asy I love youAsyLum said:Your discourse dictates how your morality and ethics come about. Your context is governed by your social conditioning.
Please see that these "global" standards are Western and Eurocentric.
yes, not everyone can be happy.cherryblossom said:yes but the moral standards have a direct influence on the laws.
whoever made those laws would have taken into mind their particular moral standards, ethical standards when drafting them. so are they right, to the exclusion of others?
hmm so as long as the rich westerners are happy everything is all good...:/ it's your opinion, you're allowed to have it...no one agrees with me either I got shot down just then in Pols...jm1234567890 said:yes, not everyone can be happy.
But I tend to think for the world to operate efficently people who are in the minorty should fall in line, in a social sence anyway.
and yes I've been criticised for this view, but i'm not sure how else thing would work well.
I guess I'm thinking of the world as a machine....
I want everyone to be happy, that is what's fundamentally wrong with my thoughts I think....cherryblossom said:hmm so as long as the rich westerners are happy everything is all good...:/ it's your opinion, you're allowed to have it...no one agrees with me either I got shot down just then in Pols...
I don't think it's that they don't want to fall into line. when countries are what, fifty, seventy, even a hundred years behind industrially, they simply cannot adhere to the moral and ethical standards of for example the G8 nations
aw I dont think so. it's not wrong just...impractical. I want everyone to be happy too.jm1234567890 said:I want everyone to be happy, that is what's fundamentally wrong with my thoughts I think....

I don't know what ziff was talking about when he said the gong is full of dumbasses
If people fall in line everyone loses happiness. Have you read Brave New World? There's an example of a "truly happy" society. It's as dystopic as anything can get because there is no free view. Everyone has fallen in line.jm1234567890 said:yes, not everyone can be happy.

Uday commited his fair share of crime, especially against women.transcendent said:You are judging them based on the actions of his father without giving them the benefit of the doubt. If they do commit genecide them any military action would be justified, but then this rationality doesn't penetrate as far into the Bush Administration now does it? America is way too trigger happy.
yes, I know...poloktim said:If people fall in line everyone loses happiness. Have you read Brave New World?
Whether or not democracy works is very subjective. I think it works, but not others. Otherwise we wouldn't have the "Socialist Alliance." *snicker*jm1234567890 said:yes, I know...
I guess you can't engineer society in the way you make machines....
But then, why does democracy work? Isn't the whole idea of that to give everyone a say so that policy decisions can be made to benefit the majority? Where the people who disagree have to just live with it and fall in line?
