Death Note

The series was written by teenagers for teenagers
They didn't plan anything out, they were just making it up week by week
Shit mango

because tehy didnt know how the killing system worked. Kira might as well been some pharmaceutical company that tested drugs on inmates. Only those autists knew about it and they wanted to catch him for their epenis

Criminals are not animals meant to be slaughtered.

>>135681537
>Says someone who's never been rapes, beat, or family torn apart because of criminals.

Until you've had experience, just keep your vanilla mouth shut. Jail isn't some place people are treated like humans you know. Death is much better suited for trash that breaks societies laws.

>>135681157
>Anyone he killed was either a criminal, someone trying to capture him, or aiding in his capture.
So he killed criminals, innocent people, and people he didn't like. What a nice guy.

Killing people is wrong. That's why he had to be stopped.

>>135681655
>What is war?
If governments authorized people to kill one another via war. I guess that's wrong and we should kill the people leading our country.

But in Light's case, him literally bringing more good from his actions that any government on earth could even hope for is a problem?


You see the contradiction here?

>Killing people is wrong.

>>135681157
There were like 20 people at most in the world hunting him in the second half, and then a good part of them was killed by Mello, the police was hardly giving two shits about him by then.

Yeah, one bullet through Bush sr. and jr. wouldn't be bad at all.

>Your hate gives no excuse to treat another human like filth. I don't care what you've been through.

Like I said, go through some shit before you open your mouth.

Hate is more than enough reason to treat other human's like filth, if they deserve it, and society agrees they deserve it. Then it will be done. Good and Evil are decided by the majority. And more agrees with me than you.

Think about that next time you say what you said. By your standards, its ok to treat a child molester like a human being.

>>135681157
In first place, you can't kill other human being just because he committed a crime. That's not just morally wrong, but is also a contradiction because you are committing a crime too.

>>135681157

>>135682121
Unless you live in a third world shithole, society considers all human beings as equal and worthy of the same rights. If the worst scum of the earth commits some terrible crime, it's normal for the victims (and third parties) to want some payback, and society's role is that of taking the victim's side...and also the perpetrator's, in order to come up with a fair judgment. I don't think society, which should be as netrual as possible, should have the right to kill one of its members. This doesn't mean I wouldn't be driven into doing it myself, if someone makes me go through some serious shit, call me a hypocrite but that's what I think.

>>135681862
Near and Mello were fucking retarded. Death Note's second half was fucking retarded.

>>135682330
This is what idealist think, yes society views people as equal and worthy of the same rights. But when a crime of extremely unmoral activity happens.

Society changes, people call for that person's fucking head, they turn into animals. I can bring up too many examples in America ALONE where this has happened. People only save face till a crime people just can't forgive happens. There's a reason majority of the world holds the death penalty, there's a reason why people go for revenge on their own if they can before even getting the law enforcement.

You're trying to say all human's are just, well most are, but we're just by our own standards. Society changes from nice to pure evil in the blink of an eye.

>>135682215
>>135682309
It's just as silly the second time you post it. If the majority decides what's good and bad then good and bad become descriptions of what's popular to consider good and what's popular to consider evil and the terms lose all other meaning. When you say an act is evil you're not describing the act you're describing society's view on the act. An evil thing is evil because the majority thinks it's evil and a good thing is good because the majority thinks it's good, however when you ask someone why something is good or evil you will invariably get different explanations. Murder is evil because it causes suffering to innocents, charity is good because it's jesuslike etc, everyone has their own reasons that they derive through process of reasoning which they can more or less explain in a logical manner when prompted, only the moral relativist makes no attempt at this process of reason and cares what the majority thinks despite the fact that society as a whole disagrees with their view. The very same normalfags that you derive your morality from think you're retarded because they themselves derive their morality from themselves.

>>135682652
Society gathers what's good and bad by what majority thinks and it is taught to the next generation. I don't think you realize this, but there were civilizations who were ok with cannabilism. It was considered just in their society by majority, so it was good. People decide what is accepted and it is taught until something physical or mental changes it for majority.

Majority is what decides almost all acts we take in governing ourselves, that's what our government rely on. And we're not the same person dumbass, two people just happened to fucking disagree with you.

>>135682652
Wow, I don't even know what you're saying dawg. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with him?

>>135682215
>>135682309
I will give you an example: John and Peter are two blue kids, and Edward is a red kid. There are two political parties, the red and the blue one. Edward convinces John and Peter to vote for the red party. The red party wins and decides to kill all blue kids. Is that good just because the majority choose it?

>>135682882
What the fuck kind of argument is that? The majority may have agreed to "vote for the red party", but they did not agree to "kill all blue kids". That's not a decision that was made by the majority, that was made by "the red party".

>>135682882
Yes, because majority wins. Good and Evil is decided by majority because majority has the POWER.

That's the problem you're having, good and evil aren't things that have a meaning until people with majority forces and power gives definitions people are forced to follow.

Good is something that helps another person. If someone is hungry and you give them food it is good, if someone wants to die and you kill them it is good.

Evil is something that harms another person. If someone is hungry and you take their food it is evil, if someone wants to die and you save them it is evil.

>>135681157

It's been a long time since I read Death Note, but didn't he explicitly say that once all of the "criminals" were gone, he was going to start in on people who weren't living their life "correctly"?

He was a complete loon.

I kinda regret that we didn't get to see that. Him failing as a God would have been a much more satisfying downfall than getting tripped up as a mere human.

>>135683132
That's not how it works.

Why do I always see so many people shit on this series? The anime kind of ruined the second half but other than that I really don't see what's so bad about it

plus the soundtrack is 10/10

>>135682799
The fact that popular "memetic" ideas about what is good or evil tend to spread around and survive to future generations is a testament to the fact that people are persuaded to believe in those ideas. The reason those ideas survive and get taught in schools is because people agree with the content of those ideas. This doesn't mean that society decides what's good based on what's popular.

