wrong

[Pandaka]

Go on... Why is it wrong?

[Buddyroe274]

I don't care to elaborate, You're just wrong

[Pandaka]

Not helping your case bro.

Youre just looking like a stupid dog barking at the wind.

Not helping anything here...

[Pandaka]

I think what everyones getting all butthurt about is me saying everything anyone does is selfish.

While that may seem mean and insulting at first, i respond by also stating that being selfish is not bad nor necessarily detrimental to the world or others.

In fact, being selfish is what makes the world go round.

Both good and bad come from initially selfish decisions.

Being selfish is not always bad; in fact it can be good.

[Buddyroe274]

How do tell a dog he's not right for barking at the wind.........Your ability to rationalize blinds you to what is evident to what you consider a lesser being based on ego.

[slyfoxx2]

Eh, butthurt. You're a bad person.

Anyway, I wasn't butthurt, you child, I find your standard to be asinine or poorly operationalized if you want to be scientific.

[Pandaka]

Ok.

Dogs can bark at nothing.

Sure.

Im a jerk for thinking otherwise.

I got quite the ego problem; being human and all.

But just because its alright for a dog to bark at nothing doesent mean you can blurt out an answer to a question with no backing.

It still makes one look... lazy and dumb.

Never the less, sorry dogs of the world... You can bark at the wind all you want; just dont keep me up at night if thats possible.

[Pandaka]

Aww why am I a bad person?

I don't think that being a good person merely entails one's actions being coincidentally beneficial to others- you either have a proclivity toward helping people or you don't. Everyone's actions will harm others to some degree they will help others to some degree, collaterally if nothing else- therefore the only unifying factor is self interest (i.e. whether a particular course of action I take helps others or whether it harms them I will do it because it's in my self interest)- I can't think of anyone who breaks this rule in their behaviour.

The mark of a good or a bad person is this- in a situation where they can choose to behave pro-socially or anti-socially with no benefit or loss accruing for them personally under either circumstance (note: I include level of exertion required in loss) do they behave prosocially or antisocially? If they behave prosocially then they're a good person, if they behave antisocially then they're a bad person. I would love to put this into practice and be known as the guy who came up with a foolproof way to spot evil, but I can't think of such a situation, perhaps that's no coincidence.

Ide like to think I would take the higher road in such a perfect situation.
But the world isnt so clean cut. So i guess youll see me as a bad person. Not really the first time i got that. :/

Have you not been paying attention.......That's exactly what I did

[Pandaka]

I havent been paying attention...

[evilGnome]

This is really kind of nit-picky. When people refer to "selfless" acts, they're referring to actions which put the needs and welfare of others above your own, even when it's not in your best interest. The truth is, everyone had this same epiphany in middle school, rolled with it for a few months, and then realized it wasn't profound.

[slyfoxx2]

You said butthurt, that's why you're a bad person.

[Pandaka]

Oh.

If thats why... then yea... Im a bad person.

You dont like the term butthurt?

I guess it can be a pretty annoying term... i guess?

[Pandaka]

If i use this middle school epiphany as you called it, fluff it up with some fancy anthro words... I could get this published.

Anthro works that way.

I agree with that im saying, and think that its nothing too crazy, but i want my prof to like this and publish it.

What can i say, im selfish.

All youve said is "YOURE WRONG AND IM RIGHT! YOURE DUMB BECAUSE THIS IS NOTHING!"

I was stating my assumption and asking for meaningful feedback, which is what ive been getting from others.

You though, you just regurgitate what others have said while keeping your holier than thou attitude.

Youre quite the pathetic guy on the internet bro.

Then again, youre prolly doing it on purpose to troll the thread and me.

And you just succeeded cuz i did reply to you.

Good job.

Huh? You make no sense to me!

[Pandaka]

Good.

I know you think you are accurately reading peoples thoughts, and are mastering human beings and what motivates them. But the only being that can do that is God.

I think you need to get out more, and this is coming from a guy who never gets out himself.

just saying bro.

Woah bro... Blew my mind.

Here I was thinking humanity had unparalled amounts of potential if one puts his mind to it and one still had the ability to have inductive thought... but... we got god there... always crashing our fun.

Thanks for being a jerk there god, thanks a ton.

Have you ever donated your time at all? To charity?

Even, maybe the salvation army, or one of those organizations that go to over seas countries where your comfortable living is like a foreign dream over there?

Oh man, this guy has been trolling, and rollin, rollin' n trollin' an bowlin, he trollin' dirteeeeh, he trollin' dirteeeeh

[Pandaka]

Just because i think all people are selfish and that every action has an initial selfish undertone doesent mean i dont do some charity.

I give blood almost regularly at my uni.

Plus im hoping to get to med school in a couple years.

But yea man... dat trollin.

Wrong. People who volunteer get nothing other than feeling good about helping someone.

That is exactly what you gain.

And what im trying to say.

That feeling alone is something to gain, even if its small and not what you consciously decide you act upon.

---

If helping someone is the only way someone can feel good about themselves I would agree with that, but it just isn't so.

I give to charities and a lot of time I feel nothing about it.

---

You give to them because you are getting something in return, or are you Dexter Morgan who doesn't feel anything and you're just donating to those charities to keep a low profile?

---

I give to them because who else will? People are in need, I realized it a long time ago, and so I donate. I don't think about it while I'm doing it and I don't think about it afterward.

---

Helping people in need was your reward. Whether it be a mental fulfillment or something else, you got something out of it.

---

Like what?

---

A good feeling, personal satisfaction, or you just cleaned your closet out and got rid of your old clothes.

---

I don't give my clothes to charity. I dunno why you insist I feel anything about when I already told you I don't. I've done since I was little and it's not even a thought now.

Yes but, what do you gain out of giving something?

Sometimes, people feel horrible and still do the right thing. Still give instead of take.

Some people, take without giving.

So they "feel" good? But they till do not have. You're not getting anything in return, in fact, according to your logic "feelings" are quanitifiable when in fact, they aren't in the business world.

But your facebook generation is sure trying really really hard to make it that way you babies. This used to be America. Now it's Wahhhhhhwahhhhwahhhhhhhh

ALSO

ZOMBIES ARE REAL.

So I hope you realize once the zombie apoc might possibly start that the guy who stays behind and gets eaten for the rest of the group is not feeling good about doing it, will not feel good during it, and had no good feelings what so ever but sacrificed himself to save the group. So stfu.
