Some ethical theories hold that temptation and restraint is more moral and noble than if there is no temptation in the first place (Kantean ethics, I think). But then this assumes the temptation can't be avoided, thus it wouldn't really apply to Millie... and it would be ethical to NOT place oneself in the position of temptation.

In completely unrelated news, I had an ethics midterm today. >_<

I've got a test on city marketing on Monday, and I haven't been able to apply that to an O&M strip, you lucky bastard :x

It helps when you cram over half a dozen ethical models into your brain the night before, pushing everything else out.

I've done that before... only not with ethics... it was more like physics....

Recently I said somewhere that I was "tempted" to cuddle a webcomic character. Then I realized that I may have misused the term. Can you be tempted to do something you literally can't?

Whether or not you're more moral for exercising restraint than for living without temptation, the former is certainly more admirable. Anyway, I like Kant.

I also have a history that lets me relate all too well to Millie's incidental habit. :oops:

I think their fur would be a bit floofier underwater.

Also wetter. And less dry.
