at your lack of moral.

You're only saying that because you secretly want to hit on that engaged chick and you feel bad.

Either that, or he really believes that women aren't capable of independent thought

Yeah, I've heard that Norwegian men are a bit behind the times.

Or I might just have a certain amount of respect for her, and a moral telling me it's wrong.

No, but often will power is lacking.

For example, I enjoy going out. I also want to be successful in physics. Now please don't try to convince me to go out when I have a deadline for some project or another. Just because I don't have the will power, doesn't mean that I don't desire to be successful in physics or love physics. Just that I sometimes lack willpower. It doesn't even mean that I won't end up being successful in physics.

This example doesn't work as well now, but a few years ago when I was on the borderline of failing graduate school... it was true and a big deal. And you know what, generally my freinds respected my wishes and didn't try to convince me to go out with them. And I am still doing physics, and will graduate in a year (roughly).

And my example is a whole lot more beneficial then yours of getting the woman to cheat. To have a more negative comparison, we can look at heroin addiction. I know a girl, who had been addicted to heroin but got off. Her dad then gave her some more, and then she was on again.

Social pressure is a real thing. We should be helping people in life, not trying to mess up their lives/plans.

If I really liked a girl, and thought we should be together instead, I would try to break her from her fiance. But I would break her up before doing anything with her. A girl who is just dating a guy, if the guy isn't a freind, is fair game. A married person is off limits.

All of that makes sense, but I think that if a person doesn't love another person enough to be above any and all (alcohol- or drug-free) temptation, s/he shouldn't be getting married.

You should have seen me without one. Now that is scary.

Some photos I took while walking along a beach here, in the middle of winter.




Okay, I left way before sunrise (ye old southern hemisphere ya' know) and tried my hand at some night photography. Make no mistake, I'm still bad at it. But I want to get in practise for this kind of thing for if I get a shot at the southern lights.




This was taken from looking up the beach the tide was way out, the beach was still very wet because it's below zero and the sun isn't up to evaporate the water, so interesting reflection effects... oh yeah the shot is blurry I took some clear ones but the blurry shot I thought just looked nice!




So the sun rise! From up on the dunes. Um I've never tried photographing a sunrise before, maybe because it involves getting up early? Hahah.




I then ran down the beach and got a shot as the sun rose above the line of dunes. The flare effect really fascinates me, especially the upper-right, I wonder if that is a lens effect, or due to reflection/refraction from ice particles in the atmosphere...




Um, it's me!
I accidentally shot myself while trying to do something else. The mighty fine lighting meant it turned out pretty good .




Random Seabird!




It's cold, ya hear?

See, another big beard!

Beautiful beach there, Blake.

Is this a phobia, or paranoia of some sort? Or am I not getting the joke?