Do you realize that people frown upon cannibalism because they dislike the nature of cannibalism and not because of the opinion of their peers? If you ask an individual why they don't eat people won't be because they think society considers cannibalism to be bad, but because they themselves consider it to be bad.

I know full well you're two different retards.

>>135683182
That's how it should work. Trying to force all of the different people in the world, or I guess country, to conform to one set of what's good and evil is wrong.

>>135683233
>The reason those ideas survive and get taught in schools is because people agree with the content of those ideas. This doesn't mean that society decides what's good based on what's popular.

This entire sentence means you agree with me. Society takes the ideas previous people from that society thinks are just and reteaches them. What is your side? You're saying ideas survive because they just do? People who believe those ideas become part of a larger bubble of people who think that's best. That's when good and evil are decided.

A prime example of this is the foundation of fucking america.

>>135683174
This. You can'tem just let a total random person control the world.

Hell said that he would kill useless Lady people, só he was probably gringos tô kill most of his neet fans of /a/ for being fat fucks that live in a basement.

The thing is, he doesn't have the right to ordem the world, nobody choose him. If he thinks that he can have it by force or fear, he should prepare to get his ass kicked.

>>135683486
>nobody choose him
Fuck off, democracy doesn't exist.

>>135682556
>You're trying to say all human's are just
I'm not. I think the opposite indeed.

>Society changes, people call for that person's fucking head, they turn into animals
That's why there are branches of government that should prevent "the arm of justice" from going too far, because even the worst criminal, in front of the law, has his rights. I know it's asking too much, but neither a judge, nor a jury should be driven by emotions, and if they do, they shouldn't hold that position. In that sense, something like the Sybill System from Psycho Pass is probably more suitable than human (save for the whole imprisoning or killing innocents part)

The only thing for which death penalty could be justified is the deterrence factor, and it's been proven not to work as such either.

>>135683420
This entire sentence serves to explain to you that I fully understand why ideas survive. Ideas survive because they're popular so when people die there are still enough people that are alive who still believe in them, even if it's a shitty idea. If I came up with a new idea and I never told it to anyone and I die tomorrow then this idea also dies with me.

What I'm trying to explain to you is that society doesn't decide what's good and evil, they only decide what is CONSIDERED good and evil by that society. When you say that cannibalism was ok in past civilization you mean to say that cannibalism was considered to be ok at those times. When we say that cannibalism was considered to be ok, we mean to say that, it was believed at those times "the nature of cannibalism is such that it's ok". In present time cannibalism is considered evil, and when we say that cannibalism is considered evil we mean to say that it is commonly believed today "the nature of cannibalism is such that it's evil".

Clearly cannibalism in the past and cannibalism today is the same thing, it's just eating people. Cannibalism didn't change, it has the same nature. I seriously ask you, what is the nature of cannibalism, in your opinion?

>government's job is to keep order in society
>someone else is doing this for them
Obviously the government would want to hunt him down. He was messing with their gig.

>>135683132
But the people that are 'good" by your definition take money from me by threat of force, money I wanted to use to care for my family, and they give that money to lazy welfare queens who refuse to work. How is that really good?

>>135683951
Moral relativism is not the position that states that different people have different ideas about morality, that much is obvious. Moral relativism is the position that states that things are good or evil based on the cultural standards at that moment.

God damn when did this become /pol/

not even educated /pol/tards

>>135684050
But what does that mean?

>>135684019
Killing is in human nature, when we form a society we are supposed to give up some of our instincts to function in an environment that tries to favor everyone. In other words, I won't kill if I am reassured no one would kill me, this kind of thing. Far from perfect if you ask me, but still better than nothing.

>>135684118
It means that you have no opinion of your own about what is good or evil and you leave it up to society to decide what's good and evil. Such a person might say that when people engaged in human sacrifice in ancient civilizations it was not evil to do so, because it was culturally acceptable at that time.

>>135684022
They are evil to you and good for them. Good and evil are entirely subjective.

>>135684050
The basis for moral relativism is that there is no absolute moral values, it does not mean passive acceptance of the current views on good and evil. If anything, it acknowledges that the moral values held by the majority of people, in a certain time and place, is a product of society, and not a set of rules carved into stone forever, but if you are a moral relativist you can very well have your own set of morals, which can be derived from logic, emotions, both and whatnot

>>135684245
They are considered evil by that anon and they are considered good by those on welfare. When you say something IS good or IS evil you are describing that thing's nature, and because things can only have one nature they can't be simultaneously good and evil.

>>135684317
>inherent morality
You walk into a country, and you see a man being executed
Is this a good or evil act?

>>135684437
Evil to me personally.

>>135684559
See, that's subjective, not inherent. That's not the nature of the act, that's your interpretation of it.

>>135684284
You can't simultaneously have a set of moral standards that are derived from logic, emotions, or both, while also believing that there are no absolute moral values. That's because people have the tendency to rationalize their feelings and actions in a way that creates an explanation for why they felt and did what they did at the time they did it. When you ask someone why did something they explain the principals that governed their actions. He killed that man because that man was evil, and evil men must be killed, therefore he had to be killed. Such statements as "evil men must be killed" are universal principles, they apply universally to all "evil men" with no exception. This necessarily leads to belief in absolute values (moral or otherwise). "Evil men must be killed regardless of opinion" is the thinking.

>>135684437
That would be evil, regardless of the country.

>>135684559
He didn't ask what your personal opinion is as if taking a poll, he asked you to solve the moral problem.

>>135684690
I'm not that same anon.

The guy who responded to your post first isn't the one you quoted.

