This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Don't toy with me or I'll set off the bombs and kill us both!lacktheknack said:I hope you're not implying I said or meant that, because I didn't.tellmeimaninja said:Yeah. I'm a total scumbag. We should burn me to death.lacktheknack said:Eh? I'd sooner die painlessly than kill ten people horribly. Don't be cynical.tellmeimaninja said:EDIT: Let's see how many "selfless" liars and/or naive people we have.
Just because you haven't come to terms with death and are incredibly selfish doesn't mean everyone else is the same.
So by what criteria do you establish what is significant versus insignificant in this case?Russian_Assassin said:My personal RUTHLESS whims MOOHAHA! But yeah, I am just stating my opinion on this matter. The question was if I consider myself more important than 10 strangers. My answer was yes and in my defense I stated that I do believe in the "sacrifice few for the good of the many" ideology, however only if it concerns large numbers of people.
10 people are insignificant in my eyes. 10.000 however are a whole different story.

The majority of my ideologies and beliefs are the product of over thinking and introspection. I have pondered about the significance of human life before and I reached a certain conclusion as to what the "balance" is (how many lives is my own life worth etc). My principles are strictly personal. I wouldn't say they are the same as the ones of the society I live in.TWRule said:Which are based on what principles...?
