Hmm, I think I see. But how does it work in practice ? I mean, if it's a decision-making tool for people, it seems pretty unreliable... Morality is basically a system where you can make 'right' decisions and differentiate them from wrong decisions. Working out what's 'right' and what's 'wrong' is a...

Australia, I am laughing at you.

I thought you should know.

Is it even possible to configure an XBox to use a proxy ? Cuz' otherwise I don't see how you're going to go about it without having to resort to complicated and esoteric solutions...

Unhelpful answer :

Rent a server in the US for the amount of time you need your proxy and re-root your traffic through there by using a VPN tunnel or some shit like that.

But I agree that the position is frankly non-sensical. Which is ...

Oh, Oxymoron, sorry... I couldn't stop myself no matter how much I tried No worry, I was almost rolling on the floor when I read your comment. Guess that's what happen when you forget a word or two in your sentences. :lol: TBH I was kinda in a hurry when I posted that and didn't take time to re-rea...

Supposedly he is working with/in a network of like-minded individuals in order to bring about The Revolution, but I don't know what's of it in actuality, or even what are the goals of his "network" once the dust of The Revolution will have settled.

Yeah, that kind of people. Those who have become so entrenched in their beliefs that they literally cannot change their opinions about how they see the world without having to experience a radical change in character.

Morality firewall ! Should the default value be "authorize" or "deny" ?
