[QUOTE="Bad Paper, post: 3691839, member: 24674"] examples, please? I'm pretty sure that I can conflate any example of yours into a category of "just damn selfish," so be careful. And yeah, for all your talk of aspiring to be NG, well, that sure sounds like an NG believer. Mouseferatu the Benefactor! Extreme law and extreme chaos enable good and evil to happen (as in the selective enforcement example above, or obviously in the Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law sense). But ya know, the same can be said for extreme Good and extreme Evil. Each can be a wellspring of Law or Chaos. What if you were required by law to submit proof that you brushed your teeth three times daily, flossed once daily, and did eighteen minutes of tongue exercises throughout the day? On the third Thursday of alternate months you must submit--in triplicate--notarized copies of your dental exam results, random samples of expectorated toothpaste foam, and grocery receipts with your toothbrush purchases highlighted in green (not yellow) highlighter. Failure means an intensive two-hour dental exam, cleaning, and dental care training, followed by an essay test. It's for your own Good. Can you honestly say that there is anything Evil about that situation? Because there isn't. Too much law is bad in itself, period. I could try to cook up a too much chaos situation, but since we're all on the inherently chaotic internet, I'm sure we can each come up with our own. [/QUOTE]
