You're saying because I don't suffer the negative side effects my choice is still a poor one? I fail to see how the logic in that.

Or maybe you mean to point out that my point is moot by offering an equally useless statement? Again, lost on me.

Perhaps you just felt like offering another situation in which there is a subset of the population which does not represent the general whole?

Break it down for me, this shit must be written in code.

uh, of course your choice is still a poor one.

if i wanted to impress a girl by soaking myself in gasoline and jumping over a fire, it's still a retarded thing to do even if i'm perfectly fine and get laid afterwards

your logic is flawed

I fundamentally disagree with you, and side with Machiavelli. If you get away with it, it is always the right thing to do.

Um Machiavelli didn't defend all in the name of keeping power. The Prince isn't a ringing endorsement for cruelty and malevolence. It's a pointing out of the political reality of the time as well as a sort of guide of actions for Lorenzo (as well as a resume). Machiavelli goes out of his way to point out that not everything done should be done for it's sake but instead for keeping and maintaining power and that some things should be avoided and that there are some limits. It's not a endorsement of "if you can get away with it, do it". There is a difference between arbitrary power and legitimate power. He goes into this in the book.

Finally I think you have a misunderstanding of the meaning of "virtuous" as according to Machiavelli. Mach is thought of as the bridge between old Greek Philosophy and modern because of his decoupling of morality and politics.

If you want to throw around academic qualifications- my school is ranked #2 in the world for philosophy and we went over this just a few days ago in one of political philosophy classes so the fact you can regurgitate from a Professor that went to Harvard is worth poop.

I could waste my time writing you an essay as to why A.) the power you maintain is your own B.) the limits are anything that limits your own power C.) that arbitrary power and legitimate power are the same thing D.) that Machiavelli was the first step away from classic philosophy, not a bridge to it.

And the Kennedy School of Government is the best for political philosophy, but I'm sure your school is great too, Mac.

Going to a computer game forum and asking dating advice...

Do you not see this as being retarded? There's a whole Internet out there with dedicated sites for this.

I don't ask BF2s advice on how to change my engine oil or fill out my tax return.

Just think about it.
