A Ethical Dilemma. Taking A Piss On Somebody's Car.

Postby James L Walker » Thu May 10, 2012 3:46 pm

Is it a ethical dilemma if I take a piss on somebody's ferrari in a downtown public square?



Why can't I release myself there?

What if I don't like the owner and decide to piss on their pant leg?

Well, it's just metal, and it's just urine.

But if you care about temperance, one of the seven virtues, there is a problem. Temperance is found in self control, honour, zero-sum behaviour (doing something and expecting no more or less than has been exerted, for example, no plotting of revenge, ) and justice, when it is due. I don't think pissing on someone's car is right because it's just not an honourable thing to do. That person might have gotten that car out of love and compassion for their work. You never know for sure.

Just piss in the bathroom!

You can do it... but... it won't change anything. He'll still be rich and you'll still be poor.

It's like aggravating a person in the position of power/privilege. If he/she notices, most likely what he/she's going to do it turn around and take it out on someone with less power (probably someone in the service industry, maybe even his own employee, who actually needs his job). In the end, you may end up not hurting the privileged as much as the next poor bloke.

Once, in my youth, whilst bar-hopping with buddies, we came accross a Corvette parked at an angle, taking up two parking spots. The window was open so we took the liberty of pissing in it. Short answer is that it depends on context.

Not really an ethical dilemma. Clear cut choice. But you have to weigh up the risk of being caught and possible consequences against the benefits. If the risks are low, the smug satisfaction factor of pissing on a Ferrari probably makes it worth it.

You can do it... but... it won't change anything. He'll still be rich and you'll still be poor.


True. But the upside is - he'll have piss on his car.
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.

Surely shit is better? Urine will just evaporate.

I’d pay to see that. :P

On the other hand piss and shit is quite a potent mix.

If you don't worry about the fact of doing it, then no. If you do, then probably. Worry in moral terms, not in practical ones. Or do you mean: is it immoral to piss on someone's car?

If so, I really don't think it matters much in the scheme of things either way.

Yeah, this line is gonna work wonders out in reality if one ever confronts a Walker like person doing just this act. I can see him going all frown face and with lower eyes realizing he just lost his honor in the eyes of society.

It's perfectly okay to piss on sleeping homeless Nihilist too. Don't take that personally, your not the first homeless anarchist nihilist I've told this too..... which is sadly the truth. Fucker was homeless but he could afford to own a industrial stapler and make copies everywhere on poles. Should go pee on him now, I know where his tent is in the occupy camp here.

Go ahead. Just hope you don't get caught. That Ferrari belongs to an NFL 325 pound lineman. You could end up in a hospital eating through a tube...

6 years ago, I threw several bolders into several windows of a church, and spray painted satanic symbols all over the walls and all over the grounds. I used to do shit like that all the time back then. I even made the paper. I still have the article to this day. In the article, the priest said that he'd pray for me.

My only regret is that I didn't do any mosques or synagogues, I don't want to seem discriminatory.

Nice

My answer is yes... although I'm more of Satanist than a Christian... that'd be pretty fucking funny to spray paint peace, love and angels all over a Satanic Church,

Like all religions, they take themselves way too seriously.

You know even though I despise all religion if I ever had to become religious Lucifer or Satan is the way to go.

He was the guy that said fuck "god" and ran with it.
