Lawful Good literally just means "plays by rules" and "tries to do good stuff".

People keep thinking that the alignment system is super specific. It's just a vague description of kind of what your character roughly stands for. Possibly.

Bretty much, lawful good is not the same as lawful kind

My teeth are driving me crazy. @_@ And searching for "retainer teeth hurt" only brings up people who didn't use their retainers for a bit then tried to put it back in. In my case, I've been using the retainers 24/7 and I still have this ticklish pain that makes me want to press on my teeth/clench them, mostly in my molars.

Argh! Just experienced severe self-haircut fail. Well as long as you don't see the back, I think it looks okayish considering it's the first time I've ever cut my hair beyond the basic trim everything off. Dat back of the head though...

I think - well, hope - it'll look decent after it's grown a bit. So as long as I wear a hoodie for a week or so it should be ok. Right? Right?...

youll be a pariah for the rest of your life

Your only solution is to shave your head completely bald.
Including the eyebrows.

Ascend human limitations of hair and make your forehead as shiny as the world first made it

So apparently the practice of banning people from major commercial websites for criticizing the products and practices of the company...

It becoming an increasingly popular practice.

I am just waiting until say... Amazon lets companies pull negative reviews of their product.

please raise awareness, people

Yeah, but "indiscriminate killing" pretty much absolves you from any Good alignment. Especially for Paladins.

But... ain't they discriminating on good vs everything else?

"Good" implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings. Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others.

"Law" implies honor, trustworthiness, obedience to authority, and reliability. On the downside, lawfulness can include close-mindedness, reactionary adherence to tradition, judgmentalness, and a lack of adaptability. Those who consciously promote lawfulness say that only lawful behavior creates a society in which people can depend on each other and make the right decisions in full confidence that others will act as they should.

 A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.

This is why alignment system is a failure - because it uses loaded words that people automatically assume a meaning different from the one intended by the D&D system, and different from each other, so that people can never agree on it.

It sounds like it's pretty discriminate killing being talked about, though. Just mass murder of a specific subgroup (the subgroup in question being "everything not good-aligned"). And D&D/pathfinder/etc. is a setting where genocide and xenocide is often considered an and encouraged as an act of good, so... mass murder is generally not a thing that is considered inherently immoral in these joints.
