说谎是一种习惯，
如果连虚拟世界里，都要用谎言。
那么 现实的 物质的 世界，
面对种种诱惑
又如何诚实呢。

Well said!

Mathematical Proof: "if we are in a virtual world, lying is ok"

Let the statement "The vitual word is real" be A
Let the statement "Lie" be B.

We know that A is false

So.. According to predicate logic,

What is the value of A->B if A is false?



Answer: TRUE.

therefore, it is OKAY to lie in virtual false.

I have proved it. Now you can all go away and rest

No no, I'm talking about right and wrong here. One must agree that lying is morally wrong in order to continue this discussion. The point I want to make is: if it is WRONG (no what, if, buts) to lie in the real world, is it somehow alright to lie in the virtual world?

It is up to you to determine. Remember there is no definitive answer for everything in life. We are only human, and are allowed to make mistakes, and hopefully we can learn from them.

What is true, what is untrue? Who can make the judgement?

虚拟的世界是不存在的
虚拟的是你的思想

That's why it is called "Virtual Reality"

 

[Mitsumi]

The definiation of a lie - 1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
The definition of a something virtual - performing the functions of something that isn't
really there.
If its not really there, is it not false?

I didn't say whether you can or cannot use jacket. I just want to know if you think using jacket is a lie, and back to my original question: is it OK to lie in the virtual world?

既然可以，为什么可以？因为没有规定说不可以，为什么没有规定，因为人没规定，为什么人没规定，因为大部分人认为没什么，没有关系，那大部分人认为没什么，没有关系的事情能叫说谎吗？
如果人与人之间只有赤裸坦诚相见才叫坦白，一丝薄缕那也是谎言了。但这一丝薄缕其实才是对人的最大诱惑，最能让你精神上愉悦的了。撕去他，留下的就是肉体的放纵。我们现在讨论的不是精神吗？那这一丝薄缕还是有必要的，那在薄缕外加上一件马甲，好让你别一下激动过渡血液全上大脑了，也是有必要的。

I though lie means tang3, not jia3 hua4

I think intention is the key here. Why do people lie? What's the need for lying?
Virtual or not, does it make a difference?

OK. Let me try to answer your question accordingly.

For statement purpose:

IF it is WRONG (no what, if, buts) to lie in the real world, THEN it is also WRONG to lie in the virtual world.

To support this statement is that a LIE is a LIE, whether you lie in front of the other party or via internet, telephone, it is still a LIE.

Morally speaking I don’t like the above statement, because life is not always 1+1 = 2. However, I don’t want to go onto this topic; that will just open another can of worm.

So now I answered your question; leave me alone, I will need to eat.

BTW, what is for lunch?
