In reference to the manipulation of photos by computer...
|
||
|
||
On an episode of "Max Headroom", a similar idea (projected for the
|
||
early 21st century) was proposed, except it manipulated a whole VIDEO.
|
||
As an example, an old film of the Trojan horse was changed to show the
|
||
"Trojan Sheep". If we hve the capability to totally manipulate sound and
|
||
a still photo, then does manipulation of an entire segment of film seem
|
||
too far fetched for 2005??? That could open up a world of possibilites.
|

And problems.

Video News!
|
||
|
||
Today, I recieved two video tapes. One was an addition to my Max
|
||
Headroom collection. On this tape was the second ever episode titled
|
||
"Raking". The other episode involved "Xenobabies", babies created with
|
||
no parents. I'll be bringing this tape to RufusCon. This episode is
|
||
particularly interesting because a) it looks sorta good for a multi-
|
||
generation copy and b) it was NEVER aired on network TV. It's intact
|
||
with good edits and no network "inserts" such as voice-overs or screen
|
||
logos superimposed over the screen...
|
||
|
||
The other tape had a letterboxed copy of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". I
|
||
know a lot of us are interested in animation... so, if anyone wants to
|
||
see the letterboxed version, let me know... It's a very good quality
|
||
tape direct from a CAV laserdisc, and it's actually SHARPER than a
|
||
commercial copy (in my opinion).
|
||
|
||
Also, if anyone is interested in a letterboxed tape of "Blade Runner"
|
||
with supplementary material, let me know. I can get you some details.

Eating meat and hunting have very little to do with one another unless
|
||
you are a wolf. The ethics involved with factory farming are quite
|
||
different than the ethics involved with going out and killing an animal
|
||
so you can survive; likewise, the ethics involved in killing another
|
||
creature solely for the sport have very little to do with survival. You
|
||
should be aware of that. Most deer hunts, or any other type of "sport"
|
||
hunting, are not conducted for survival, they are conducted for
|
||
trophies. If I'm not mistaken, that's kind of in the definition of
|
||
"sport."
|
||
Incidentally, saying, "Well, you eat meat, don't you?" has always
|
||
struck me as one of the most reprehensible ways to avoid the issue of
|
||
human ethics toward animals and the environment that there is. By
|
||
(incorrectly) implying that if someone does something that could be
|
||
seen as supporting something ethically questionable, he is no longer
|
||
fit to comment on the ethics of ANY related topics, it makes it possible
|
||
to blow off any questions he raises without even stopping to consider
|
||
what they may have said. It is a fallacy of the worst sort, whose only
|
||
purpose is to allow its proponents to comfortably avoid questioning
|
||
their own beliefs -- and it's the sort of misdirection someone who has
|
||
tried to set himself up as an electronic Socrates, which you apparently
|
||
would like to be, shouldn't be shoveling out.

I don't /believe/ you just said that!! TBBS is not a bulletin board

You seem to have split the debate into two topics. Here are my
|
||
repsponses to each:
|
||
The first half of your message merely agreed with what I was
|
||
implying: that there is a difference between 'butchering' and 'hunting.'
|
||
But do you really feel that survival is the true difference: do you
|
||
really feel that every, or even most, cows are butchered for the
|
||
survival of humans? In other words, do cows die that we may live -- or
|
||
that we may have a somewhat more compact protein source? Again I ask:
|
||
what is the difference between 'hunting' and 'butchering'?
|
||
Your second issue, that of should a morally imperfect man make
|
||
moral judgements, is a really interesting question in itself. If I
|
||
answer yes, I would be hard pressed to find a source (that is, a
|
||
morally perfect Being saying it's okay for us humans to judge by
|
||
anything but Her standards.) If I answer no, then I would be doing
|
||
exactly what I said I shouldn't do: make moral judgements.
|
||
In any case, I apologize for having seemed to make that assumption.
|
||
However, I don't feel that's a moral fallacy of the worst sort.
|
||
Looking at it from a strictly pragmatic viewpoint, you say that if
|
||
everyone believed that idea, some people would ignore the viewpoints
|
||
of others, those who haven't completely followed the Way. (of whatever
|
||
diety is currently in vogue.) I say, that any perfect Diety would have
|
||
a moral standard far above any we humans could reach; if we actually
|
||
believed that idea, we would agree that morality comes from a source
|
||
outside of humanity, and we all would tend to agree much more about
|
||
perfect morality.
|
||
By the way, thanks for the Socrates analogy!

