On The Possibility of Objective Morality in General
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Sunday, March 27 2005 17:29 Profile #20 Good is a modern notion. Pleasing the Gods may bring rain, food, or prosperity. They would bring fertility and happiness. To the ancients these things are what we call good. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

On The Possibility of Objective Morality in General
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Sunday, March 27 2005 16:40 Profile #13 People don't want to feel bad, and when people do things they know are they are wrong they generally feel bad. There is always that desire to do what makes one feel good even if it means being briefly looked down on by others. Denial of ones actions would simply be an act of shame. Or maybe they really feel like they did nothing wrong.

Don't forget... quote: And another one of my own: They say I am only in your thoughts. No one can truly contemplate me. They say I don't exsist. But when I do, I could destroy everything that exsists. This could be very hard or very easy. God fits -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Sunday, March 27 2005 16:13 Profile #9 Part of the action of helping others is instinctually driven. That is fight or flight mechanism. If someone saw someone else being harmed they would either go and help them, or have fear and run. This is not necessarily wrong doing. My apologies for that being a slight variation from what was said above. If someone saw a person being harmed and for no other reason than not wanting to get involved that may be seen as wrong doing. That may also not be the case. Suppose the person had family at home, or other greatly depended on this person's assistance. The only way I see wrong doing in this situation is if the person felt pleasure because the other person was being harmed. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Perhaps in killing someone it would cause however many people cared for that person would suffer. As well as causing a state of fear in those who live near where the killing to place. Right and wrong are more commonly defined by the general well being of the masses. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Sunday, March 27 2005 14:01 Profile #192 quote: So, with that you mean the humans are not superior... The animals are the ones inferior...? You're not being coherent here. Please don't put words in my mouth. Unless that is what I directly said it is not what I meant. I said earlier and will say again “I see animals as equal to humans.” This comment refers to consciousness not technological capabilities. quote: So, it's illegal "to beat my pets", but shouldn't be illegal to "KILL my baby"? Again I refer you to the comment about consciousness. Also it is technically an “embryo”, a baby is after birth. quote: Those are the exceptions that confirm the rule. Anyway, we are talking about human potential. He can use it to do good or evil. But only he has the notion of good and evil. Animal don't have the same potential nor have that notion. The best human is far superior than the best animal. Good and Evil is a religious implication, and is simply a superiorety complex. Atheists don't believe in “good and evil”, are they animals to you. quote: I defend pro-life, even if I can't adopt children True, but you don't have an alterative source of care for them. I feel I have answered your questions sufficiently, and what I have not commented in-depth on others have. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00
New Abortion Laws in General
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Sunday, March 27 2005 13:16 Profile #174 Overwhelming- Arguably plants do hold some sort of feeling and reaction to stimuli. No creature could survive without eating another. Relatively speaking cows, chickens, and fish are lower on the evolutionary chain. If a person tried to kill your dog this would not bother you? After all it's just a dog to you, and they are a human. True by societies standards a human holds more value than a dog. This dose not mean that dogs don't have feelings or sensations similar to humans. It is illegal to beat your pets, and people do go to jail for doing that. True we as a species have far greater mental capacity than that of most other creatures. This does not make you better than them. I could argue that there are some humans that not only are less intelligent than some animals, but the also behave much worse towards each other. My answer to your comment on a child being was molested was not fully answered because a born child (or animal) being abused is torture. We are talking in circles about the issue of conciseness, so it is a waste of time to talk about it over and over. Your reaction to my comment about rape shows complete lack of sensitivity to women, and it was quite an ignorant statement.

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Sunday, March 27 2005 08:46 Profile #160 Overwhelming- quote: Then I guess you concept of human life is somewhat limited. Hey, even animals have thoughts and feelings. quote: Most animals, specially mammals, have heartbeat, brain waves and reaction to stimuli. Are you saying there's no scientific way to differenciate humans from animals? Then why not let someone rape and kill you? We're just animals. In case you didn't figure out from my comments I see human life as equal to that of animals. Humans are animals. We are flesh and blood just as they are. It is human arrogance that places us above them. I am Taoist and somewhat follow Buddhism, look it up. I do eat meat, but no intelligent animals. I do not eat pork, as pigs are intelligent. That would apply to any animal such as dogs, cats, rats, and before you say it humans. You never did say if you eat animals. quote: Sure, it's a better care to murder the preborn baby. sigh I repeat: if you see your neighbour molesting a child, would you do nothing, because you couldn't adopt that child? Your argument has nothing to do with the abortion issue. A child being molested is hardly an appropriate comparison. quote: Somewhere you say you want to have children someday. How will you explain to your son that, if he had appeared at the wrong time, you would have killed him? Maybe: "Hey, cheer up! I would have had killed you when you were not a human being! You would have been just a blob of cells or an embryo!" As I also stated earlier I would never get an abortion unless it was completely necessary for my survival. I as a woman want to have the right to do so if need be. If I were raped (be in forcefully or in spirit) I don't think I would be okay with having the essence of someone who harmed me growing inside me. I would than look at the child thereafter and pray I don't see his face in my baby's eyes. Other women have a need for abortions for several reasons, and they should have the right to do so. Suicide is also technically illegal, has that put an end to it? Also I agree that labeling abortion as murder in a debate comes off as hostile. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00
