my first time

[Violet]

i just registered for this site,
just read my first email.
it was a message from Malte,
an introduction.

in it he said the ads on this site are a necessary evil.

is this forum good because of evil?

does goodness depend on evil?

what is evil?

[Sentinel]

Good and Evil are abstract, moral concepts communists denounce. ;)

Welcome.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

This is probably the heaviest introductory thread I've ever read!

The ads are just here to pay for the site fees. Welcome anywho :)

[RedAnarchist]

Hi, welcome:)

[comrade stalin guevara]

kia ora comrade welcome to the revolution.:hammersickle:

[KrazyRabidSheep]

The ads are undesirable; they are something that socialists would as soon do without. However, at this point, like Kevis mentioned, they are needed to pay the bills.

Welcome to the forum, and if your first post is anything to go by, I will enjoy reading your perspectives later on.

Welcome. I know since it's your first time... I'll be gentle, we can take it slow

Sexist doublespeak is a stupid way to welcome new people.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Sexist doublespeak is a stupid way to welcome new people.

Lacking sense of humor is embarrassing way to hijack the thread.

Hi!! Welcome to the Revleft!! Adds may be dispensed with, but at some point of time we need to take tactical stance for survival!! Anyway, thanks for your inquisitiveness!!:)

can good ever come from evil?

even if the evil is necessary.

can evil ever support or produce or maintain any good?

if the result is a good thing,
is not the means to the end also just as good?

is evil not justified?

what if it's necessary?

and if the means is evil, than is the end not just as evil?

[comrade stalin guevara]

good and evil do not exsist

[Violet]

good and evil exist like anything else

[Drace]

Well hello violet. My sisters name is violet...that scares me you kno. You must be very freaky o.o


in it he said the ads on this site are a necessary evil.

is this forum good because of evil?

does goodness depend on evil?

what is evil? are you bsin just to sound artistic here?

you would have to give definitions of good and evil to determine anything.
how is this forum good in the definition of that we understand it?
it certainly isnt the opposite of the
good and evil.

does goodness depend on evil?
sometimes. Heres a case...

goodness can from evil, here is a case...

but which is a greater successor of goodness? evil or goodness itself?
goodness of course miss jolly violet.

Evil is not necessary.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Did you just make that?

Also even though you probably know this it's not a good idea to post personal information online

[mykittyhasaboner]

you have got some cool art.

welcome

[comrade stalin guevara]

Good and/or evil do not exsists

[Drace]

If we are to give them a definition, then they do comrade.

I check it out and it does not show anything, but her perspective is something I am interested.

[Lector Malibu]

Fair enough. I'm just saying it's not a good idea to post personal links on the forum.

[BIG BROTHER]

welcome to the forums.

[Violet]

good an evil exist as anything else

"Did you just make that?

i've had my myspace for a few years now, actually.
but just the other day i deleted everything but the account because i felt like it.

the only reason i've got on there what i do now is to show whoever just asked to see some more of my work.

what you can see isn't everything i've got, it's just what i felt like putting out for now.

i know i shouldn't get too personal online,
and i know you're just trying to be helpful by warning me.

call me a risk-taker if that's what i am,
perhaps time and the actions of other people will justify your reservations.

-peace,
and i'm glad for those who pay attention and are interested and appreciate.

good an evil exist as anything else
"As anything else"? there's a hell of a lot that doesn't exist, does it exist in the same way they do as well?

The questions of good and evil turn up a fair bit, but they're just concepts, and ill-defined ones at that. What is good? Pleasure? Progress? whatever, it doesn't really matter. It's almost certain your definition of good overlaps quite a bit with quite a few people's definition of "evil". When a word's meaning changes individual to individual, it can never be an accurate way to convey information, can it?

If you're positing some sort of objective "goodness" and "evilness", I ask you to point them out to me. I must have missed them.

[Drace]

Anything with a definition exists.

If you can define evil and good then they do exist.

[Violet]

i mean good and evil are subjective.

my original question was "How can any good come from evil?"
because advertisements are a "necessary evil", according to some people.

this forum is a good thing,
yet it depends on advertisements for it's maintainance.

does that not mean the advertisements are also a good thing?

and if the advertisements are evil,
does that not mean this website is evil?

or can evil be a good thing?
or can a good thing depend on an evil thing?
is it still a good thing if it relies on evil for it's existence?

[Drace]

Maybe you missed what I said earlier o.O?


does goodness depend on evil?
No, but sometimes it can emerge from it.

goodness can from evil

but which is a greater successor of goodness? evil or goodness itself?
goodness of course miss jolly violet.
We have better chance of getting good from doing good then rather practicing chaos.

Evil is not necessary.

[Violet]

Drace, i don't agree.

i'd say evil is always evil and anything that depends on evil is also evil.

so this forum is evil if it partakes in evil. and if this forum is good then the ads it depends on are also good.

and i don't believe in necessity.