>>135684701
That person was Johnny Rapemurder, who somehow managed to rape and murder 1/4 of the population of that country. He is completely unrepentant. His existence has been a net drain on the entire world.

>>135684815
That won't change my opinion because my reasons for thinking murder is evil doesn't have anything to do with who gets murdered.

>>135684910
Killing isn't murder though.

>>135683829
I don't believe a fucking word you've spouted, you seem like a 5 year old who doesn't have a clue how important things really are.

>>135685012
Killing is also evil though.

>>135684910

See, that just got subjective, you aren't judging the nature you are just giving your interpretation. Without a moral objectifier, morality doesn't actually exist.

If I kill someone for the greater good of humanity. Then I should not be punished. I did a murder that will benefit people in a long run.

When will people realize THE ENDS, JUSTIFIES THE MEANS

Light wasn't wrong, he just went about it too fast and got too cocky. Other than that I never had much of a problem with his methods because like even NEAR said. What Light did ultimately helped more than he killed.

>>135685049
I'm giving about my interpretation about what I consider to be the actual nature, so I am making a value judgment but I'm assuming we share similar values (which we do). We all subjectively perceive the moon to exist, therefore we say that "the moon" exists, the implication being that the moon exists objectively. This is the basis of empiricism.

>>135685104
Self defense that involves killing is evil because killing is evil.

>>135685105
They have no mind that I'm aware of though so I'm not intentionally causing suffering. I neglected to point out those additional qualifiers before because I didn't think someone would bring up this example.

>>135685201
So preventing an evil is evil.

Literally got most of his leads out of pure luck.

>>135685256
If you do something with no malice and knowledge or intent to cause suffering then that's not evil. Of course if you engage in negligence then it is evil, but if the situation is such where you couldn't have possibly known that your actions might cause suffering then it's not evil.

>>135685293
Not sure what you mean by preventing evil. If you have to kill one person to prevent a hundred from being killed that's evil.

I'll leave you along and let you stew your own philosophy for a few years. This is some rudimentary worldview you got going on.

>>135685362
So how do you stop unrepentant evil? You can't imprison them, that's basically robbing them of life. But simultaneously, inaction just allows them to commit more evil, making you evil by your inaction. You can't kill them apparently. So how?

>>135685503
That's a great answer. I'll be here waiting in case you decide you're not lazy enough to explain yourself. Perhaps one day your worldview would change when you hurt someone while thinking the means justify the ends and see how badly it fucks you up with guilt, by then it'll be too late though.

>>135685553
You don't. That's why evil is stronger than good because good is dumb

>>135685578
>guilt
So if I don't feel any guilt, I will have not done anything wrong? Alright then.

>>135685578
>"Perhaps one day your worldview would change when you hurt someone while thinking the means justify the ends and see how badly it fucks you up with guilt" He says as he unapologetically shitposts to rile anonymous individuals for his fleeting amusement.

>>135685578
Guilt doesn't imply wrongdoing anymore than a lack of guilt implies a lack of wrongdoing.

>>135685553
You as a person would benefit most from not doing anything about unrepentant evil, don't involve yourself with it and distance yourself from it whenever possible. It's none of your responsibility to fix the world nor would it be your fault for not doing anything. If someone's going to go around hurting people that's going to have more to do with his state of mind and his circumstances that you stopping or failing to stop him.

When he was out of prison last time, he had members of the Aryan brotherhood partying in his lawn right next door to our house.

He is a scumbag.

I'd still be fucking pissed off if someone murdered him though, you little prick.

>Until you've had experience, just keep your vanilla mouth shut.
As if you're some kind of edgelord that has had experience with violence. If you had actually ever experienced real hardship, you wouldn't think being a vile little savage makes you cool. You'd realize you're being a fearful little pussy, and that thinking murder makes you mature is pathetic.

What I mean by this is that if someone's a psychopath then I can't have any hope of persuading them that they should be good and not do evil, because feeling guilt plays a key role in my own morality.

I never denied the fact that I formed my opinion from my subjective experience, but as long as you share similar experience and values, it can be said to be objectively true. Don't pretend like we are each living in our own special snowflake of a reality, reality is shared.

>but if you have to kill a would be murderer in order to save the victim you're better off walking away from the situation.
So you're putting satisfying your ego above saving a victim. If you only frivolously care about people to that extent, then why do you care about being moral at all?

>>135686101
>as long as you agree with me, it's objectively true
You what. I obviously don't share similar values, I don't believe in objective morality, the only way to establish objective morality is through an objectifier like a God. Obviously, since I don't believe in your screed, your screed is subjective. Reality may be shared but that doesn't make the opinions of a group of people valid.

Nice arguments you have there son. Come back when you have hairs on your face.
>>135684701
>You can't simultaneously have a set of moral standards that are derived from logic, emotions, or both, while also believing that there are no absolute moral values.

Yes, yes you can. You just have to give up concepts like good or evil. If you believe things are inherently good or evil, and use the standards you have (emotions, logic etc) then the values you are are seem absolute to you.
Truth is, good and evil are manmade concept, they have no real meaning. Somehow rules protect us, following them may make us feel good, breaking them may make us feel bad, because they were ingrained in us as we grew up. Some of them may come from pure instincts, but the truth is, none of it matters from an objective point of view. So you can follow a set of rules, thinking it's the best for you and the others, without claiming they are the only possible rules.

Acknowledging this doesn't even mean living a life devoid of "morals", because needing, and having a set of morals is something entrenched in human nature, you just can't help it.

For these reasons society should be built around rules that benefit the majority of people, in other words "intelligently-designed" morals (the pun is intentional)

>>135686103
It's inaccurate to say that I'm only satisfying my own ego, if I didn't have consideration for the life of the murderer that you want me to kill then I wouldn't feel bad about killing them in the first place. I do care about people to a normal extent but I won't go out of my way to help starving children in africa or kill some person just to help someone else, that's not my responsibility because I didn't create those situations.

