So you are "telling me how to behave" then? You are trying to "govern" and "guide" me -- "another individual" -- and thus render me "bereft of self-judgment" regarding the Munich tragedy, presumably one of the "horrors of this world" you referred to earlier?
Tell me something Merlin -- where do you get this moral compbutt from, the one which allows you to make individual decisions about right and wrong and takes that liberty away from other individuals?
What moral code do you refer to when judging me and my transgressions? Your individual conscience? That would seem to be the jist of your argument so far. So let me tell you something -- what if I had "an individual conscience" that allowed me to poke fun at the dead? To what moral code would you then refer in order to cast a final verdict on whose conscience was wrong in this case?
I'll leave those questions to you for a while to reflect on.
It's neither racist nor a sweeping generalisation. Bentham and Mill the younger were Englishmen and were the founders and main proponents of Utilitarianism, a philosophy of utility and function that is rules-driven and morality-based, using "the greatest happiness" principle as its compbutt.
Because of the utter stupidity of this philosophy, which founders the minute two people have contradictory points of view, as we have now, I prefer the ontological path, seeking to ground morality in the existence and identity of its origin. The trouble for you is, you have nothing to ground your self-righteousness in once it becomes clear my individual conscience takes a course at odds with yours.
Unless secretly you are abiding by some external moral code which as yet you haven't let us in on.
Yes, but your ability to think correctly remains the question.
Ere Pumparse ... 527My mistake -- what i should have said is that it's a myth that condoms protect against STDs. Yes they protect to some extent against AIDs, although as you...
Thanks for your participation by the way. It's been "funny" watching you inflict and impose your moral centre on another person, which is precisely what you warned me not to do. -- + His Holiness Pope Pompous XVIII
