To: Anyone (aka: Open Mic question)

What is the most delicious pork based product, disregarding bacon?

Porkchops probably. Ham is good too, but it can be done poorly.

Sausages.

Why do we execute people to teach them that murder is wrong?
[/quote]

Because killing =/= murder. While the end result is the same, the reasons are different.
[/quote]An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

It's not vengeance, it's judgement.
You don't kill him because of some personal vendetta, you kill him because he's bad for the society. It's not an "eye for an eye", it's scooping out an gangrenous eye to save your entire body.

On a side note: Does anyone else think metaphors are stupid and unemcompassing?

Maybe. Depends on how a person use it.

Also, what should I eat this very moment?

Burrito!

If an alien came to Earth and offered you alone the opportunity to go explore the rest of the universe (a la The Doctor), but told you that you could never return to Earth, would you?

Nope. My love is here on earth somewhere.

For everyone here what is your opinion on what good and bad actually is if it even exists? I have my own thoughts but I would rather hear brbu's right now then express my own.

Morality is completely different to each person and wired right into the core of your brain. Unless you go under some kind of revelation it's something that sticks with you your entire life. Of course something like good and bad exists, but it's open to interpretation.

Pretty much how I see it, good and evil is all due to perception and perception is subject to the person holding it. So in a way both exist if you want them to and they don't if you don't want them to.

There are some things that are always good, and some things that are always bad. As for the rest, it's a bit more open to interpretation.

Does anyone really care about Afghanistan?

I think the main problem with the US interpretation of Afghanistan and Iraq is that the media refuses to give us insight about what is happening there, the rational why we can't pull out, etc.  I never understood why we invaded beyond retaliation, which at some level i understand, but i do understand the difficulties of an insurgency fought war and the dangers of leaving a near helpless government while thugs threaten to take over after withdrawal.  As much as i would love withdrawal from either war (not counting libya i guess, but intervening that and not in other countries with similar circumstances still confounds me)

That being said, i still think that the last really justifiable war we fought was Kosovo, which was at least a conflict that had a clear objective and a clear moral rational.  But i do think that the american media has a responsibility to cover the ground war in the middle east more and more.  It's almost as if americans have forgotten what is going on at all to be honest.

Don't worry, these two are safe to search, well for the most part.  Touhou is a series of independent Japanese shooters and gensokyo is the setting of it.

wyrmidon you're ruining it

I want a honest answer from all who respond to this question. Do you find me annoying and if so why? I don't know if it is just social paranoia or something but I feel like a chunk (not all) of Brb.u is kind of annoyed by me. This question is more out of curiosity and less out of wanting to appeal to anyone.
