Poll: What stops you from doing "bad" things?

[THEMILKMAN]

Just curious how others think.

I don't like to admit it but although both effect me somewhat, the fear of being caught and punished influences me more.

Edit: "Bad" is in quotation marks because everyone has their own standards of what they believe "bad" is. Whether it's everday things like acting like a dick or bigger things like nuking a town of nuclear apocalypse refugees LOL.

My morals from years in the boy scouts and church

 

[HardRockSamurai]

There's a collar around my neck that gives me a small electric shock whenever I'm thinking bad thoughts.

Somebody help me...

 

[Biosophilogical]

Normally because I don't like consequences. Sometimes I do things that I thought I shouldn't and I'll be like '... huh that wasn't so bad'

 

[Zildjin81]

The restraints. Leather and nylon are pretty tough.

 

[Shadow Law]

Because the world gives you gifts in turn that are better then doing the bad things to begin with.....and I guess it works in real life too.

 

[THEMILKMAN]

Because i have no motivation to? If i dont see a point in it im not going to do it. Simple enough.

Nice answer, didn't think of that one but I mean there had to be at least a couple times where you had to decide if you should do something that was considered "bad", right? Or never? Did you never have to make a moral decision over anything?

 

[zacaron]

hmm, what stops me from doing bad things... the fact that bad is mearly a point of view and has no real applicable meaning unless you want it to

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Mostly the knowledge that it's wrong. That and the thought of how my actions might effect others.

Kill the annoying person and be free of a 5 minute lecture.. or 25 years of getting butt fucked in prison.

That pretty much somes up my moral descisions.

Not impending jail rape = No problems! mind you if we are 15 or so miles in coastal waters... Open season >

That would be why "bad" is in quotation marks, because everyone has their own standards of what they believe "bad" is.

 

[Erana]

Because Its so much more fun to live a life with no regret.

 

[Sassafrass]

The voice in the back of my head.
OR...
Because I can't be bothered really.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

The first two reasons, but leaning towards just because I know it's wrong. Or the last reason (which is probably the most relevant to me). I don't do bad things because I don't want to? I even have a small issue with lying (unless it's to my parents or about something that nobody needs to know)

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

I dont do things because i dont care to put in the effort that the act fully requires

 

[Link Kadeshi]

I had to say other. I'm normally too busy beating small children to do anything bad.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Because in my country the death penalty is applicable.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Boredom really. But also the knowledge that evil fucked up people never get any
