you call aborting chinese baby girls partially evil? hell no! its BLACK EVIL!

Morals are objective, not based on any social construct. To say that they change according to what society you are in is false. Now I admit that people think differently about morals but that does not make them right. Individual rights must persist through any social construct for it to be morally ...

Well that would be technically correct, since you (me) whomever holds control of the food. Whether or not you're morally responsible for their death depends on a civilized society or not in either cases when it comes to individual rights nope but from a civilized society yep. so like someone said i...

The DIFFERENCE is IF you FORCE them to starve by cutting off EVERY food option available to them in a given enviornment then you are DELIBERATELY causing thus committing Genocide. This is right, but you have to be careful with one option here. What would you say to a person who claims that their on...

If you forcibly starve them, you are committing genocide if they are starving because you essentially ran out of food isn't "direct" genocide its called "carelessness". If you DELIBERATELY starve them... you ARE committing Genocide. Who are you saying this to? If you are saying ...

But when you attempt to extrapolate Objectivism to a society, I just don’t see how anything other than genocide can occur for the needy. Even though it was not specifically in that definition Raaz posted, I think you have to consider genocide as an un-civilized trait. First of, let's be clear on th...

wowzers some twisted minds!

well moral is a big topic it extends to the basics also it also goes along with what society "calls" morally correct.

Well what do you think insurance is? You pay a premium and the insurance company's hope is you won't need a claim and as long as you don't make claims your money keeps coming in like interest (a very big amount) and they keep building their wallet pretty soon someone files a claim its a loss but the...

Well morally obligated to is actually tricky because you're forgetting that many religions come into play and require you to do so. Now if you want to look at the bigger picture and step back before diving into religion and self beliefs beyond religion then no nobody is morally required to help, sha...

Tolthar has some interesting beliefs, I have some questions for him then. Tolthar you are obviously aware of Katrina? Indonesian Tsunami, hurricanes wiping out an entire town to rubble (small towns as a matter of fact in Texas) we're talking about events that have happened in the past 10-15 years. W...

Does a civilized society have a responsibility to the unable? Of course. Huh? Why? By what right? Because we are civilized. If I become unable, I would not expect people to give charity when my life does not effect their's. In fact, I would look down upon them for doing such a thing and probably re...

Wow. You are effectively advocating genocide except your Aryan Race is different. There is a significant difference between somebody being unable to help themselves and somebody being unwilling to help themselves. Does a civilized society have a responsibility to the unable? Of course. Unfortunatel...

I think it would be best to really do some introspection on your feelings for this case. Figure out why you are thinking this way. I personally would not even care if the guy died. I do not know him. I do know that I should NOT be responsible for his well-being. You’ve struck upon the literal inter...

You know most of the members of TTI are not miners. If you wanted to be a member, I hope it was not just to mine with us. If you do decide to reactivate your application, there are also some pointers that some of us can provide that might reduce your risks. Two exhumers is a major hit, and in the s...

You know I don't know of any wars Canada has had, they weren't even in WWII or I? What about Australia? I don't recall them being in WWI or WWII or ever going to war with any major country... though I do recall hearing Australia did go to war with whom I can't remember... just about the whole world ...

Mine works fine in window screen and on screens as well, Trilori. Must be your video card or something. Nope, its one of those CCP F***-ups they are too lazy to even bother fixing, this problem only exists in XP where you can't resize the window screen yourself so evemon "repositions" the...

I have 2 monitors, but I play in full screen mode because the stupid client doesn't work right in windowed mode on XP so I have to run evemon to make it reposition so I can see everything.

Welcome to the forums Berek, from a yank with Scotts and Indian heritage. I hope you do decide to apply to TTI, it would be good to have a local contact for the single malts. Living on the Mexican border I can offer high end Tequilla in exchange. I think right now our aliance is using ventrillo, bu...

The reports have said the maximum penalty is a fine of a few hundred dollars or 3 months in jail. Of course from what they showed on television, it does appear that angry lynch mobs run rampant in the Indian streets. So perhaps Gere’s life would be in jeopardy. As to your second point I think all t...

Sleep, I like sleep except I wished I didn't have to sleep.

So they reversed the abortion decision? I have no idea what thats all about exactly. I've heard about it from time to time. Yes I noticed everytime a justice goes and a new one comes in things really get a chance. If what you say is true 78% of the courts are christians, so are Americans... then all...

You highligt the exact ambiguities I was refering to. US courts rule that you can't have monuments of the 10 commandments ourside of our courthouses but our political leaders ban gay marriage because of their religious beliefs. But the US Courts put it there in the first place... there should be so...

I don't think its run by christian ideals, if it was we wouldn't have problems we have. I agree the colony started with freedom of religion and founded this country on the basis of God (thats what we see on our dollars bills isn't it?). the US Government wasn't supposed to screw around and tear down...
