And Im not sure were a 3rd world country.

Of course you are! And so is Australia, and so is England, and China, and France, and the United States. If they weren’t, they’d be on Mars (4th world country) or Venus (2nd world country) or at least the moon (3.1 world country).

Hehe!Such a small word that 'not',yet it changes everything

True,we dont have much of an average income(about 150-200$),but most of the people arent starving,and have a roof over their heads,and I think that is what separates 3rd world countries from the rest.

I was under the impresion it was more like what the roof was make of (as in dirt in 3rd world countries).

And by spending money on games instead of donating them you too are contributing to their plight. Feeling guilty yet?! Oh, right, I forgot, you give money to those poor underpayed publishers, so ur just fine. See what i did right there...

Maybe you ought to look up a term next time before putting your foot in your mouth:

Hmm... so 3rd world has nothing to do with actual poverty. They're just the ones that didn't take sides in the Cold War. That's good to know.

The term is still developing countries.

No,what?

[ThunderTitan]

No,what?

I'm still deciding...

Something about right and wrong, good and bad, feeling guilty and morality. And about capitalism and hurting people.

Something I've noticed is that poor people (located in 3rd world) are defending piracy while the people in the western world are condemning it

I want piracy to be destroyed forever, (In one of my posts on the Nforce forum I wished FBI good luck in shutting down the release groups) but as long as it exists and people get things for free then I want a piece of the action.

you supprise me;)

This debate should have been started long ago!

Not being able to afford a game, or anything else in this world, is not excuse for being a thief. Suck it up and accept that you can't have certain things you spoiled brats.

Spoiled brat?Tsk,tsk!I think you should really question yourself before you say something like that next time.

I took your advice and I did just that. Know what the answer was? I found out I'm not a immoral thief like a lot of people here are.

No, you're not a thief. You're just a goddamn hypocrite...

[DaemianLucifer]

What he said.

So,lets see...If someone doesnt steal,murder,rape,etc...And he acidentally gets aids,and doesnt say that to his partenrs,he is a moral person.He doesnt do anything illegal,right?

[Ethric]

I daresay that knowingly infecting someone with a deadly disease is illegal some places

Anywho, I want to see arguing over piracy, not all sorts of other stuff. Or are we done here? *jingles keys*

This should be a good one.

Please tell me, oh knower of nothing, how exactly am I a hypocrite?

[Ethric]

Because everyone is guilty of something. Except Possibly JC, and as far as I know he isn't here.

Sence of moral is a subjective thing.Some people dont find cheating on their wives/husbands immoral,I do.You cannot judge someone of being immoral because hes sense of moral differs from yours.You know,if youre not a vegeterian,you are considered immoral by a lot of people.

im·mor·al: Contrary to established moral principles.

I think "stealing" fulfills the above criteria. Whether you define downloading as stealing or not is obviously subject for debate.

Stealing does,but with piracy,its not that clear.

Didn't you know? Some of the people here don't consider that stealing. They consider it their right to download copyrighted material for the simple fact that they don't have the money to buy it.

[DaemianLucifer]

Seems like you didnt read a single of my posts.

No,I dont consider piracy legal.But neither can I change the fact that it is there,so I wont even try.If you cant change them,join them.

[Veldrynus]

What if I don't give damn about "established moral principles" ? Can anyone here, PROVE that these are good and usefulfor me ? I doubt it.
I am not a holy crusader of light, but I have my own "moral principles". I consider it good, to follow my own interrests, for only these can give me happyness. But, I make sure that during the process, I don't hurt other people too much.
I did illegal/"immoral" things in my life too, therefore I never accuse people of being "immoral and evil bastards", not knowing and/or ignoring their given situation. That's what being a hypocrite means.
