以下是引用仗义执言在2006-5-7 16:24:00的发言: First of all, Such distinction is not the core problem here.
Second of all, you can’t point out that the losers are the majority as the gamble is entirely random.
3rd, if the loser as the the majority can make decision to deprive the winner, the gamble will not take effect at the beginning,since not to have this decision-making should be included in the rule-making at the beginning. Without this core rule, nothing would come of the gamble "rule" , so the gamble will not happen forever.
1st, I can't see why it's not the core problem, since we agree that democracy should be the leading principle. Anyway, we can still discuss it even it's not the core problem.
2nd, random gamble can also produce majority, isn't it? Lottery is a purely random game, yet it's quite esay to distinguish the losers from the winners, and the losers will be the majority. Even the majority of people are not the absolute losers, the may see themselves as relative losers. Ina sports game, no one is absolutely a loser except the bottom one, but the runner-up can also see herself as a loser, compared with the champion, and he can get benefits by depriving the champion with the majority.
3rd, the majority of people may agree not to deprive the winner before the game started, but since inconsistency is unavoidable human weakness, who can promise that the majority wil also respect the rules as long as they find out that the result is bad for them? Suppose that people agree that the winner should not be deprived, but later the majority changed their mind (because they can benefit from such deprivation), should they be condemned? I think so. How do you think?
