal?

Eric

*I only quoted the dictionary so that we could maybe agree on a definition before discussing the word, if you have another definition you prefer for a word, please say so!

hah I figured there was something, how do you get to it?

8 - 10 was a maximum, not minimum, it's fine!

Thanks for entering!

in one of the life and death games [I think, well some surgery game] my brother and I would see how much of our name we could carve into the stomach of a patient before we were pulled out of surgery...

When I open up my medical practice, would you consider joining, Boyd?
