Is the world a better place for you having walked upon it? Or did you at least not do anything to make it worse? These are complicated questions.

For example, did those who contributed to the development of the internal combustion engine make the world a better place? I've recently found myself thinking about time and its meaning a lot. Like all those people tailgating and in such a hurry every morning. What is the point? To meet some self-imposed deadline? Why do we rush? Would our lives be better without the man-made, self-imposed, and ultimately meaningless pressures that cause us to do so?

Men specifically should:

-Slow down as we get older
-Discuss important things
-Be better friends
-Share bourbon in some form while doing the above

Which philosophers are those? Name names.

I'll let you know if it ever happens to me.


So you will instead pontificate as though you are right by default and not provide any logical answer because you know there is no correct answer, and that defeats your hypothesis that morality is always black and white, correct?

If you can't answer this question with a correct, black and white, moral answer, then morality is not black and white.

If you are 100% sure the terrorist would let you go, I would give the information. Four lives for certain are a better bet than a 100 potential.

Participating in a thought experiment is a form of gambling. You will not get an answer.

Discussing topics with the closed minded will be left to you today Spiral.

:lol: So now the persecution complex kicks in. No one has taken jabs at religion in this thread, and asking you to explain the things you say is not bashing your religion. You don't get a religious exemption from being asked to explain what you say.

This is what happened in this thread...

So, what is an example of morality not being clear?

I gave you an example of something that seems to have no clear moral decision, and you chose not to explain how it does. You then proceeded to (oddly) list a quote of mine from a thread from who knows when and say that I'm close-minded. Totally normal.
