The morality of bio-technology used to improve the human beyond the scope of normal humanity.

If you do not do the job, someone else will. And they might do it more efficiently. And get payed well for doing it. Therefore it is your duty to take...

The message is good though little practiced, but that applies to all religions. Love thy neighbor, as long as he goes to the same church. Unfortunatel...

I am not sure just how opposing this philosophy really is to the present one. I suspect they will actually be going back in time to become what they o...

I would say that you are an organized think. I use different colored pens to denote different reasons for grades I give. Red for crappy work. Blue for...
March 21, 2018 at 03:09
OK, whatever you say.
March 21, 2018 at 03:00
In everyday use, I would quite agree with you. But on a philosophy forum, I don't. And it is not my dictionary by the way, I have no idea who owns it ...
March 21, 2018 at 02:41
I think I see the problem here. Ethics can also be counted in everyday use as a guiding principle as to decide what is good or bad. They are the stand...
March 21, 2018 at 02:21
How do you define ethics? I asked a simple question, how does ethics come into the situation. I am not being pedantic, I am truly interested in what y...
March 21, 2018 at 01:50
Adopting principles or taking them over. Christianity is well know for taking over other ideologies and presenting as if they are their own. How many ...
March 21, 2018 at 01:43
No, ethics is the philosophical study of morality and moral judgement. Tiny difference but not the same as dealing with. OK. My dog cannot move to my ...
March 21, 2018 at 01:32
The key words here are emotions and morality. I still don't understand how ethics comes into the deal. would it be to much to ask for an example? Than...
March 21, 2018 at 00:59
What need could I possibly have to save face? It is not like I am going to run into you or anyone else from here on the street and get embarrassed. Ho...
March 21, 2018 at 00:33
So maybe you could explain how that would work them. Educate me.
March 20, 2018 at 23:58
That is nice to know. Ethics based on emotions are not ethics. Emotions are mostly irrational and very subjective that would render any system based o...

Down in the dumps are we. Cheer up mate, it ain't all bad, or at least it ain't supposed to be. Smile and be happy. :grin:
March 20, 2018 at 01:48
Are you talking about me behind my back? :cool: Birds of a feather and all that I suppose could explain it maybe. A person that discusses from emotion...
March 20, 2018 at 01:46
Bollocks. You, just like me, wanted to know what the hell he was talking about.
March 20, 2018 at 01:41
I spent 4 days thinking about a the perfect answer to that, and then you beat me to it. :lol:
March 20, 2018 at 01:34
That would depend entirely on the quantity and quality of the crap stuff sir. Could I get you anything else?
March 20, 2018 at 01:16
So then, most of the ideas could have been expressed in simple forms? So what was the point of making it so complex that you need a book called Strong...
March 20, 2018 at 01:14
Oh but some of them lasses had good pairs on them, no doubt about it. But any, did you try the test? I wanted to discuss the validity of it with someo...
March 20, 2018 at 00:20
Yes, I guess you are right. It is no different from other books. Goodness gracious, would that not mean that some of the bible might actually be more ...
March 20, 2018 at 00:13
If the truth be known, most.
March 19, 2018 at 23:21
Yes I guess it would, if you are rich enough to be able to. I am not. So I make do. :wink:
March 19, 2018 at 23:19
Typical non adventurous idle minded person. How do you know something is bad until you have tried it? Just because it is the Sun does not mean it has ...
March 19, 2018 at 02:21
I asked if anyone really believed them, I did not say that I did. And anyway, what was your score? Or did you chicken out because it is beneath you to...
March 19, 2018 at 02:07
So now it is indecent to say what you think? I never said that I did not take it seriously, I asked simply why I should do so. I got no answer. Nothin...

I found a statue somewhere in Africa, no idea where I was visiting, called the Fetish Priest. Thought that was kind of funny.
March 19, 2018 at 01:24
And then the churches got hold of them and saw the opportunity to become the bosses in the name of the lord, Amen. On a side and rather irrelevant not...
March 19, 2018 at 01:03
Do you think I should not be allowed to join in the discussion? Do you think that me being quiet will change anything. If you don't agree with me bein...
March 19, 2018 at 00:45
Why should I get serious about it, I don't live there and neither do you for that matter. It makes absolutely no difference to my life what ever happe...
March 19, 2018 at 00:17
You have just got to love street view. Anyone now can say that they have seen so many places. I am adding this one to my list of museums, parks, zoos ...
March 18, 2018 at 23:10
Does the continuity of fake news make it real? While I agree that I exaggerated a bit with the 10 thousand years, the idea is still valid. No one toda...
March 18, 2018 at 23:04
In England maybe it has been so, until recently they are seeing an increase in gun killings. But the main conversation here is about the USA. As you s...
March 18, 2018 at 22:57
When I click on the reference link in the post it took me to the post containing the FBI links. Sorry if there is any confusion about it. I agree that...
March 18, 2018 at 22:51
Or not. I think you missed the point. It is not about anybody's indifference to the cause of death, that has little effect on the fact that they are d...
March 18, 2018 at 19:59
Does anyone really believe that these tests are a sign of knowledge? https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/puzzles/5839128/general-knowledge-drill-quiz/ E...

I would not call it a violent crime if I shot myself. It might be violent, but I do not think killing myself because I want to is a crime. And I would...
March 18, 2018 at 15:34
And who decides what is right and wrong interpretation of the bible and based on what do they decide? No one alive today or even 19 centuries ago had ...
March 18, 2018 at 15:14
But did the Jews actually write it directly from the source they claim or copy it from somewhere else? There are plenty of creation myths about and so...
March 18, 2018 at 14:45
The problem with that is that you have no idea what the original books purpose were. It is fine and dandy to get a good translation of them, but what ...
March 18, 2018 at 01:22
I have never been confused about what is counted as a violent crime, and suicide has never been on that list, no matter how ugly it was. Because I can...

Tomato and mushroom please. :wink:
March 17, 2018 at 02:55
Actually what caught my eye was the numbers, not the percentages. As I said I have no idea how accurate they are, and I did not have any time to check...

Post some pics then. :wink:
