I like turtles and boobs. I don't like boobs on a turtle.

What about a turtle on boobs?

Maybe if it was a ninja.

It is true that Deus Ex is the best game ever.

It is possible that Thief The Dark Project is close second.

The whole of PC gaming is greater than console gaming.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

You're welcome.

Not sure I fully understand what you're talking about. The liberty one sounds alright though, although I would instead say an action is moral only if it doesn't (directly) harm another person (physically or financially but NOT emotionally). Not a huge change, but one I deem necessary considering the vagueness of "respecting one's liberty".

So bullying and emotional abuse is moral? Death threats?

Well, no. My reasoning for excluding emotional harm is because harming somebody emotionally isn't automatically an immoral act. Physical and financial harm are both observable and quantifiable whereas emotional harm is much more subjective. Thus whether emotional harm should be considered a moral/immoral (or most likely neutral) act is also subjective and varies depending on the situation and people involed.

Then that isn't your axiom. You agree that emotional harm exists, even if it is difficult to quantify precisely. And you clearly think that is wrong on some level.

But by that logic physical and financial harm can be moral as well. Physical harm by law enforcement. Financial harm by credit companies.

Those actions can even be moral if done with intent.

All of the above.

I hover between liberty and utility.
