You have the opportunity every day of your life.

Would you kindly explain how you deduced that selfishness is better as far as making friends is concerned?
No qualms about decieving them. I don't see any reasons why it impedes the friend-making process, so any benefit tips the scales.

You can't be damaged
Then your initial argument (that halting the thread would benefit me) was flawed.

Quote:
So, has anybody even come close to meeting your requirments?
Many have. Dante surpassed me on an intellectual level, for example.


Quote:
Certainly, that is your view. Nobody persuedes you, It is rather like talking to a brick wall.
For somebody that is speaking out against verbal attacks, you sure do make a lot of them. But no, it is like talking to a person who has a counter to every one of your points.

Quote:
So, have you ever lost a debate. Perhaps you could explain how they persueded you.
If anybody persuades me that I am wrong then I have not lost the debate - I simply agree with them and stop fighting. That is not defeat.

Quote:
If no defense took place, there would be no way of knowing whether it was inability, or unwillingness. Both could really be true.
Yes, but you assume the latter to be true. This is not logical.

Quote:
I fail to see how that statement was petulant. Being self-less would likely result from moral beliefs, since you hold none you really wouldn't understand.
Your perception of morality is strange indeed. You assume that I have never been guided by morals?

Quote:
these genaric morals are actually global.
Not global, just common - and they vary from place to place. The term 'generic' was perfectly apt.
