      if you could get away with anything

      this is a little question that came up in my religious/moral/philisophical studies class.
      "if you had a ring you could wear that would make you invisible, what would you do, and what would you not do? in other words, would you still have morals if you could get away with anything?"

      think about that and post answers.

      .
      No i wouldn't. This is like the "What would you do if the world was ending tommorow" thread

      I would do whatever i had the impulse to do but dont do now because of consequences.

      No Consequences to my actions=Chaos

      One of the top ten things i would do is rob a bank.

      I would put Thief in a headlock, and he would have no idea what the Hell is happening to him.
      How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

      being invisible is different than being able to get away with anything. being invisible would only eliminate witnesses.

      I would do all sorts of illegal stuff though... drugs/sex/violence runs through my veins.

      I would also still HAVE morals. I just wouldn't follow them. Just like now.

      I would whisper into peoples' ears, and command that they be kind, else I burn them eternally in a pit of black fire.

      fuck that stupid ring, your title is misleading. if I could do fucking anything, if I was king of the world and no one could stop me, I would:

      1. outlaw heterosexual intercourse of any kind (for an unspecified amout of time) and issue the death penalty to anyone caught doing it, burned at the stake. so you can all see what it fucking feels like. :D

      2. shut down all fast food and chain restraunts and take all the money from the CEOs/anyone at the head of them and use the billions of dollars to feed the hungry.

      3. shut down hollywood and take all the money from all major celebrities and use it to feed the hungry/clothe the poor etc.

      4. same w everyone at the head of Big Pharma.

      5. make Thief my loveslave and never use any lube. :)


      Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.

      Why would you go out of your way to punish straight people? I can understand that being gay and being discriminated against isn't good, but there's no need to try and make everyone who's not being gay a criminal. If you do that, you're not any better than them.

      And shutting down all restaraunts and fast food chains? Yeah, that wouldn't severly hurt the economy or anything. Same with shutting down Hollywood.

      Clearly there's still a great deal of hate in the world.
      People love their hate.

      Why do want me to "see what it fucking feels like" when I have never had a problem with homosexuality and certainly have never been against it and in fact always actually wondered what the big deal is?

      Having a ring of invisibility,
      I would be become a stage illusionist, and makes lots of money by disappearing right before their very eyes.

      If I could make another nearby person turn invisible too, maybe by touching them, I would rent myself out to celebrities, with the service of being able to help them escape from papparizzi situations.

      I would use my money to escape from this no longer free country, and become an invisible wildlife photographer. I bet you can get great shots when the animals don't know you are there.

      And when I am old and grey, I'd find someone named "Frodo" to give it to Sorry I couldn't resist.

      some good answers there.

      the reason i ask this is because when i thought about it, i immediately thought that i would still have my morals and stick to them. but when i thought about it for a bit longer i thought, wait a minute, maybe i would end up stealing stuff.

      so i guess i just wanted to see if everyone's morals are only based on the fact that they'll get caught if they go against their morals.

      I think a life of crime would be too hard to maintain, even with invisibility there would be too much chance of eventually being caught. So much easier to use the invisibility for legal purposes. All those super-villains in comic books, they usually have powers and inventions which could quite legally make them filthy rich and a lot better off than by committing super-crimes. So why in heck are they doing the super-villainy?

      But maybe I only think that because of my morals? Even if I knew for certain I'd never be caught, I still wouldn't victimize others just because I could, not as long as there were other alternatives. I'd know, and in the last analysis we have to face ourselves.

      to be honest i was only saying that to carry a point across, although i did have to think about it for a while. but i realised that i could have some fun legally. for example i could even stop people being mugged etc.

      you said it would be possible to legally make money, how exectly?

      As I mentioned in one of the posts above-
      Stage magician (behold, the lady really does vanish ...) most magicians have to try pretty hard to make things disappear. With the power of invisibility, you could have the best act ever, that no one could figure out, and it would be a lot easier.

      Celebrity invisibility service. For those days when you *really* want to lose the press photographers.

      World's best nature photographer

      There are probably a lot more possibilities.

      oh yea, very good point.

      or you could go the other way on it and go for the best ever celebrity paparazi. although i think my morals would tell me not to do that one

      If you asked me that some time ago, I'd have used it to kill GW Bush. Now... I can't see that many uses to it.

      Once I asked my friend if she'd steal if she could become invisible, she said yes immediately. I think I'd do the same. But I'd steal from rich people whou wouldn't miss a little money stolen or from shops directly (business owners are supposed to be well off).