Yes I agree that it will open a world of problems. As far as
|
||
manipulating a whole movie, That seems pretty unlikely. Even if it was
|
||
to materialize, it would still be done frAme by frame even thpough it is
|
||
on tape. So it is still basicallythe same thing, just on a greater
|
||
scale.

Ok! Here are the results of the contest!
|
||
There Were som minor moral problems that I have resolved
|
||
by unfairly changing the rules...(Tough, I try to keep every body happy)
|
||
|
||
The Scale of Access is as follows:(Highest to lowest)
|
||
|
||
Rabbit God Allmighty Access
|
||
Rabbit God-Like Access
|
||
Demi-Rabbit-God-Like Access
|
||
Titanic Rabbit Access
|
||
Immortal Bunny Access
|
||
Heroic Hare Access
|
||
Average Rabbit Access
|
||
Baby-Bunny Access-(New Users)
|
||
Non-Posting Leech Access
|
||
|
||
Now, All Visiting Sysops get Rabbit-God-Like Access within 24 hours of
|
||
Logging on for the first time. Most Access levels are based on how you
|
||
post, (usually, There can be exceptions.) All people will be BABY-BUNNY
|
||
ACCESS when they first log on. They will be updated to the following
|
||
levels within 24 hours. AND NOW THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED!
|
||
(If you think that your entry was misjudged, leave me E-mail here
|
||
and I may reconsider you position. Fair Enough?)
|
||
|
||
The Name That has Been chosen for the board is "The Warren" By Corwyn.
|
||
(Sorry Corwyn, but no Co-Sysop access because there is no need for one)
|
||
(but you do get Rabbit-God-Like Access....)
|
||
The Following people have Rabbit-God-Like Access:
|
||
Corwyn, Oden, Random, Turtle, Ender.
|
||
The folowing people have Demi-Rabbit-God-Like Access:
|
||
Nobody---You have to earn this by posting.
|
||
Titanic Rabbit Access:
|
||
Snakebyte, Max S. Cat.
|
||
Imortal Bunny Access:
|
||
Humming Bird, Mystral Milovlee, Night Owl.
|
||
Heroic Hare Access:
|
||
Cyberpunk, Coyote, Wolverine, Berlin, Dragon-Fly, Beatle.
|
||
Every one else will have Baby Bunny access until they post, Then they
|
||
will be average Rabbits. Leeches know their place.
|
||
The reason most of my closer friends got lower access levels is because
|
||
I know that they will post often, and I want them to set a good example
|
||
for others. (And It's more fun and satisfying to see your access go up
|
||
Because of what you do, not who you are.)
|
||
So Thats it folks! The board should be up within 2 weeks, So I'll post
|
||
the number as soon as it's up! Later And Blessed Be!

It's very unlikely you would be able to download a copy of TBBS,
|
||
since (1) it's an VERY expensive program; (2) Phil Decker (the
|
||
guy who worte it) seems to know everybody who buys it personally; and
|
||
(3) he gets very annoyed when he sees pirate TBBS boards running (and
|
||
yes, he does lok for them). So the net result is: People who buy
|
||
it don't give it to other people, even if they are otherwise pirates.
|
||
|
||
TBBS has the potential to be very lame if the sysop can't program or
|
||
doesn't know what he's doing. It can also be a pretty impressive system.
|
||
It all depends on the amount of work the sysop is willing to put into
|
||
it.

Why oh why oh why oh why oh why do you INSIST on dragging theology into
|
||
every issue that even remotely involves morals or ethics???
|
||
|
||
As far as your "butchering vs. hunting" question, here is the answer:
|
||
When you butcher a cow, you turn it into food. When you hunt for
|
||
sport, you turn your victim into a trophy. That is the difference.
|
||
Arguments about being able to find food from other sources are
|
||
irrelevant. In the first case, you are eating the animal; in the
|
||
second, you are killing for fun. Clear?