>>135685929
Evil is not really a word I'd associate with overeating bro. Hell even most crime isn't really evil just bad. I mean you don't really here people throw the word evil around outside of like RPGs and shows. Its reserved for like mass murder or genocide.

>>135681157
no one person should ever be allowed to hold such power, and he is the prime example for that. Not only would he have killed people that were lazy or didn't live correctly up to his standard, which mind you he never made clear to the public because he wants to hide under anonymity. But also the mere fact he thinks once a criminal always a criminal and thus should be killed for good, which concept has been refuted countless times in the past.

>>135686185
So you would be on the moral highground if you simply didn't see the murderer as a person.

Guess what everybody, as long as you hate them, murder is morally sound.

>>135681157
He killed more than just criminals though. That was what made the entire series so fucking funny. It was about a edgelord wannabe "god" who ended up taking it too far and becoming a criminal himself.

It's fun.

>>135685941
People are more than the sum of their crimes, you blind little shit. If you truly came from somewhere where you experiences "hardship" you would understand that.

Some people are born with nothing, they are raised wanting more for themselves, and they are not given the tools to help them gain anything more than the shit they came from. Their life is fucking pain. Eventually they might turn to drugs, or they might rob a store because they have poor impulse control. They might regret it for the rest of their lives and turn their lives around and work hard, like my fucking dad as he's struggling to help me pay my way through college.

Or they might stay a scumbag forever and become an actual Nazi like my uncle.

You don't fucking know. You don't know anything about these people you want murdered.

>>135686185
You think that saying shit like "morality is subjective" and talking about how you justify doing what you want with shit like "that's not my responsibility because I didn't create those situations" makes you wise, but it's really idiotic and edgy because you fundamentally don't comprehend the level of extreme hypocrisy in your words.

You define morality as you see fit to keep yourself safe from scrutiny and responsibility while casually condemning huge swathes of everyone else not because you actually have a problem with them, but because you think it earns you edgy credibility. As I said, you think you're cool, but you're not. You are a sociopath.

>>135686184
If you give up concepts like good and evil then you have no morality at all. Do you share my view that you either believe values are either absolute or you don't they don't exist at all? What would be the point of believing that murder is bad "in my opinion"? Would you go ahead and stop someone from killing an innocent if they believed it's okay or not? If you see moral values as ice cream flavors then they hold any water at all in your day to day life. You say that you can do good deeds without having moral beliefs because it's in your nature, but I remain in the position that you can't simply act impulsively on your good intentions without rationalizing them into absolute moral principals.

>>135686188
Evil is a bit too strong but it's synonymous with "bad" in most cases as far as I'm concerned.

>>135686242
Hate is also evil because it hurts you as well, and also while you may kill someone while angry and not feel bad about it, eventually when the anger subsides you will feel terrible guilt.

>>135686426
I never said morality is subjective. The rest of your post I can't really address and amounts to "you think you're cool but actually you're not" with no further explanation.

>>135686431
>eventually you will feel guilt
And if I don't? Hate simply allowed me to kill an evil person without remorse. Obviously it is a force of righteousness.
>you can't act on your good intentions without making them a morality

Because he became drunk with power and soon had no second thoughts about killing innocent people.

>>135686431
What I'm saying is you can act as if your moral principles were absolute without actually believing they are, because:
We, as humans, are hard-wired (not in a religious way, but in an evolutionary way) to have morals.
We (should) follow the rules we believe to be the best for us and, by extension, society.

This discussion is dangerously close to become a religious debate though, inb4:
>see, atheists can't be good people because they have no fixed concept of good

>>135685883
Fuck your uncle I hope he dies. And he deserves the death penalty or life in prison at least for this persistent disregard for human lives. You reap what you fucking sow.

It's not about breaking laws. He's a scumbag who hates or disregard every single one of us. He would murder me for a bit of money. He might even murder you. People who treat humans beings like trash do no deserve any better.

Also it's likely you have the same shit genetic that led him to do that to innocent people. Please don't reproduce.

>>135686582
He never killed anyone innocent. Don't want shit? Then don't try to stop someone who not only reduced the crime rate by 70%, but also saved millions of innocent victims of murder, rape and torture.

If you disagree with Kira, then you approve of the murder of all these innocent people. You become a murder enabler and therefore an indirect accomplish. And YOU are the one that deserves to be shot like a dog.

>>135686516
There is a high chance that as you mature you will eventually feel the guilt, unless you are a cold killer but if you are then you simple can't mature and you're too emotionally fucked up to feel guilt.

When I said that you can't act on your good intentions without having a morality I didn't mean that only people who have a belief in morality are the ones who have good intentions and everyone else is nasty. You can have good intentions and not believe in anything, however it's human nature to turn our intentions into rationalizations so we would be able to explain why we did why we did. It's human nature to have absolute principals period. Even a belief in moral relativism is an absolute value, because we are inclined that way. A moral relativist has made a judgment about the nature of morality, and has concluded that everyone who is not of the position of moral relativism is wrong.

>>135681157
Because he has the power to murder anyone he feels like and he used that power many times already. Thats absolutely reason enough to try to catch him.

I used anecdotes to explain how you don't understand what you're talking about and don't empathize with people you want dead. If you can't address that, than you are a sociopath or a retard.

As for accusing you of "you think you're cool but actually you're not" that's actually because I want to give you a better excuse for being this evil and horrid. You think it's an insult, but it's either that or "You are just evil, period.".

