What I am posing is that perhaps a government without those rules is one we should strive for. Much as many people believe in divorcing the government...
I do think there are times when moral governments make sense. This is in an entirely homogenous group where everyone has a deeply indoctrinated belief...
I would argue that the examples You do not qualify as moral laws. Perhaps they also happen to be agreed upon by many moral systems, but their existenc...
On second thought, there are cases where it is important to protect non-citizen entities. For example, animals or tourists or anything with emotions. ...
I would say no. Forcing people to be moral (You might argue that's all society does) is not a good way of implementing morality. On a more practical l...
I actually can't because I don't know much about it myself. :P I was just throwing out an idea that makes sense to me, and settles the apparent contra...
The way I see it is that the sentence can't be true or false because, as others mentioned, it doesn't qualify as a proposition. It is similar to the w...
If only the masses could have conversations like these... sigh To me it seems that race is merely an excuse for failing to be introspectively. It seem...
All great points. Especially: Now that You mention it, I absolutely agree. I am not critical of some abstract government having personal information o...
Also, as Hanover stated, everyone that uses Facebook knows that the information is accessible (although not everyone is aware of the specificity of th...
Could You elaborate on this? Is it a nice, rhetorical statement, or is it actually basic and fundamental? What I mean is that the very sane arguments ...
It's a good point, but then again, the Germans didn't have Facebook and they were almost completely successful with technology from 70 years ago...May...
Here's a different but still interesting question: If you were placed in such a situation to do so, how might you convince a killer to stop committing...
This might sound horribly imperialist and not too dissimilar from the Europeans said when they cut up Africa, but, given evidence that a nation, given...
You perfectly hit what I was trying to touch upon and a sense paradox I often find in political persuasions. It leads me to be increasingly convinced ...
If that is really the case, then why is there a noticeable, at the least, number of pro-lifers out there? There are religious institutions and such th...
So it is a proper noun in a sense? Nonetheless, when I say You, I am talking explicitly to You (Doesn't it make You feel just a little bit special?). ...
I think that there is an important distinction to make in this discussion, just for clarification purposes. I think that really 2 questions about hero...
Just throwing this out to the community: am I doing this forum right? I feel like every person that takes the time to read and answer my post deserves...
Your second post is beautifully explained and reasoned. What obliges us (which I'm assuming implies "us humans")? Or do You mean "us philosophically-i...
Yes To You it is. To them, the are right and You're demented. I am entirely willing to admit that good is a manmade invention, but not that it is subj...
Absolutely. This is why I mentioned that I fully consider myself Jewish despite believing that none of my actions have any kind of a predictable heave...
As a fairly knowledgeable Jew, I'd say You're just about right in Your description of motivators. I know You said You don't know what to make of that,...
By "divine force" I mean anything mystical that anyone might worship, which the person worshipping believes to be supernatural and have some kind of w...