|

> What is the difference between hunting and butchering?
|
||
|
||
In the context of the original question, the difference is between
|
||
sport hunting, i.e., killing creatures for fun, and killing animals for
|
||
survival. I'm fairly sure I answered that -- in fact, I think I've
|
||
answered it at least twice.
|
||
If the question is pushed into the form of, "what is the difference
|
||
between killing free-ranging animals for food when necessary and factory
|
||
farming them," I think that it, too, would be patently obvious. The
|
||
practice of factory farming, and the associated cruelties perpetuated on
|
||
animals by treating them as a product rather than living beings with the
|
||
ability to suffer, is the main reason many "animal rights nuts" are
|
||
vegetarians -- not because eating meat is, in itself, a horrible sin.
|
||
|
||
As for whether or not a "morally imperfect" person has the right to
|
||
make moral judgements, your soliliquoy seemed to imply that morality
|
||
must come from an outside source. My original attack was against those
|
||
who say, "you must have benefitted at some point some time from
|
||
something that caused an animal to suffer," and dismiss the argument
|
||
entirely. Abstracting this to the philosophical level, as you've done,
|
||
is a nice intellectual exercise, but doesn't seem to serve a practical
|
||
point. By most religious systems of morality, we are all imperfect. If
|
||
you say nobody who is morally imperfect can make any judgement, then
|
||
we're all reduced to Jello. This is the opposite extreme of the type of
|
||
argument I was protesting, and they're both patently absurd to anyone
|
||
who isn't engaging in the mental masturbation beloved of philosophers.
|
||
|
||
Incidentally, while there are things to be said for the Socratic
|
||
dialogue, not all of them are good. It's possible to abstract things to
|
||
a level so wonderfully philosophical and intellectual that it has no
|
||
use in practical living -- which, to me, makes any such argument moot.

T>When you butcher a cow, you turn it into food. When you hunt for
|
||
T>sport, you turn your victim into a trophy. That is the difference.
|
||
|
||
And in every deer hunt I've ever heard of, the hunters ate the
|
||
venison. Although they might put deer heads on the walls, what
|
||
precisely is done with cow heads that much more moral? Cows brains
|
||
are not a common food...
|
||
Agreed: most hunting is not for food. But I still find the position
|
||
"No hunting should be allowed" to be extreme, and I also feel that if
|
||
eating meat is moral, hunting is also moral.
|
||
Simply, if one says one is morally allowed to eat animals, one says
|
||
that animals are lower than humans (unless, of course, one also says
|
||
one is morally allowed to eat humans.) In our own culture, we do all
|
||
we can to keep our own deceased "looking natural" as long as possible;
|
||
it is considered more moral to keep a dead person looking alive as
|
||
long as possible than it is to eat him. (Take a look at some of Western
|
||
culture's more strange religious relics.) Why does that not apply to
|
||
animals?

Anything concerning talking animals is of the Devil.

The Bible contains talking animals.

You misunderstood my original question. My question was "What is the

moral difference between hunting animals FOR FUN -- especially when

they're eaten later -- and factory farming them?" Neither is for a

||
person's survival.
|

I find it innately humorous that you say the Socratic dialogue is

bad because it abstracts things to heavily philosophical levels --

by using the Socratic method and abstracting the dialogue to one level

Yes kiddies it's just in time for the holidays, SPEEDWATCH.
|
||
The massive amount of brain power in charge of the police forces
|
||
between Tampa and Fort Myers has decided that since the holiday
|
||
season is the busiest for robbers due to the extra amount of
|
||
goodies in peoples homes, they are spending more time and money in
|
||
order to try to catch speeders. Yes be on lookout for the next month
|
||
for anal retentive police officers looking to spread fifty dollars of
|
||
holiday cheer for anyone who cares to exceed the speed limit. So
|

this holiday season rest assured that while someone may be breaking

into your home, they will show up as soon as they meet their new

quotas.

I have two major quibbls with your message.
|
||
|
||
(1) Nobody so far has said "All hunting is immoral." Once again, you
|
||
seem to be missing the point of the message.
|
||
(2) Not all deer hunters turn their prizes into food. In my experience
|
||
(recall that I grew up in the midwest, and that my father is a
|
||
hunter), most hunts are for trophies period. In addition, this
|
||
discussion is not limited to deer hunts; people hunt elk, pronghorn
|
||
antelope, and the like for sport with no particular consideration
|
||
given to eating the animal in question.

Okay, brace yourselves. You won't believe this one.
|
||
|
||
A person, who shall remain nameless to save much embarrassment, was
|
||
going to come to RufusCon. He asked me for directions. I told him to go
|
||
to Sarasota on New 301, and drive until he came to Shadowood Appartment
|
||
just before the Super America. Anyway, the FIRST mistake he made was
|
||
deciding to WALK. He wanted to make a journey fro part of Bradenton to
|
||
part of Sarasota. The second mistake he made was walking NORTH, since he
|
||
had no sense of direction. A usual deterrant for those wanting to go
|
||
south, he interpreted DOWNtown Bradenton as being south. He walked right
|
||
over another clue, THE GREEN BRIDGE. Now being in Palmetto, he realized
|
||
he was in the wrong place and spent all of his money getting a cab ride
|
||
home after WALKING 30 miles IN THE WRONG DIRECTION...

