There is no need to attach yourself to anything. If you like being alive and doing stuff, then you already fuck with my moral system and have already attached yourself to the only principles you need to make moral decisions.
If you do not like being alive and able to do stuff then, well, there is no need. -

Originally posted by apt I actually became an egoist just so I could hold an internally consistent position while smugly dismissing all complicated moral philosophy as the intellectual masturbation of ivory tower charlatans and never have to read any of those papers
that's one way to do it I guess, I just don't like myself enough for that -

Originally posted by Captain I'm not arguing for Lanny. I'm arguing for my moral system, which is simply based on logical consistency. Self interest, whatever that may be, seems to be an objective feature of any organism capable of participating in a society.
As soon as you used my in front of "moral system" you defeated your own argument in favor of objectivity. -

Originally posted by Obbe If one person interprets a behavior as moral and another person interprets the same behavior as immoral… to me, that means morality is obviously relative.
i think im beginning to see it now.
all my relatives said that its immoral for me to have had sex with my sister.

no, this is more than just food.
we do kill animals for things other than food, like for their skins.
a few years ago i had actually decided to go gay and not buy and wear anything leather or had animal parts on it. -

2018-07-12 at 7:14 PM UTCIt is difficult to surmount a lot of the barriers to a cruelty-free life, but I'm not rejecting leather because it's easier. Honestly, I have little patience for people who 'would be vegetarian' if it weren't harder. That's the whole point of doing the right thing, you get tested for it.

thats rite.
voting should not only be made extremely difficult, but also extremely painful aswell.
voters should be made to climb 2000 steps of stairs paved with shards of glasses, with their knees to the polling booth.
and they should be branded with the initials of candidates of their choice.
when people have to give that much and be marked for life, they vote carefully. -

You seem to have abandoned any contention for your moral position. -