>>135686610
My uncle has never killed anyone, he's just beat the shit out of some people at bards that probably deserved it, robbed some houses, and sold some drugs. I'm not trying to excuse anything, I think he's a scumbag too and I don't like him, but you're being melodramatic as fuck.

>>135686625
I agree, but this is why we don't fucking kill people when they become criminals. You don't know their true worth. You can't know. Taking another persons life is an extreme responsibility not to be disregarded. When you kill someone, you snuff out everything they've done, everything they could do, their hopes, their dreams, the love of their family, fucking everything. I believe in the death penalty, but only because I know that there are some people truly beyond redemption. That's not a casual choice to make based on a quick google like Light does though.

Killing isn't good, no matter what situation. Life is something precious that people should try and preserve.

Death does nothing to remedy pain in our world, it only leads to more death, more broken bonds, more hatred, more rage, more revenge.

That's why Light had to be stopped, he was killing people to make a world where people feared him and his power. he was a monster and a true tyrant.

Being Good is the only path people should take and those who fall to evil, should be helped and corrected to become good. Everyone has the compassion and ability to become a member of society and follow our laws and regulations to help everyone lead a good life.

Yea bro, I "came from nothing", the only person in the last couple generations to graduate high school, and some of my inlaws moved from mexico becouse of some drug shit. The whole lot is shit. But i didn't cry because the world treated me like shit and i got delt a shit hand, i got a fucking job, and worked hard. I got recognized for my hard work and got a better job. I keep getting better jobs and work 14 - 16 hour days every week to pay off the land im buying (22 btw). When i done, it'll make me the only land owner in my family.

>>135686852
I'm not sure what you mean by righteous, but I consider having empathy to better than being a psychopath because without it you suffer. As a result of having empathy you can't kill people without causing damage to yourself. I don't think the nuke situation is very likely to happen and if it did, it'll be none of my responsibility to stop it, so the thought doesn't really disturb me. Having to kill someone would cause me a lot more guilt than failing to stop someone from being murdered because I don't feel guilty about things that aren't my fault.

>>135686963
>If you had the Death Note would you do the same?
Yes. Also scare every rulers or would be rulers in the world shitless about mistreating their people and declaring pointless wars. I would also have our legislative bodies start respecting our damned constitution.

All in all I wouldn't kill anyone that hasn't completely disregarded the value of human life. Unless they try to stop me, in which case it's self defense not only of myself but all the people I'm saving.

I wouldn't have anyone worship me though. That's fucking tacky.

You what? But I feel no guilt or remorse, I feel nothing for any act I've committed.

I haven't had a fight in over 8 years and I'm 20 years old man. You would rekt me. It won't change how I feel. Good is something that I hold dearest to my heart and it has given me more than being filled with anger and hate or bitterness ever did.

The whole show was about how power corrupts you and turns you into what youre fighting against.

Psychologically speaking that's actually factually inaccurate on many levels.
Life isn't like the plot of a fictional story, in our reality due to the complex nature of our composition physically and as the result of time and experience past a certain point or due to mental illness some people are past the capacity for "the power of good'.

You can talk to them for however long makes you feel good, but they won't register a thing you're saying. It's like speaking to someone in another language and expecting them to just understand your view for your sake.

They would need and presumably want to recover because empathy plays an important role in your life and you can't be at peace without it. At any rate if someone is a psychopath because they were born with the condition and they never knew what it's like in the first place then they are truly acting without malice and unaware that they're hurting anyone. It would be the same as if you stepped on an ant without noticing, I can't call it evil, though possibly negligent.
It's also a good thing to prevent people from killing you whenever you can so that you'll prevent them from further damaging their mental health.

>>135687502
If the alternative is killing someone then I see no other choice. I'm not bothered by the slight possibility I might get murdered in my home because it's such a small chance that I might as well be getting worried about getting hit by lightning. It's not like not killing people will significantly reduce your life expectancy, realistically.

>>135687681
I consider death to be bad because I consider life to have a purpose, but even if it didn't have any killing someone is still bad. I'm also against mercy killings for the same reason, even if someone might benefit from it you're still doing a bad thing to yourself by committing the mercy killing.

>>135687712

Oh no wait, you called me a retard, so now im going to kill you and the police is going to be totally okay with it.

You people seem to think not everyone can be good. Well then, if you think so lowly of humanity, and of people in general.

When did you forsake yourselves?

If people think not everyone can be good, then I must recant my previous statement, Life is precious.

Life is something that shouldn't be lost to humans, but for those who are unable to lead a life of goodness and follow the examples society leads, and then refuses to change after so much kindness and love, so much compassion is given to them?

After all that, and the person still has not changed. They should be put to death, because if they want to act like animals instead of humans then we will treat them like animals. We will cry over it, we will apologize to the person and their family. Because it will create broken bonds and probably breed hatred.

But people like that are evil and evil should not be allowed to be on earth. Only good should remain here. That is my stand on this.

BUT SOCIOPATHS ARE.
You keep saying things about "Mental health", but your metric for mental health values the mentally impaired over the mentally free. Obviously, everyone else is flawed and evil and only the remorseless sociopaths are good and righteous.

>>135687536
>by letting joker get away
Bruce has nothing to do with that. Everyone in Arkham is responsible, the GCPD is responsible, Bruce Wayne is just someone going out his way to make the irresponsibility of the city less harmful to the other innocents of Gotham.

In the future of the animated series in Batman Beyond he's given up, and crime still persists. You can say he's ineffectual, that's sort of true, but people who inexplicably conflate the crime and evil of Gotham to Batman somehow are exactly why evil wins. Its ills will always be shrugged onto the innocent.
>Inb4 those shitty written stories where a writer has Batman go out his way to save Joker due to some contrived plot convenience
Those aren't representative of the characters or anything outside the nonsense in the heads of writers and readers who already assume Bruce is the fulcrum of everything in Gotham. He's Batman to begin with because Gotham inflicted upon him something he and others failed to prevent, he's just a reaction not the cause.

