Catwoman:
Fry 'em. Fry them? I just cannot comprehend this brutal animality. Here is where most people make a serious error in thinking, that if adjusted could possibly cause a major paradigm shift. Only humans are this cruel, this often, and to this degree. "Inhumane" is a null-word as it is currently used. To use "animality" in the same context is equally incorrect. Catwoman: You are as guilty and sadistical as them That may be a bit much. She may be vindictive, sadistic, and unforgiving, but what woman isn't? ![]() LadySycamore If all this is based on one's morals, then it doesn't (or maybe even shouldn't) hold water in this conversation (seeing as though morality isn't a fixed concept). One man's yin is another man's yang, etc. One essential part of this discussion is to come to terms with what morality and ethics can be agreed upon. Catwoman: Of course- no doubt I would feel just as much hatred, anger and desire for revenge as the next person, but emotions should not necessarily be translated into action. They are subjective and not a reflection of fact, or reality, and thus can only perpetuate the cycle of crime. Emotion is a very real response to a stimulus. Regardless of of the subjectivity of that emotion, it is real. Fear, for instance is a salient responce to danger. Anger is a response to fear or danger. Edit: fixed a coding error
