At the very least the quotes could have been better and less morally ambiguous. While you think abortion is wrong, the forum does not, which means not many others are going to be able to say "Haha that's so true" kind of thing. I doubt many other people are going to look at my quote the same way they'll look at Mudfish's (which was truly hilarious).

It's actually not particularly difficult. I'd make one, but I'd probably get temped for posting it lol.

I looked at it and it looks like a way to "rate" people you like/dislike more than a chart of what is objectively good or bad.

You have no idea what the alignment chart is about then. I like both Squish and asakawa, but I like Squish quite a bit better, because I've known him for longer and consider him a friend of sorts. I still think he aligned his argument with a lawful evil, though. It's not about liking or not liking. It's just about having fun with giving your opinion about different platforms in a graphic way. I've got an idea to prove you all wrong, but first I've gotta go put the cow out in the field. Be back in a bit, and another alignment chart to follow in about an hour.

Will I be included? :D
(Chaotic lawful stupid, perhaps? :P)

Oh, I made it onto the chart?
I'm honoured. I figured I'd be somewhere along evil, but I wasn't sure where.

I find it interesting that I was Neutral Good in the first one, and the subject of Neutral Evil in the second.

You are neither Neutral, nor Good, nor Evil. You are dynamic. You can act certain ways, but at different times, you fill different parts of the chart (

). It's just fun. Don't take it so seriously.

Oh, I'm not taking it seriously. I thought it was funny.

I always considered myself somewhere between lawful neutral and true neutral. I'm only evil if you define a belief in human stupidity and capitalist market forces as being 'evil'. That being said, 95% of my arguments in Off-Topic are Devil's Advocate ones, so I suppose advocating for the Devil is, technically, evil.
Actually, it's rare that I'm ever in 'support' of anything, so I'd find it difficult to justify being 'good' or 'evil' at all, by any objective definition.

It does seem woefully ignorant to not see that if the premise of your religious belief in human stupidity holds true, it annihilates the rational actor theory, making "market forces" a horrible basis for society.

Ahh, I misspoke - I should have said 'capitalist market principles'. Basically, I think it's fair that content creators don't have their work ripped off. That's what's making me 'evil'.
That being said, I do think that the capitalist market forces still work, and that's primarily because it doesn't subscribe to 'rationality', it subscribes to 'predictability'. 'X' happens, we can try to justify why it happens, but I don't think the majority of economic principles claim that people aren't stupid. They just claim to predict what a person will do.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

LOL. Oh gamerunknown. How very shallowly deep of you to point out his error. Deep to see the contraction, but shallow to not flesh out an alternative in your own mind.
I agree with Squishy's belief in human stupidity (wouldn't call it religious), and also with his embrace of capitalistic market forces. The two coexist to form an imperfect (you called it horrible) basis for society. How can we believe that people are stupid, but expect them to make wise capitalistic choices? Bravo for seeing that problem. You shouldn't stop there with your logic, though. What are our alternatives to capitalism? The only viable options seem to be socialism, communism, and a monarchy. Well, since humans control the market in socialism, and humans control the market in communism, and humans control the market in a monarchy, then really the belief that humans act stupidly shouldn't rule out capitalism, because any other form of government utilizes humans as well. The only "better" form of government I see is one based on technology. In a couple hundred years, we'll have a supercomputer make the decisions for us, and well cut human stupidity out of the equation. Until that computer comes along, though, I think I'll opt for capitalism, as it is the "least flawed".
