This is perhaps the only reasonable argument you've presented so far, and it's not even yours. Please learn some communication skills, insulting people isn't the way to win an argument.

I'm not going to continue to argue with you any further. It is clear to me that neither of us are going to convince the other, and to be honest, I find your views disturbing. I guess though, that you probably think the same about me

Let me ask you this. If it were a family member you loved drowning, and someone who would do a great deal of good for the world is too (shall we say, someone who is donating, and - if they survive - will continue to donate, vast amounts of money to charity). Who would you save? Yes, I guess...

I never said I want someone else to die, I just said I value the life of the pet I love over the stranger I don't know. That doesn't mean I don't value the life of the stranger. It means that I put a whole lot of value, more than that of the stranger, on the life of my pet.

See, I would argue that the vast majority of people, let's say at least 80% of the population, understand basic morality. The fact that the results are pretty much tied then, surely suggests that this isn't that simple. All you're doing is labeling us wrong, because our opinions aren't...

And you sir, are a bigoted, stubborn, intolerant, narrow minded tosser, with a severe lack of communication skills.

Putting something in bold capitals doesn't magically make it fact. This is just your opinion. Morals are, at least to an extent, subjective. Just as my post is my opinion. I'm not trying to present it as anything else, rather I'm (trying) to present my side of the argument in a manner which you...

I suspect (and hope) that mods and such will fix all these issues. It's a brilliant game

I'm an alright swimmer, I can do distance but not speed. I used to be able to do all kinds of tricks on a BMX, until I broke my collarbone a few years back. I can still ride a bike, but I get scared doing anything where there is a chance I might hurt myself. Riding on steep hills, busy...

I think Heavy Rain did it best, where death meant just that - one of your characters dies, and the story continues without them.

That's an interesting viewpoint. Purely out of interest, where do you draw the line? When does a creatures life gain value to you? There is a gorrila that can speak in sign language, and communicate well with a team of scientists, does that life have value? What if - hypothetically speaking - we...

I just did. From the Oxford dictionary: Is a cat not able to feel pain? How about a dog, aren't they able to perceive when their owner is angry at them? Do you need me to get you the definitions of pain and perceive too?

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me as though you place virtually no value, if any, on animal life. Below is a question similar to the OP's that I asked the OP a while ago. <spoiler=my question>Person A is your mother/girlfriend/brother/someone else who you love and are close...

So if we met aliens of equal intelligence to us, they're somehow inherently less important than us? I know it's a hypothetical scenario, and that we probably wont meet sentient life in our lifetimes, but I suspect beliefs like yours are how racism started.
