Ethical Issues

LG: What is ethics?
BG: Well....

LG: You don't know do you?
BG: Yes, they are ah....well....it is branch of philosophy that deals with right and wrong and choices we make about what to do, does that make sense?

LG: Hmmm...no
BG: Ok, well it is like what is the right thing to do to your cats? Do you feed them and pet them or slam them against a tree for fun?

LG: hmm..yesterday do you know how you accidently do things. well...that happened.
BG: what happened?

LG: well, since the cats are little i was swinging my sword above them...well...hmmm....i accidently hit them.
BG: This happens a lot with you. And that isn't good is it?

LG: No.
BG: So, ethics would be you and I discussing the way in which you deal with animals. what is the right way to deal with your cats?

LG: not to swing them against a tree and bang them against a tree and not to yell in their ears and not to do anything bad to them just give them food and water and play with them and pet them.
BG: yes, you should apply an ethical system for your cats that is similar to the way you treat your friends. except for the petting part. some friends may not like that.

The Hobbit, by LG

In the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins got trapped inside a cavern, and the dwarves and Gandalf left him. They didn't even know he fell and hit his head on a rock and remembered nothing else. Then he found Gollum and he found a ring, an evil ring that was made by Saruman. Now if you watched the Lord of the Rings, you would have known this. Now I've got something else to tell you. If you wear that ring, you would become invisible. How would you like that? And Gollum and Bilbo told riddles to each other. Now this is a hard one...Alive without breath, as cold as death, never thirsty, never drinking, all in mail never clinking. Can you guess it? This is as far as we got in The Hobbit.

GnG on Legos

BG: what is your latest Bionicle that you have?
