Morals

[A random person]

I'm a big fan of honesty, clarity, and empathy. These values, I believe shape my morality.

I'm not big on vengeance though. I see it as a mockery of real justice. There are better ways to make things right.

Thank you. There is no good in punishment in itself, just the deterrence.

I'm not sure how I feel about "The laws must have teeth." I mean, I appreciate the necessity...

But yeah, I agree. Whatever reason a punishment has, it shouldn't just be for the victims to derive joy from another person's suffering. That's just sick.

I mostly go by natural law. You have to respect what a thing does and not do things that contradict its existence. After that, I go by Theology of the Body which can be summed up as comparing our bodies to that of God. As you can guess I'm Catholic.

my code is close to bushido, or the Legion Codex. a warriors code of responsibility and order.

and here is mine. "close to bushido or the legion codex", neither of which you know a fucking thing about. you didn't answer a single charge of my last post, which tells me i am right. i didn't elaborate because i dint feel like writing a two page post about what being a warrior in this modern age means. it involves empathy, clarity, understanding my purpose, and being willing to stand up to people in authority to protect those weaker than me.
and if the fact that people like me have always been the ones who have implemented change while people like you sit and complain about shit, fucking deal with it.

If that were true, I'd sure have to deal with it.

Agreed. The guy is basing his morality on a system that's more than a few centuries old. There's a reason why nobody believes that shit anymore. The only people who bring about change are the ones who think differently. When you adopt a point of view that has already seen its prime and has then become irrelevant, you can no longer bring change - only a recurrence of the past.

Yeah, I hate it when people talk in the theater. To each their own for the rest of them.

Special level of Hell.

My morals are:

1) Don't intoxicate myself

2) Don't engage in senseless or stupid behaviour

3) Don't preach or act superiour to anyone

4) Don't have sex unless its with someone I really like

5) Don't be an ass.

 

[Loop Stricken]

1) Don't intoxicate myself

I used to agree. Then I got drunk.

I've been drunk before. And dealt with drunk people. But that moral also includes drugs and such as well.

Just the "Golden Rule":
Do to others what you want them to do to you.

Gets me by, and if more would live by it, then I think that there would be a whole lot less douchebaggery.

[Loop Stricken]

Ah, Voltaire, he whom I must constantly rail against to suppress my inner machinations of rape and murder.

Truly I live a charmed life.

I hate that rule.

Why not just, "respect other people - or at least pretend to be a reasonable adult"? That'll keep the masochists from whipping me...

Oh ho ho, I see what you did there.

Violence bad, stealing bad, lying bad,

honesty good, compassion good, fairness good.

And there you have it.

I tease. I like these basic values.

Ok, I don't think you understand what Bushido entails.

Bushido means Way of the Warrior, and it has 7 key values:

Righteousness - Leads to the assumption that you are always right.
Courage - Is identical to recklessness.
Benevolence - Good is a point of view.
Respect - This is the only acceptable one.
Honesty - Blunt honest hurts more than helps.
Honour - Reputation, a vain thing to care about.
Loyalty - Following someone else because you can't make decisions.

And I can't find any information on this so called codex.

As for me, life is a game. If I play it well, maybe some God will reward me. If not, I will still have enjoyed my play. Killing, rape, stealing, it's all simple names for things detrimental to society. But in reality, the sole reason we don't all kill each other is because we ourselves fear the consequence.

Anyways, I don't kill because I don't want to die. I don't rape because I don't want to be raped. I don't steal because I don't want be stolen from. If I needed to do it, I would, but I don't do it for my own peace of mind.

Morals...
honesty - a big one.
understanding - a another big one.
generous but not to be taken advantage of- one I am working on that one more
freedom to be free but not to impede on other freedoms.
and to not to resort to things to degrade myself like lying, stealing, and cheating
b/c in the end that makes me weaker.

I don't believe that a societal perception of right and wrong is a good thing. So, short answer, "morals" are just opinions on taboos, boundaries and rights. I don't really have very many "morals" in the sense of right and wrong, but I do believe that being polite and civil is a good thing, as long as the person you are conversing with isn't a douche, in that case, have at 'em.
