Third Step Towards Eternity... - So NSG, What's Going On?

[Nationstatelandsville]

Oftentimes, we draw our amusement from others' discomfort and pain.

Ex. Republican debates.

Those can indeed be amusing.

Because of their discomfort and pain.

Humor knows no empathy.

[Yuktova]

Yuktova: "Noooo! Don't die on me, iPad! You'll be fine! You'll be fine! Somebody! Call a doctor! Call 911!"

iPad: ".........."

Yuktova: "It's all going to okay! Everything's going to be okay! You'll live!"

iPad: "............"

Yuktova: "Please stay with me! Please! I love you, iPad!"

iPad: *turns off*

Yuktova: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I should seriously write movie scripts.

(open on an empty hospital lobby; YUKTOVA, played by DAVID TENNANT because FUCK THE POLICE, reclines in a couch, silent tears streaming down his cheeks)

(WAZKARYQUE, played by MEL GIBSON, sits next to him)

(in THE WORST IOWAN ACCENT ACCENT EVER) WAZK: Look, Yuk, I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do.

YUK: I... I just miss him so much.

WAZK: Wait, we are still talking about your iPad, right?

YUK: Yeah.

WAZK: Oh, good. I thought it was something important.

YUK: Hey!

WAZK: You can just charge that, you know.

YUK: Do I look like Victor Frankenstein to you, Mel Gibson?!

WAZK: Zach.

YUK: Same thing! It would be unnatural! It would be exactly like a zombie movie!

WAZK: It really wouldn't.

YUK: It really would. What do you know? You don't understand my pain!

WAZK: Exactly why I'm trying to figure it out!

YUK: This relationship is over, Mel Gibson! I'm going home!

WAZK: But, Yuk... you are home!

("BONG-BONG" effect from LAW AND ORDER plays because I GODDAMN SAY SO)

YUK: WHAT?!

WAZK: I'm just kidding ya', pal. Say, you wouldn't know where I could find a good synagogue, would you? Nice and flammable.

(YUKTOVA is extremely confused; MEGAN FOX walks and in and DOES NOTHING BUT ATTRACT THE TEENAGE MALE DEMOGRAPHIC)

(fade to black)

At least it didn't fade to black in mid sentence like the Sopranos did! God tha- *fades to black*

[Liriena]

I don't think so. No. Sure, it helps, but it's not so necessary. I think people will have morality anyway.

Exactly. So why ask who's more moral? I don't get it.

My dad would say: "To see who has the biggest dick."

[Wazkyraque]

Part of me wants to rest, and part of me doesnt.
Well, I did have a long day... Hmm....

Sleep well you guys, after today, I'm feeling a bit mentally drained

Love you Zach :3 Sleep well!

Bonne nuit, mon cher.
I love you too, Have a nice rest :3

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Indeed.

Exactly. So why ask who's more moral? I don't get it.

My dad would say: "To see who has the biggest dick."

But wouldn't you consider such beings to be outside of a moral compass? After all, morality and immorality are, IMO, human constructs.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Or less entertaining. I guess that would depend on how you look at it.

Yes, you needn't worry 'bout the potential presence of a cosmic overlord,
For if this blue mudball keeps spinning, you shan't be bored.
'Cause as long as there are people, and those people are alive,
Those people are going to ponder what it all means, even as they strive.

[Nationstatelandsville]

My dad would say: "To see who has the biggest dick."

Gandhi had a massive inferiority complex, then.

[Condunum]

Still doesn't beat God's.

So did Buddha and Mohammed.

But wouldn't you consider such beings to be outside of a moral compass? After all, morality and immorality are, IMO, human constructs.

Constructs built on the foundation of empathy.

Thus, if we're discussing a being who crafted humans in his image, then we can reasonably assume He possesses empathy, and, most likely, a moral code. Or at least the capability to go '"Hey, maybe putting my children through the worst time-out in history isn't such a nice thing".

[Liriena]

Nah...Gandhi was HUUUUUUUUUUGE. He didn't need an inferiority complex

[Nationstatelandsville]

Well, we already know that God has a tiny member. Night proved that in 2010.

I saw that. I loved it.

Well, I tend to view God as a very personal, almost humane entity...but God as an impersonal amoral entity would maybe make a lot more sense, I guess.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Indeed.

But that would presuppose that such a being ever had any 'purpose' for his creation. What if he never did?

Alright, no more. Don't mind me. I have too much antihistamine flowing through my veins.

[Indeos]

Gandhi had a massive inferiority complex, then.

Eh, he was forcibly abstinent and slept with a ton of naked women to condition himself against temptation. Dunno how that's relevant to the joke; I'm in a factsy mood tonight.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore; I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

[Condunum]

Alright. I have 24 hours of music to comb through to find this damn symphony piece in this song, and dammit, I will find it.

I'll drink to that song.

Well...I have always wondered WHY God would have created humans in the first place. What motivation could he have? What benefit would it bring Him?

Well, purpose or not, a good parent would take care of his children.

Unless He can't, at which point he's not really God.

Gandhi was weird, but I agree with his philosophy. Up to a point, of course; letting Nazis go unmurdered is too far, even for me.

If God created us in His image, we can only assume He, too, can get stoned.

That's all the explanation you need.

Fuuuccckkkk I don't have glue or a knife

I think we should start keeping a count on how many times you drink to something.

The capacity to create.

If we were to give a deity anthropomorphic features, I guess we could deduce that he had a purpose. But we're referring to a deity. He may not have had any purpose other than to create. After the creation, it was up to humans to find meaning. He perhaps never intended to give any meaning to anything.

Makes Him sound like a machine, which is a viable theory, I suppose.
