Grunge: "just because something is legal doesn't mean that its moral"

I agree, and likewise just because something (like say copying CDs for friends) is illegal, it doesn't mean that it's automatically immoral.

Several posters have a big problem with "trying to morally justify an illegal act" but that assumes that laws are always intended for the moral good, which is questionable, dontchya think?

Half-Life 2: You've got crabs.

Interesting article, but just because a person knows that to succeed in a game they must follow a set series of actions doesn't mean that they'll apply this to try and succeed in everyday life.

The idea that games work in some way to socialise us forms the basis of a lot of debate, but ignores the fact that people can actually tell the difference between the 'game world' and the real world, and so our behaviour (including how we try and solve problems or strive for any kind of success) changes accordingly.