>>135681157
>Why were people even trying to catch Light
Why the fuck wouldn't they? It doesn't even matter if he's using it for "good" or not. Not only is what he's doing illegal, Death Note is literally an extremely easy-to-use weapon of mass destruction that's in the hands of some random moron. That alone is more than enough of a justification to warrant a manhunt.

Literally L had no reason to even challenge Light. This fucker was just a dumbass who wanted to stop someone who was delivering justice to criminals.

>>135687963
Well I can't really view sociopaths with the same framework I use to think about other normal humans, they have a different nature than normal humans so my beliefs about "human nature" don't necessarily apply to them. We can consider them to be like intelligent animals but even animals have some empathy. You can treat them like you would wild bears.

The anime kind of flubbed this. The manga explains it better. There is no afterlife in the Death Note universe When Ryuk told Light that no human who uses the death note can go to heaven or hell, what he's saying is that you can use the death note without worrying that you're going to damn your soul to hell (because hell doesn't exist).

That sounds like it doesn't it? but the thing about good is it can change many evil people. Human's have emotions and good plays on those, people are not born evil, they're taught it. People are born good, and change over time. That's the difference.

Good will always rise above evil, but evil will always strike hard and hinder good for a bit.

>he was chuuni as fuck while Light had actual power at his disposal
In L's defense he's a product of his environmet. The Wammy House gave him a lot of resources so as he said he's someone who doesn't like to lose. He's been raised to think he's some sort of special person. Admittedly he's very intelligent, but that doesn't put him the position to play chess with the lives of others.

Not that anything could be done about it since Light indulged that sort of thing to an extent. It's also convenient how the shinigami look down on Earth and probably saw these events but no one bothered to inform the Death God King about Light and Ryuk's antics.

My life is in no way shape or form perfect. In fact I struggled with depression for a good part of it.

At my new job while I go to college. Customers actually write in and tell my bosses and managers how Kind I am to them, how good my customer service is. How I'm such a optimistic person. I never thought people cared that much before but it made my co-workers angry and jealous and I could see how many didn't even like me to begin with. I am now employee of the quarter and on my way to a promotion.

Long story short, Good is the best path you should take, hell dude. I was my High School's Student Council president.


I chose to give my life to being a good person and nothing but good has followed since, I don't have a girlfriend though. But I have faith that will happen at its own time.

>>135688341
It's not true that they're unaffected. You have to be deeply fucked in order to be able to kill people and not care. Most serial killer I've seen interviewed are emotionally empty shells that can't even be relaxed or laugh. Being able to hurt people without feeling anything is far from being a useful perk.

If they don't, nobody accepts them. It's the basis for a law to be this, and self justice is a unquestionble crime.

>>135688404
Prove we aren't. Since you're at it, prove there is such thing as good or evil

>>135688325
Why is that? I know the world is unfair, but I don't see the connection. Belief in absolute values is naturally occurring, if you believe in something then you believe it absolutely. If you think that hurting people is evil then you think that's absolute. It's inevitable that we make such judgments, even if we realize that we might be wrong and have skepticism of our own opinions.

It's not morally good because you hurt yourself and you hurt others while knowing. Someone who is a killer is aware that they're hurting people they just don't care. This is consistent with my previous statements.

I have friends who are cynical assholes, I have friends I actually hate. But I deal with them all with a smile on my face because I honor their friendship and respect their character.

It is evil, you could use the same methods to actually prevent them from doing any more harm. Going for kill is putting you on the same level as him, you stop him and remove his threat then call the police and wait for them to arrive and they'll take it from there.

Putting the criminal to death doesn't give you satisfaction, him being in jail. Learning what he did was wrong and being re-educated is better than a senseless loss of life.

He was a criminal who on more then one occasion killed innocent cops that were just doing their job.

You also have to realize that ultimately Death Note is a manga about Light vs Everyone else. The author has said himself that there's really no deep morality questions he was trying to raise. It's simply a battle between two geniuses.

>>135686685
So being murderous sociopath is OK so long as its for the greater good?
Light, quit shitposting on /a/. You have to go meet Near at the warehouse.

>>135688934
There is never an option that 100% assures the survival of the person it's used against. Even something like a submission hold might make him pop an aneurysm or something.

You feel the negative effects of guilt by further propagating a self destructive lifestyle. You will also end up regretting what you did if you ever become less hardened and change into a normal person.
>Without feeling guilt
But, you do know you're doing something bad, since you are aware of human emotions, so you have to warp your mind to suppress that guilt, which will result in psychological tension that will manifest one way or another which will damage you.

>>135688763
I don't think values are eternal and absolute, I think values come from human nature which is subject to change, but because every human is so similar and human nature is so consistent in between humans we end up operating as if values are absolute. Because it's universally agreed upon that the sun rises in the east we consider that to be a fact, and we treat it as an absolute value.

>>135688924
Who said anything about your buzzwords. Light was directly saving millions of innocent people by making thousands of monsters shit themselves at the thought of doing something horrible.

L, during the whole series DID NOT GIVE A SINGLE FUCK about all the victims of crimes and Near showed NO REMORSE at the thousands that would die immediately after Kira's fall.
They were luxury investigators here for their ego and paycheck. Who is the sociopath now?

>>135688908
Fucking this. Tsugumi Ohba stated that there were no shades of gray for Light and that his life was ruined the minute he picked up the notebook.
John Dalberg-Acton said it best when he said "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
This quote perfectly describes the themes Death Note tackled.

>>135688866
>Thank god those three lives were selfless enough to martyr themselves so that this criminal would have a chance at redemption.

