Does altruism exist or is it just a word?

Don't bite D.

You know he will......a BIG BITE!

So let's all look out for #1, and screw everyone else? Yep, that doesn't sound "retarded" in the least bit. That attitude is more of a cancer than any selfless act ever could be.

I guess you did everything in your life on your own, and no ******* helped you, huh?

I figured you'd be too stupid to understand. I was right.

Disappointing bite. Come back when you're sober.

 

[devilof76]

I'm sober. Just a little achy and not in the mood for giving, as it were.

I could have pretended he wasn't a retard, but that wouldn't have been very selfish of me, would it?

What? Where you gave examples of when altruism- or selflessness- is bad, but then end your post with how altruism altogether is bad and evil?

No, I perfectly understood how your post contradicted itself. Apparently you didn't comprehend it, though.

Glad to see when push comes to shove, you still respond like an undisciplined 13-year-old.

Anywho...

The Isle of Man is altruistic.

They selflessly allow lunatic motorcycle racers to annually come to their island to race and potentially die in a horrific accident.

Isle of Man > Cancer

Isle of Man wins

 

[devilof76]

That's cheating. Everything is better than cancer.

Here we go again. How long until the mods come in to "clean" your mess up again. Or wait, this isn't one of their buddy's threads, so they'll just close it.

So how do you flagrantly violate forum rules every day, and not rack up enough infractions to get banned?

There's no cheating on the Isle of Man cause there's no rules.

Isle of Man wins again

 

[devilof76]

Isle of Man is a horse.

 

[King Darkness]

No. Its an Isle. Of Man.

 

[devilof76]

How could an island win the New Zealand Derby in 1982?

 

[King Darkness]

Well that's just silly.

 

[devilof76]

That's what I'm saying. Isle of Man cannot run, yet it won a race.

Therefore, altruism is silly.

Why can't Sandbox threads be rated?

 

[King Darkness]

It can't run a race, but it sure as hell can host one!

TT Race > Horse race

 

[devilof76]

The Isle of Man TT is not silly. Very serious business.

Now, think of what would happen to that race if everyone in it made a point of letting everyone else win.

 

[King Darkness]

Then no one would die. And I would have a sad.

 

[devilof76]

See? Altruism sucks.

Would you? It'd probably lead to the world's biggest daisy chain.

 

[devilof76]

King doesn't like daisies as much as you do.

Hippy.
