Ridiculous. My time travelling powers will allow me to introduce the Internet two millenia prior. Soon, thanks to paradoxes, all of you shall worship me for inventing the Internet!
Alright, I just watched the latest ep.
Damn, Naruto dominated Kurama
◊ and after he had his chakra stolen, he looked haggard but still had enough for a tailed beast bomb. That was done well.
Minato and Kushina's finding out about the pregnancy and such was "cute" and slice of life-ish.
Biwako seemed like a very no nonsense type of lady but she had a soft spot for Hiruzen.
Baby sauce wasn't as cute as baby Kurama.
Kushina's
◊ seal looked worse than Naruto and I suspect he's the only jinchuuriki to really tap into his power.
I suspect either the Cloud or Mist were the main destroyers of the Land of Eddies.
And I was always figured the Temari and Kankuro weren't that great. So for the fantasy match up from early, I'd have them lose.
For Kabuto, I'll restate a suggestion I made earlier. He should order one of his zombies to kill him and then revive him as a zombie. Then he'd truly be unbeatable (barring sealing) and the main sealers are on his side. He also should have a platoon or so dedicated to unsealing him if he is ever sealed. His 4th or 5th ace/thhaaaaat jutsu.

(•_•)⌐■-■ ( ಠ_ಠ)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)Would you push someone off a bridge dooming them to be killed by a train if it meant saving 5 people standing further down the tracks?
There are 6 people on a life raft, including you. Would you support pushing one off if it meant saving everyone else?
I've come across this in my own philosophy classes. The answer is yeah, I'd do it. No, let me rephrase that. I view the killing the one person as the correct thing to do in each case, but my gut might stop me from actually doing it just like I'd find it damn near impossible to really smother a baby in one of the other hypotheticals given about having to suffocate the crying baby to hide everyone else from the nazis. This standpoint is a matter of consequentialist thinking, by the way.
Anyway, as I remember it the results tend to be that if the situation is made impersonal, everyone chooses to kill the one guy. If you have to get your hands dirty, people view the situation differently even if the result is exactly the same. They come up with some really nonsensical objections, too. It's kind of interesting.
And Karin is generally spelled Karen when it's a derivative of Catherine or whatever.

Yeah, that was the gist of it. I don't think the baby/Nazi one was the fourth one we had, though.
I'm gonna binge on new episodes of One Piece and Naruto at some point after my exam.
The sad, REAL American dichotomy^^ Yeah, it's just a classic. The other example I know of is about doctors. In the first case, there's a terrible trolley car accident* in which there is one critically injured patient and five moderately injured one. You can spend all day on the critically injured guy and save him, or spend the day on the five moderately injured ones and save them instead. Whichever group you don't take care of dies.
The second part of the question is then changing it to five patients in need of an organ donor or they'll die by the end of the day and luckily there is a guy all by himself in the waiting room. You could just pop out, harvest him for his organs and save all five! Note that I did balk at this one: As a doctor, you have more responsibilities than being just Some Guy.

Yep, that was it (both parts). Thanks.
I'd save the 5 if they were all injured, but if it's a guy in the waiting room, no. First Do No Harm, to start with on that one.

The sad, REAL American dichotomySoooooooooooo glad I had no psychology classes ever.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerI like it. It gets you thinking about ethics and other stuff. But here's the greek mythology version:
"You are ZEUS, God of Horndogs!. You have turned into a starfish. You could either rape one woman and have good sex, or rape 5 men and have moderate sex."

The sad, REAL American dichotomyEthical problems, psychology and philosophy are fun for me. I like to know why people do things and what they should be doing.
And no, Westerner. No taking third options. Like no saying you take all the organs from one of the guys that needs a transplant and giving them to the other four.

Agreed with Arha, again. It's really quite sickening. Why is he making reasoned sense all of a sudden?
@Westy: ZEUS, God of Horndogs! has no need for courtship! In fact, here, he isn't a starfish. He turns himself into souvlaki and rapes them through the mouth.
I think this is still a parallel scenario.
Note that Zeus has his own section on Rape Is Okay If Its Divine On Mortal.

The sad, REAL American dichotomyEthical problems fell into my philosophy lessons, whereas psychology was an optional lesson you could only take if enough people gathered for a class. Thankfully, they didn't. I don't trust my classmates enough for this line of discussion. It might be different in university though.
Hmmmm, I think Konan is going to storage.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerNaruto said The Mask is beyond Talk no Jutsu.
I still wanna know who would win between Darui and Kakashi. And what you guys think about Darui having White Water.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyJeeez, the Rape Is Okay If Its Divine On Mortal page has some laame creepiness.
