   ^this is a good start. I think the artistic value in connection to morality lies on its target audience. A work with high artistic value or one that is aesthetically successful is one like the novel you mention where it basks in immorality and filth but the target audience recognizes this filthy depiction as something to be contemplated rather than imitated. A good "immoral" work will push the preconceptions of the viewer to find common ground with something that is normally unpalatable. A bad "immoral" work will exalt the immorality it describes rather than use it as a platform for greater understanding.
   
   Part of my review revolves around the notion that there is a problem to be solved in this work. That problem being how to get an individual with tastes for the normal to become sympathetic to the cause of the supposed 'rough hero'. We see this in works like Hannibal, Dexter, Breaking Bad, American Psyco or A Clockwork Orange where the protagonist is someone of terrible moral standing in some sense yet we are driven to see their success and are nessecarily driven to revel in the failure of a "good" force be it the FBI, DEA, NYPD or Psychology. From this experience we are better able to understand immoral aspects of the human condition.

   nah

   [INDENT]What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USAand your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.[/INDENT]

   Lanny, having seen the dog's wound it'll probably be fine. No surgery required, just a wound to be kept clean from infection. If it was gonna die it would've already.

   A'ight cunts, listen up. Im writing a paper and I need your perspectives. The paper asks the question "Can a 'rough hero' story be aestetically and artistically valuable?". It must argue or discuss this point from both the moralist and immoralist perspective.
   
   What is the 'rough hero'? Think Hannibal Lecter, Dexter Morgan, Gordon Gekko, the devil in Paradise Lost, Alex in A Clockwork Orange or the guy from The Sopranos. Characters who have unredeemable flaws in character that the audience still roots for. Characters who tend to be sociopaths, selfish, greedy and sometimes dangerous but, because of other qualities such as intelligence, wit, charm or charisma make them someone the audience views as worth rooting for.
   
   Whats a moralist say? Some in the moralist camp say fuck that shit. Fucking degenerate niggas cant be of no artistic value because sympathising with motherfucking bad guys is not cool yo. The argument goes that these types of characters and stories are rape because they elicit unwarranted feelings of admiration or respect for abhorrent characters.
   
   Whats an immoralist say? Boils down to we need these characters because it is only through vice one can know virtue faggot. A well done 'rough hero' such as Hannibal Lecter or Mickey and Mallory from Natural Bork Nillers give us a glimpse into and an understanding of the deep immorality of the human condition and by knowing their stories and considering such an experience we can know what is virtuous or moral that much better or some shit.
   
   
   What do you shitheads think about this shit?

    Only to be sorely disappointed. Posting here would be a waste of your time. I will never read it, I will never respond. How much do you value your time?

    Well, I guess that would explain the shulgin scale.

    There is no such thing, it's a construct used much like the "+++" system to give meaning to an experience, to try to categorize it. It's a stupid way to give definition to an experience, just fuckin' describe it m8.

    
    You're stupid. bundy is described in plateaus because the author of the bundy FAQ was tripping balls. Doesn't categorizing a drug's effect into different levels sound exactly like the sort of thing someone on bundy would do?

    I not sure a dog-sized animal would still be alive 24 hours after a rattlesnake bite. In any case a vet is the obvious move. Do a kickstarter or something, IDK, just killing the poor animal would seem better than back alley untrained dog surgery

    
    Just saying, there's a lot of snakes and spiders which deliver a dry bite or even a low-dose bite. Rattlesnakes will actually do dry or low-dose bites a lot depending on the species, venom is pretty costly to produce for snakes and they tend not to waste it defending themselves from stuff they can't eat. The act of biting itself is usually a good enough deterrent.
    
    (Assuming a low dose bite...) For animals with neurotoxic/hemotoxic venom like most rattlesnakes have, this will usually maybe sometimes turn out okay for the victim, biggest risk here after the symptoms from the initial injection have passed, is infection (and possibly blood clotting but, you know.) Necrotic venom on the other hand, is not so easy to deal with without anti-venom. Shits ugly.
