How would your character answer these questions?

[nemesis0320]

• Is there a meaning to life? If so, what is it?
  -Life has no meaning, but what we choose to do with our time can give it a purpose.
• What defines art? Or, what is the difference between something that is art and what is not?
  -Art should invoke an emotional response.  Not necessarily the 'intended' emotional response.
• Do you think art is an essential aspect of society? Or do you think it harms society?
  -Art as a whole is a beneficial aspect of society.
• What do you consider to be 'progress', in terms of a society?
  -Progress is made when the people living under that umbrella can come together to view the majorities needs as more important than the individuals.
• Do robots deserve rights?
  -If they have the ability to define themselves as an entity, and they have the ability to make decisions in respect to themselves, they deserve rights.
• Do you genuinely think every one of your beliefs are justified?
  -I think that there are beliefs I (my character?) holds which are not justified, but are strong aspects of themselves.  Example: Justice should be fair and match the crime.
• Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?
  -It absolutely does.
• Why are you deserving of rights? And, who or what else deserves rights as a result?
  --If they have the ability to define themselves as an entity, and they have the ability to make decisions in respect to themselves, they deserve rights.
• When, if ever, is taking a human life justified?
  -Typically whenever it saves other lives.  A life can and should be taken, if that life has ill intentions for others.
• If there were no rules or law to influence your behavior, including societal expectations, how do you think you would behave?
  -Vigilante isn't the word, but great injustices would be met with more punishing and harsh ultimatums than a time out in space jail.
• What's the difference between justice and revenge?
  -Justice innately implies a retribution.  Revenge can be done for both morally just and insidious purposes.
• Is privacy a right or a luxury?
  -It is a right.
• Is morality always subjective or can it be objective? And if it can, when would it be? If not, then whose concept of morality should be agreed as truth? Or is truth irrelevant to morality?
  -Morality is subjective.  Generally, I believe a person can do a 'bad' thing for a 'good' reason though, and vice versa.
• Should there be limitations to the freedom of speech?
  -No limits to freedom of speech, but no limits to persecution over the things said.  You are free to speak your mind, and you are free to suffer the consequences of your speech.
• Which are more important when judging a crime: Intention or outcome?
  -Intention.
• If you could save a life but you don't as doing so would break a law for whatever reason, are you ethically justified in your decision?
  -No.  Of course it varies on the laws, but the thread of society should be able to be removed in the case of preserving life.  What is society for, if not to enhance the lives of those within it?
• What is your definition of evil?
  -Evil is when the needs of the individual triumph over the needs of the group.
