just ignore and let this one die

How did I miss this cake this morning? Thanks, DaQbet!

Not to mention, just plain rude!

Favourite everyday pen - Uniball Deluxe fine (black ink)

That piece of cake looks delicious, DaQbet. I am having such strong chocolate cravings at the moment...

So what do you feel determines Right and Wrong? Would not that also be a reflection of one's society and cultural bias?

(Welcome to the Undead Thread, love ).

Mmmm... drooool...

/me pulls self together slightly.

I'd say morals and ethics are values that each individual must decide for themself. To most of us some of these are self evident and inviolable. e.g. murder is wrong. Mores are morals and ethics that members of a community agree to be the their standard rules of behavior.

mo·res Pronunciation[mawr-eyz, -eez, mohr-]
–plural noun Sociology.
folkways of central importance accepted without question and embodying the fundamental moral views of a group.
[Origin: 1905–10; < L mōres, pl. of mōs usage, custom]

—Synonyms customs, conventions, practices.

I'm a vegetarian and I try to let anyone who's going to feed me know in advance what I will and won't eat. I don't expect anyone to cater to me (unless I'm paying for it) and I am willing to go hungry or provide my own food fairly gracefully if eating meat is the only alternative.
I certainly don't expect anyone's feelings to be hurt. But recently at a party someone put ice in my glass using the tongs that she didn't realize, but I did, had been used to turn meat on a grill. Normally I'm squeamish about stuff like that but in the interest of being less neurotic I managed to get over it and drink my water anyway. It didn't kill me but I still feel a bit squeamish.

I have to go you one better: Uniball VISION Elite (black ink) My only drawback is the barrel breaks, it doesn't leak but causes inconvience when the pen doesn't open as expected.

I love Sharpies in all colors, especially the ones with a sharpie on one end and fine point on the other.

Of course I like my #2 Pencil and a Big Chief Tablet.

My home connection was down this morning. Therfore today's XPOD falls under the heading of "better late than never". I'm also violating one of my own self-imposed rules and bringing you a cartoon for today's XPOD.










Who sees two potential interpretations? I wish we could see the men more clearly

Spy VS Spy

Whoever stays alive, she will try to please by wearing his colour.
Or, she will don the colour of whoever wins to infiltrate his ranks (or spy agency)...

Right on the button Isabeau.
Smart lady I always loved Spy Vs. Spy.

I took it as one dress is for a funeral and one is for a wedding.

One is the husband and one is the boyfriend. If the husband is killed she has to wear black. If the boyfriend is killed she has to wear white since she can't mourn the boyfriend. Plus she can always get more boyfriends, husbands are one at a time.

"CX"

These are all good interpretations, and possible.
Whatever happens, the cat doesn't seem to care either way.

As it should be.

If man could be crossed
with the cat, it would improve
man, but deteriorate the cat.

I'm just stopping by to ignore and let this one die.

This thread will never die...

Hi there Joseph last night at the hang out after you left I noticed a little new born kitty in a box left behind. You didn't have any babies did you?

It's probably Jezabell's. She's been looking all over the place for her baby and its daddy.

Win or lose the important thing is to have the right clothes ready.

is this the daddy?

spoken like a fellow shopping goddess.

/curls himself into a ball...checking the "plumbing"...

Nope!! Ain't mine!! I'm still a male cat...

Now...did I have anything to do with it??
Uhm...cat's have short attention spans...I can't recall...

...that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

too funny!

*wakes up finally to respond to the derail topic*

I am a firm believer that most of the ethics and morals are environmentally instilled or society based.

Many cultures have taboos on clothing that would never work in other areas, and there clothing is minimal. (Restrictive clothing vs the usual deep jungle/island native wear.... or the average Florida teenager )

Some have taboos that make it wrong to eat certain types of foods, and in other areas said foods are commonly eaten. (Hindu comes to mind with cows for instance... a social/moral rule based on the reliance early on with the cows for farming/survival )

There are the various relationship rights and wrongs that differ between cultures as well. (predetermined weddings, best bride cost, multiple spouses, etc)

I have no idea what is happening here today, been too busy at work for a change but just wanted to say hi to everyone!

Tomorrow I intend to spend nearly the whole day in The Garden of Earthly Delights, with a new friend, who is both earthy and delightful. That is if the laptop doesn't keep crashing on me like it was last night.

Has anyone been there yet? I popped in last night for a bit and was amazed already at what I saw. Rode a fire breathing swan for a while, had puti flying around my head as the devil looked on, was roasted like a pig on a spit, took a ride in a space ship, got lost in a field of grass, and other wonderous things.

4 sims worth of Hieronymus Bosch inspired madness. It's going to take weeks to plow through this one!
