Are people inherently amoral? in General
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, May 19 2005 18:33 Profile #21 Are people born amoral? Yes, they don't know what is right and wrong, nor do babies care. As we get older or behavior becomes a choice rather than instinct. I don't think we are inherently immoral, that is to say it's not part of our nature to harm one another. If a person is angry with another person it's a choice to fight or let it go. That has nothing to do with what we are as a species. Children do start consciously harming one another at a fairly young age, but one could argue that is more who they are, and not a due to them being human. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Are people inherently amoral? in General
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, May 19 2005 14:01 Profile #11 quote: Originally written by Sprung Spring: I think it is how they are brought up. A kid brought up believing that stealing is right, may steal when they grow up. That would be due to the fact that their father/mother whatever may have to steal to survive. Or if a parent swears a lot in front of their kids, its likely that that kid will swear a lot as he gets older. This implies that children can't grow beyond their environment. An example would be a family is very religious and the child decides to be an atheist. Though children are more likely fallow their parent's influence than not, plenty of them choose not to. I think the way they are brought up has a great influence on who they are. If a child was abused or neglected they will be a very different person than a child who is loved a praised. Of course that's not to say that abused children can't grow beyond that environment as well. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, May 19 2005 12:00 Profile #5 Children fighting is natural development. My rat's babies fight a lot when they are young. They rarely cause serious injury, but are constantly biting and hitting, and wrestling with each other. It's just the way the young practice for being adults. Humans still need these instincts to some extent in our society. Bullying is not natural behavior. Children who excessively pick on other children probably have environmental problems. Perhaps their parents were lacking in some way. Edit: To elaborate on spirituality: Avoiding Christianity entirely, and focusing specifically on a belief system with a “creator” or “higher power”. Belief in a higher power imposes concepts of right and wrong. Such as, it is wrong to kill beings the creator made, or it is wrong to take things that aren't yours. Some things are unwritten rules for such people. Many faiths such as Buddhism focus more on personal and world development rather than fearing the creator or hell. They don't harm others because they don't desire to do so, and they want to be better people. Unlike animals humans have the potential to desire to be more than they are, we also have the capacity for compassion for others. These aspects of being human allows for us to be inherently good creatures.

strange question in General
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, May 19 2005 11:17 Profile #2 Communism - Any system of government in which a single, usually totalitarian, party holds power, and the state controls the economy. Socialism - A political theory or system in which the means of production and distribution are controlled by the people and operated according to equity and fairness rather than market principles.

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, May 19 2005 11:10 Profile #2 To ask about morality without any form of leader you must be referring to atheists. Any form of God, or spirituality makes certain behaviors taboo. I don't think it's instinctual for humans to harm each other. We have as much if not more of a capacity to love than hate. Look at babies and very young children as an example of what humans really are. They give back what they receive. Do humans behave badly due to who they are, or is it due to how they were treated throughout their lives? Even animals fight for a dominant. I assume leaderless humans would do the same. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Well, I can only speak for myself in this matter. I have gone out with guys that I was not incredibly attracted to, but they good people.

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, May 19 2005 09:36 Profile #76 If a male were looking for someone who would be defined as “out of their league” it would typically be based on appearance rather than personality. A Barbie doll type girl may be judgmental enough to see herself as better than those around her. A girl who is not as fixated on her appearance and generally kinder person may not be so fast to reject admirers. It becomes “just friends” because women usually going to be more attached to having a good companion than to having a brief lover. I've found that within a certain amount of time things start to go one way or the other as far as friend of boyfriend.

But I guess this coming from someone who remembers the Ikonboard days has no particular meaning whatsoever, (especially since I only have about a hundred and fifty posts spanning a couple of years) Perhaps it's just me; correct me if I'm mistaken. I don't see a newbie with fifty posts calling themselves an oldbie to actually be one. He had been starting multiple spamy topics, and my sarcasm was only to emphasis that someone who is familiar with the community's standards wouldn't do such things. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Along with the image of the baby, it made think of breastfeeding. Far more disturbing concepts than this have been posted by others.
