As ever, condolences to the new arrivals. If you've need of money, contact me; I administer a common fund for newcomers, into which a great many contribute. Likewise, if you're ever in trouble, speak up. Our society is tenuous, but it is a society nevertheless; we do cooperate with one another.

That's a pretty strong topic for debate, Mr. Edgeworth.

voice; mentis_reae September 12 2010, 20:22:47 UTC

Such "strong" topics are the only ones worth debating.

voice; foretells September 12 2010, 20:39:33 UTC

I'm sure there's other things that can be debated that aren't as serious, but... Well, to answer your question, I'm not sure if my parents instilled "good" and "evil" in me. I think someone, or something, that's truly evil would probably be something that is knowingly hurting someone or something else and has no remorse for doing so.

voice; mentis_reae September 12 2010, 20:42:03 UTC

What if it were someone who knowingly hurt another and did feel remorse? Someone who lacked control over his or her actions?

Everyone's getting deep lately.

[ voice ] mentis_reae September 12 2010, 20:25:01 UTC

Is there something wrong with that?

[ voice ] underachieves September 12 2010, 20:27:42 UTC

No, just an observation. I feel like I've already answered most of these questions at some point this week, though.

[ voice ] mentis_reae September 12 2010, 20:28:47 UTC

Apologies for the redundancy, then. I'll not compel you to answer mine.

You may be surprised to know that I actually do have a set system of morality for my own self.

[voice] mentis_reae September 12 2010, 20:46:21 UTC

I am not surprised, Ms. Kurookano. Will you speak on it?

[voice] heartdissonance September 12 2010, 20:50:02 UTC

I am actually quite the promise-keeper. And I don't lie very often.

[voice] mentis_reae September 12 2010, 20:51:51 UTC

What will bring you to lie?

Well. I feel like you know the answers to most of those questions already.

voice mentis_reae September 12 2010, 21:20:32 UTC

I do.

voice heavendivided September 12 2010, 21:24:10 UTC

I'm waiting.

For?

Doubt many people know where their 'morality' comes from. [An amused noise.] I just sorta figured it out myself. When we were kids, Aki'd be sure to let me know when I fucked up.

As for good an' evil... I'd say intent, but that only goes so far.

Any reason for this, or you just bored?

[voice;] mentis_reae September 12 2010, 21:18:33 UTC

Merely thinking.

If commits an act with an evil intent but still ends up helping someone, is it an evil act nevertheless?

[voice;] weaktobullets September 12 2010, 21:23:20 UTC

Right. Perks up discussion here at least.

What, like killing someone for their wallet, but the guy who died was going to kidnap some kids the next day? [pause.] Not like the guy was trying to save 'em. So sure, there's just some good side effects no one'll know about.

[voice;] mentis_reae September 12 2010, 21:31:20 UTC

Or perhaps something more direct. Draining the funds from a corporation which would have used those funds for ill.
