Could you-all clarify your statements a little further for me, please; specifically, are you saying that morality is different from right-vs.-wrong, and if so, how? #210585 - 04/23/13 02:02 AM Re: bootstrapping quidditas ipsa [Re: Buffalo Shrdlu]   Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 8,961 LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 8,961 Land of the Flat Water The Roman Archbishop of Manila was named Jaime Sin.

You can if you like de-capitalize the word "earth" but when you come down to earth you'll still find "Earth" capitalized by the coterie. But my capitaling was just for kicks. #210613 - 04/24/13 05:21 AM Re: bootstrapping quidditas ipsa [Re: Jackie]   Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,554 jenny jenny veteran jenny jenny   veteran Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,554 Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi Originally Posted By: Jackie Morals are but an aspect of the mechanics of evolution.

Could you-all clarify your statements a little further for me, please; specifically, are you saying that morality is different from right-vs.-wrong, and if so, how? Yes Jackie, morality is different from right and wrong but at the same time they are the same. Both concepts are cultural devises invented to abet the continuance of the breeding group. "Right and wrong" are the parameters of acceptable behavior and "morality" encompasses a subservience to the Cultural norm. #210617 - 04/24/13 10:13 AM Re: bootstrapping quidditas ipsa [Re: Jackie]   Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 BranShea Carpal Tunnel BranShea   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague Could you-all clarify your statements a little further for me, please; specifically, are you saying that morality is different from right-vs.-wrong, and if so, how? Morals is about right-vs-wrong. Only the right-vs-wrong can differ from culture to culture. I was told by a Congolese friend that in the tribe where Mobutu came from, stealing without being caught was a highly esteemed virtue. #210618 - 04/24/13 11:07 AM Re: bootstrapping quidditas ipsa [Re: Jackie]   Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Note also that the God who some claim gave us morality told us to commit genocide just a few chapters after telling us not to kill. #210621 - 04/24/13 05:43 PM Re: bootstrapping quidditas ipsa [Re: jenny jenny]   Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Buffalo Shrdlu   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Vermont Originally Posted By: jenny jenny But my capitaling was just for kicks.