Even if it comes to this, don't you think your life was worth giving up? Even though you died to evil, him living in misery over what he did after being re-educated on life and people. Should be satisfying to you. You didn't die in vain, him becoming a better person, him apologizing to you and spending years of his life in jail should be enough for you.

>>135681987
At risk of being edgy, you don't need an excuse to take whatever action you want to protect yourself against a perceived threat. A zebra doesn't need an excuse to kick a lioness to death any more than the lioness needs one to tear out the zebra's throat.

We're a little more advanced and can plan scenarios before they happen, which means if we know someone is a murderer/rapist/thief/etc. then we don't have to wait until they're committing the crime to react.

Natural law is that if you have the ability to do something, you have the right to do it. There are no such things as rights you cannot enforce. Society is just a system of responsibility distribution through which a few can dedicate themselves to enforcing agreed upon rights for the whole.

It is no one's responsibility, or rather the responsibility lies with the murder to stop themselves from doing bad deeds. I believe that by refraining from killing you'd be fulfilling your duty to yourself to be as mentally healthy as possible by not killing anyone and that's more important than having things stolen from you or dying. Mental health is the highest value.

But you don't. You are just getting yours, after all. How is this bad? I mean you aren't feeling guilt. therefore you are righteous.

You are also comparing natural phenomenon to morality. One exists separate from humans. The other exists because of them. These cannot be compared unless you believe in the observation theory of reality.

At this point I really am just poking you because you are only capable of going around in circles and making claims that you can't back up. Seriously, go reflect on your morality, it's completely fucked.

You are by definition warping your mind in order to avoid the guilt. In this scenario we're not talking about a born psycho that is physically unable to understand other human's emotion. It could be said that those killers who numb their emotions are feeling the effects of guilt but in other ways. They're being bad for themselves, and would do well to try to fix themselves so they could properly empathize with other people.

I do understand some specific things about the human mind reasonably well enough to form an opinion on them. By default you feel bad when you hurt people, but there are ways to repress that guilt. I have personal experience with being an edgy faggot so this much I do know. Things only got tricky when you brought up born sociopath that physically can't understand what they're doing wrong by hurting people, this isn't the same as someone who's a cold killer but fully understands and is tormented by the evil shit that he does. Actually brain damaged people can't be blamed any more than an elephant can be blamed for stepping on someone.

The multiple universe thing isnt really that hard to follow and these publishers are making it even easier by combining their universes together

What pisses me off are stories that happen at different points in time for just one event, like that story about superman losing his power and batman getting amnesia. That shit was all over the place

>>135689211
That's because those monarchs had a number of subjects and political advisors that he was wise enough to listen to them and grant them political power rather than hog all the power to himself.

>>135689306
>Why cant batman do the same?
Because Batman engineering a prison would raise some serious questions. He's not a public figure like Luthor.

Also Batman working with those people is not the same as being in charge of or responsible for them. You've failed to make any point why Bruce Wayne should be held accountable for Gotham's degeneracy.

It does matter because your existence in those moments before you die will be full of agony. Morality has to do with how you live your life, not what happens after you die (unless you believe in heaven).

>>135689656
And said advisers were magically not corrupted by power. Who knows, maybe because they were good people at heart and wanted to serve their country well.

Unless you're talking about an event which is a very specific and irrelevant thing in comics to begin with, that's rarely ever a problem.
Writers have runs that may influence or be influenced by others but are largely self-contained.

Also not every comic runs on the formula you're talking about so your generalization is even less accurate.

>>135689634
No, you don't. Let me tell you, as someone who has had to extensively study medicine, you do not understand the human mind at ALL. Most people aren't tormented by anything they do, no matter how terrible. That would be evolutionary disadvantageous. As a result, we can rationalize away literally anything we do and continue on with our lives VERY easily.

You don't just have personal experience being an edgy faggot, now you are just nega-edgy and just as stupid.

>>135689693
No they won't, by your moral views I am doing the right thing, my life will be spent at peace, basking in the glow of your system of morality. Then, I will end my life, before I can question your obviously perfect and not at all as porous as a sieve moral outlook.

Seriously, you are too much fun.

So you are saying I am right? Thanks anime girl. I think you are cute.

Unless you specifically studied the psychology of criminals and the effect it has on their lives then your so called medical knowledge amounts to shit.

>There are a few people who hold the power to rain death over the whole world with nuclear weapons. Why aren't they doing it?
Mutually Assured Destruction dipshit. The minute one nation fires a nuke, EVERYONE does.
Even North Korea knows that they should only have nukes as a deterrent lest they unleash Nuclear Armageddon.
The only people who don't give a shit about MAD are radical mudslimes.

See, this is exactly the attitude that leads to people condoning cold-blooded mass murder and all the other evils of the world.

Live free or die, anon. There are things worse than death. Tyranny is one of them.

Psychology can kiss my anus, I actually know about the brain and am not just studying the mind through observations of actions.

You. Are. An imbecile.

Who are you quoting?

>>135689795
How would you have any peace if you just run around killing people? You act as if you explained some flaw in my morality without doing all the hard work. My morality condemns all of killing as being absolutely evil and you failed to show a single instance where my morality would allow for killing.

>>135689724
Fine, I'm done with this joke. Court of Owls, League of Shadows, Penguin, Bane.
End of story. Any attempt Wayne could make on Gotham can easily be undone or manipulated by any of the individuals above with more influence than all his money combined.

If you pretend the Court of Owls, who just recently showed their power play by having a bunch of vigilante youths held captive at their whim and have infiltrated Arkham Asylum easily, aren't capable of dismantling the efforts of one man you're just shitposting now. Bruce can only do so much, and if he does more than he should be publicly believed capable his Batman persona will be exposed and his efforts will be work even quicker against him.

