I disagree completely.

this is not an counter-argument

are you unable to make a some sort of counter-argument

Tell me - if a lion kills a zebra, is the lion morally right? Do any species, outside of humans, have morals to even live by?

they lack the ability to reason, so obviously not

Take killings for example. We all preach that killing should be wrong - but killing in war is apparently okay to some, while to others it isn't. What about killing for self defense? Is that morally acceptable, when you are still taking another life?

the fact that we can debate moral principles does not make it subjective

we debate scientific principles ALL the fucking time
i guess science is subjective now

yeah... carry as in carrying it in a bag over your shoulders
or a small pocket device

i'll take the laptop, thanks

i can do so much more with it, and it's generally the superior device

phones are pieces of shit tbh

If you're only affecting yourself, you can't be doing anything good or bad.

i might have thought this way when i was ten

It's just your emotions that are blinding you here.

i could say the exact same thing to you

Also, the concept of "Fuck it, if you want to do it then do it!" is fucking stupid.

Um, no. It's literally the basis of morality. It's your body, and if you want to improve or destroy it in any way, that's your choice.

the basis of morality is stupid, is the point

if i had it my way, no one would ever be able to make bad choices
ever

carrying a laptop everywhere vs. carrying a small device everywhere

damn
tough choice

what is a bag

fuck questions like this tbh

Only if you have access to the internet 24/7 from anywhere and everywhere you go

which i do
it's called wi-max

Accidents and emergencies are unavoidable by definition.

then that definition sucks, because i've never been in a situation where it would've been nice to have a cellphone

in my entire life

and i likely never will

You kinda do, though.
How will your boss contact you? How will you contact work?

landline

duh

Well if something bad happens and no one is around (Ex. you get mugged out of site and out of earshot from pedestrians, or you're home alone and you accidentally cut yourself or get incredibly hurt.) Then you use your phone to call 911, or if you need to call someone about something really important (like a doctors appointment or a business call)

that's a good point, and probably the only reason i'd ever get one

uhh, phone or text people?

skype, facebook, here, etc.

emergency services? other emergencies?

fair enough, but you're talking to the most cautious person in the universe

having a job?

you generally do not need a cellphone for this

you can argue that they're a nice thing to have, but you certainly don't need one

Why wouldn't you have a phone? Even a shitty basic one?

because they're pointless--what can i do with a phone that i can't do with the internet

i'm also just making a statement against the general public's overinfatuation with their cell phones
i refuse to be a part of it

Do you go outside or have friends?

"uh hey man can i like borrow your cell phone for this frivolous little thing i'm trying to do"

bump

pretty sure only two people on this website would have a higher one than me

das and byrne

And if we're being honest metal gear acid was far more interesting than the original metal gear games.

hell yeah

i mean, i'm not technically allowed to agree with that yet, but whatever
