For me it's when people use "stupidly" as an adjective, for example: "that's stupidly clever!" is something I've heard quite a few times., shirley you jest?
Bleh. and no one takes the joke (at least mine). Of course you can be both chaotic good (doing good deeds more or less randomly and provoking anyone of the two other cathegories) or lawful evil. No problems.Gerazzi said:Both of you are wrong.TZer0 said:In the same series: Chaotic good!NoMoreSanity said:I got another:Lawful Evil.
it goes, ETHICS, MORALS.
Also, I have never played DnD, I can't believe no one called you out yet.
God dammit, people.
It's not that hard a concept to understand.
EDIT: I was going to add that when you use the actual meaning of the word then there can really be no oxymorons.
but... I have to so Epic Fail.
Ok, then we will start at square one: defining common sense. Wikipedia says common sense is "beliefs or propositions that seem, to many people, to be prudent and of sound judgment, without dependence upon esoteric knowledge." (esoteric meaning "available to the educated people"). Let's start with my example. The Earth is flat. I can walk for miles and not see curvature of the earth. I can climb to the tallest keep of a castle and not see the earth curve. Using that sound judgment I can say the earth is flat. However, if I had the (esoteric) knowledge of how big the Earth is and it merely seems flat because I am so small in comparison then the Earth is round. The common knowledge that the stove is hot comes from the fact that I know what a stove is and its function. If I were a cave man and walked into a kitchen I could assume that everything is the same temperature so if I touch it, it will feel cool. Now, had the stove been on recently the stove would feel hot which would be beyond my comprehension as to why. Summary: Common sense dictates that things in the same room are the same temperature (based on passed experiences) whereas common knowledge says that isn't true based on the function of an object.SpikeyGirl said:To be honest your post confused me.
For a lot of people I know it seems to be an oxymoron, they have no sense so it's not really common. Actually, the fact they have no sense is common but I digress.
Oh and an unused stove is cold, so your example kinda sucks.
Im sorry. I don't think you know the difference between a lie and an oxymoron.Hyper-space said:Mac computers are superior
All of you are wrong. Lawful Evil typically means you have a code to follow while maiming innocents (ex. honor among thieves). Chaotic Good means you don't follow laws of any kind to do good (ex. Robin Hood). Chaotic Neutral just means you don't follow laws and you don't care what happens to the people around you as long as you get what you want (ex. Jack Sparrow).NoMoreSanity said:Chaotic Neutral to a lesser extent as well.TZer0 said:In the same series: Chaotic good!NoMoreSanity said:I got another:Lawful Evil.
Thanks for the mini essay. Just a few questions: why would a caveman be in a kitchen? Why would you look from a keep in a castle?crudus said:Ok, then we will start at square one: defining common sense.

Well to answer your questions:SpikeyGirl said:Thanks for the mini essay. Just a few questions: why would a caveman be in a kitchen? Why would you look from a keep in a castle?
And most importantly.
Why do we have the Darwin awards if people learn from experience and have common sense?
I'm not going to continue to argue, I just love the way you 'numbered' your points A,2,C,D. I had to look up the meaning for strawman in that context, it confused me. You do still underestimate the stupidity of teens.crudus said:Well to answer your questions:SpikeyGirl said:Thanks for the mini essay. Just a few questions: why would a caveman be in a kitchen?

A. It was an assumption made for the argument to better iterate it.
2. I said it to seem slightly poetic. One of the main reasons you would do that is to guard the castle!
C. Why are you trying to strawman me?
D. Darwin awards come from people being stupid who (should) know better. They have the common knowledge to not put a gun to their head to prove it's unloaded. Hence, people need to be 18 to get a Darwin award. Children have yet to have their common sense overridden by common knowledge (most of them at least).
