Who does the bad thing...the inspirer or the inspired?

Adolf Hitler was inspirational to the German people, but in the end who pulled the trigger and who opened the gas valves in the camps.

This is the defination of evil^

You are wording it precisely so that, in essense, when you say "the inspirer" you actually, ARE

ARE

Inspiring.

In other words you are NOT inspiring.
 
The story demonstrated in the move "Sophies Choice" is a great indicator of the difference between inspiration and self determination. [ I should pull the link to the thread...if any ones interested]
 
Seriously guys, keep it on topic.

This isn't a chat.

Don't force me to shut this down.
 
on topic...
Imagine that one is on a bridge and before oneself is a person who holds in his hand the button to trap doors on two seperate cages which are suspended upon either side of the bridge. In one cage, is ten people who one does not know, but in the other, there is one person who you know intimately and love. Upon punching the button, the trapdoors shall open and send both cages' inhabitants hurtling to their death far below. One has the capacity to save either the ten people or the loved one. One cannot stop the button from being pushed, nor can one in anyway save both. One can, of course, choose to save neither as a third option. Death is absolutely certain for anyone who falls from this distance and under no circumstance can one survive. One can also do no other thing to mess with this situation in any other way.

Which course of action do you choose and why?

Show me one "best senario" that you've seen.

Don't go on about your past. Also, what do you mean it can be the opposite?

By my will, and also the Mother of my Daughter, we did not persue the option of abortion, which was almost carried out. Now, I am expecting my first grandchild by that same daughter. That is a good scenario. As for what I mean by the opposite, lets take the same situation I just mentioned, and apply the termination of life to it. Much of the outcome concerning free will unfortunately contains the here and now results of decisions made in the past. But the outlook can be optimistic if the individual isn't a complete loser. And I am not.

Dear QQ,


What you are clearly promoting on this site and everywhere else is the destruction of all of what they care for, all of what they fight for, their dreams, hopes, imaginations, loves, cares, everything. It is clear if someone cared to pay attention.

Unfortunately, since you do not show any care, I will be taking a leave of you, and hopefully since you're so profound at destroying such cares you can allow me, to become, unware of what is occuring. Allow me, to become seperated from you.

Make it so that I don't realize that you're reading mounts and mounts of pages upon pages of words and letters, in an attempt to destoy all that is holy.

The destruction of such is what you are promoting. I will cease talking to you, probably and hopefully if you allow it that is!-- forever. I would like to become unware.

No one hopes for the best if they're a loser.

Goodnight QQ.

Oh tnerb, you are so troubled. I'm sorry I upset you. I did not percieve that you consider yourself a loser.