"Why doesn't Batman just do thing" is exactly how situations like Tower of Babel happened, once he does someone else can manipulate it.

Unless you did research and personally spoke with people who did time for murder and other serious crimes your evo psych is worth jack all. I see this is the point in the argument where you abandon all attempts at proving your point with reason and have to rely on your authority as a neurology expert witness and I just have to take your word for it.

I would have peace because your flawless truth will have guided me to kill everybody before they began to suffer from me killing anybody. I would be doing the right thing, as death is apparently preferable to suffering, as you would rather die than kill in self defense and live with the guilt. I would be propelled forward by fervent belief in your objective truth, spurred on with religious fervor. I would not feel any guilt even as the seven billionth person died, because I did them a favor and saved them from suffering.

Your morality doesn't just allow for killing, it encourages it. In fact, it encourages omnicide. Again, you are an idiot.

If I was a god the world would be at peace, you plebs.

>>135689978
>spoke with
Studied the brains of. Like, out of their head. "Spoke with" my ass. Psychology is a soft science, nothing a psychologist says has actually been verified. Meanwhile, biology and neurology are hard sciences.

Now please, go reevaluate your imbecilic worldview.

>>135690006
>I would have peace because your flawless truth will have guided me to kill everybody before they began to suffer from me killing anybody
Show that my words imply this using a quote.

>as death is apparently preferable to suffering
Let's assume death is apparently preferable to suffering, this doesn't mean you're encouraged to kill people to prevent them from suffering, because killing them would cause you more suffering and is therefore forbidden.

>>135690091
>it would cause you more suffering
Unless I killed lots of people, in which case even if I did feel any suffering and was not running on pure religious delusion it would be outweighed by the suffering I prevented. I would be in the moral black seven billion times over. I'm not suffering, because I know I'm doing right.

Get it now? Or are you still too dense to understand this very simple concept?

>>135690082
You're rambling. I couldn't care less about the scientific rigor psychology, nor was I even the one to bring your schooling up in the first place.

You don't have to be a psychologist in order to ask someone a question about their subjective experience of a certain effect. You do realize this is what neurologist do some of the time?

I don't want to skim up, but merely your admission that killing someone that will kill you is wrong because it will cause you suffering is an admission that death is preferable to suffering.

>>135690158
I literally never once in this entire thread said or implied that preventing suffering of other people in any way can cancel out the damage you do by killing a single person. You can't simply add up all the suffering you prevent and the suffering you cause and if you prevent more then it's ok to cause suffering in order to do it, you may be making the assumption that I'm some sort of utilitarian that tries to add up and substract utility but this is far from the truth. Countless times in this thread I've said that you shouldn't kill even a single person in order to save a hundred.

>>135681157
>Why were people even trying to catch Light
Because they or the people they worked for disagreed with what he was doing. It doesn't really get more complex than that.

>>135690345
But I am, and I'm the one doing the killing in your name remember? See, humans do this thing called rationalization. It's what keeps us moving through all kinds of shitty situations. And as long as I cling to this interpretation, I am free of suffering and can continue killing all I want until I kill myself, by your moral philosophy being completely and totally righteous from the beginning of my wonderful omnicide to the end

So you see now? Or do I have to FURTHER fucking deconstruct it? Your moral system doesn't work. It actually accomplishes the opposite of what you seem to want it to do. It is by far one of the worst systems of morality I have ever come across, and that's saying something.

Please, kill yourself to prevent your own suffering and the suffering of others, by your admission it is the right thing to do.

>>135690345
>Countless times in this thread I've said that you shouldn't kill even a single person in order to save a hundred.
Why not? I mean it's not like there's objective moral truths in any sense. You could kill 100 people to save one and there's nothing really wrong with that decision. Other people might judge you for it and you have to live with it but that's about all that would come of it.

>>135690345
>shouldn't kill even a single person in order to save a hundred
So you're allowing one hundred killings to happen over one?

>>135690345
Kill yourself to save yourself from your own suffering and preventing yourself from getting entangled in the suffering of others. You have to do this, by your own moral system it is the most moral thing you could do at this point in time.

>>135690279
>admission that death is preferable to suffering.
This isn't the thing I asked the quote for.

>>i don't care that you know better than me
I have zero interest in any sort of medical training you may have had (and I generously take your word for) if you have no argument to present aside from it.

>>135690456
How are you doing killing in my name? With every post the portion of meaningful content decreases and the amount of victory dancing increases. Please phrase yourself properly.

>>135690560
Why are you assuming that death is preferable to suffering? You should aim to live in spite of suffering, however you shouldn't create more suffering for yourself in order to extend your life. As long as you're not put in a dilemma where you're forced to either kill or die, you shouldn't kill yourself, and nothing I said implied that.

>>135681157
Oh yeah in 1984 the crime rates went down by 99%. Guess you should live in this universe then

>>135690631
>You should aim to live in spite of suffering, however you shouldn't create more suffering for yourself in order to extend your life. As long as you're not put in a dilemma where you're forced to either kill or die, you shouldn't kill yourself, and nothing I said implied that.
It's really a matter of personal preference man.

>>135690631
>Why are you assuming that death is preferable to suffering?
Because you would rather me die than kill an assailant, because I would apparently invariably suffer from crushing guilt if I did. Therefore death>suffering. Therefore, people should immediately kill themselves before they suffer or cause suffering.
>How are you doing killing in my name?
This is your system of morality. I've never seen it before you, therefore it is in your name I carry out the tenants of your broken philosophy. You seriously can't be so stupid that you never explored the implications of your own worldview, can you?

>>135690631
I'm going to exit out of this thread now and leave you to damage control to yourself. I bet you can rationalize away literally everything you read tonight anyways, humans are good at that.