I said the Socratic dialogue could lead to confusion because it is too
|
||
often used to play devil's advocate. Also, the "dialogue" often ends up
|
||
being less about the issues at hand and more about the words being used
|
||
by one of the debaters. The one with a greater command of the language,
|
||
or simply with more experience at word games, pounces on the letter of
|
||
what someone said when there is a possibility of twisting it away from
|
||
that person's meaning and ends up "disproving" the other's argument on
|
||
linguistic grounds. This is the sort of abstraction I am talking about
|
||
and it's something a lot of New Collegians, both in and out of the
|
||
philosophy department, take a great deal of pleasure in, for reasons I
|
||
can't comprehend. It doesn't convince anyone of anything, once the
|
||
argument has ended and the person realizes he's been the victim of word
|
||
play rather than logic -- and it often ends up leading people into being
|
||
devil's advocates when they see the chance to trap their opponent in
|
||
these shenanigans. This is something I think you are guilty of quite a
|
||
lot.
|
||
|
||
And as a matter of fact, your original question was NOT "what is the
|
||
difference between hunting for fun and factory farming." For one thing,
|
||
factory farming wasn't mentioned until my last message; for another, the
|
||
original issue was the morality involved in sport hunting taken by
|
||
itself, not in comparison with other animal exploitation. If you want
|
||
to modify the issue -- fine.
|
||
|
||
The difference between the two should be patently obvious, as are the
|
||
similarities. Unlike factory farming, the argument that sport hunting
|
||
does have some survival value (i.e., providing food, leaving aside the
|
||
argument of whether that method of obtaining it is necessary) simply
|
||
cannot be made.

The stuff about hamster abuse didn't particularly impress me on Beyond
|
||
Chaos, but here I feel more comfortable asking people -- what the hell
|
||
is so goddamn funny about torturing small, furry animals that compels
|
||
you to have spent the last month talking about it? Yes, I realize all
|
||
the messages are meant as jokes. I'm sure it's also possible to make
|
||
jokes about torturing and killing human beings, but I don't think
|
||
anybody here would be particularly tolerant of "Holocaust Humor." (If
|
||
anyone feels like trying to make an Auschwitz joke in response, I'll
|
||
save myself the trouble and tell you to go to Hell now.)
|
||
|
||
If anyone thinks I'm a "killjoy," so be it. I asked this on BC and
|
||
didn't get any response (at least any that I saw), so I'll propose it
|
||
again. A joke or two is fine, although I might personally feel they're
|
||
in poor taste. But an ongoing joke for over a month on two BBS's that
|
||
concentrates on the joy of killing little animals in creative ways is
|
||
just downright sick. How can any of you (supposedly) rational and
|
||
intelligent people find it this humorous?

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" was their only PG rated film that I
|
||
saw on the video racks. Plus, I don't think they hacked it up that bad.
|
||
For one thing, Ch. 28 was working from an actual print of the film
|
||
(usually a good sign in having a complete film, but not a good one for
|
||
transfer quality) and for another thing, they kept running "mature
|
||
subject matter" warnings. I once saw "1941" on WGN from Chicago, and
|
||
they "silenced" out a lot of "shit"s and left in a lot of "goddamns"
|
||
(which I usually find are BIG taboos on the networks)... You can get
|
||
away with a lot more at 1 AM.
|
||
|
||
Speaking of this Monty Python stuff, I have a film I bet you haven't
|
||
seen. Eric Idle did a film in the late '70's for NBC called "The Rutles"
|
||
in which he totally ripped apart the Beatles in a documentary form. It
|
||
ran on TV, but somehow they snuck an "asshole" in there... It has Eric
|
||
Idle, Michael Palin, Neil Innes (who was in "Holy Grail" I believe, and
|
||
who writes some pretty weird songs) and a nice selection of the Saturday
|
||
Night Live original crew. I have loved this film ever since I first saw
|
||
it, and I've got the soundtrack (which was just re-released a few months
|
||
ago) and I finally found a video tape of it, which was on sale at Tracks
|
||
where all the used videos were being sold for $9.95... Besides that, the
|
||
video is out of production. Let me know if you're interested in seeing
|
||
it (or if you have!)

But maybe some sort of standards could be put into action. Something
