Originally posted by AL-LADdin Then you probably don't understand how a lottery works.
Let's say a murderer kills someone because they want to ("good" to them), but the concession they make necessarily is that they have no justification if someone else wants to murder them. They have chosen might-makes-right, essentially.
The problem is everyone else has agreed they will give up murder for the right to not be murdered, and now they have a person who does not respect that agreement in their society, and has breached it. So you don't get that protection: they can do whatever they want to you, because everything up to murdering you is less restrictive of your rights.
It is good and bad for the society and generally it's individuals, which is the only context that morality even exists in. That is the difference.
Like I said, I don't consider animals to be worthy of full moral consideration under my system: they don't give a fuck about the social contract, they will kill and eat you regardless of your moral position as a matter of convenience.

Originally posted by AL-LADdin No, I am of the belief that there is only one moral SYSTEM, the network of moral agents.
The logic is simple. Think of a list of things you wouldn't want done to yourself. You cannot do those to other people, because you will have no justification when you say they shouldn't do that. Everyone can independently come to these same conclusions. If you want to murder people, you forfeit your own right to not be murdered. So assuming you don't want to forfeit your right to life and all the liberties it grants, don't murder people.
It doesn't have to be a fundamental law of physics, it's just the meta characterisation of the inevitable result of interactions between self interested agents. I could make a society on this basis from any group of people anywhere. The rationale holds up.
That's up to you.
No.
Sure. But whatever you choose to take as good or bad can be fit into the system.
Exactly.
You can have whatever moral system you want in your head, dog. But however that transpires, it will fit nicely in to the social contract. Or you could leave society I guess.

Originally posted by Misguided Russian I was referred to this attorney by a family friend, who knows. Before this referral I've used one for $350. One of the differences is that the $200 one does only the more populated part of the state (where I live), whereas the $350 one will do any place in the state. They both do the same procedure.
Now you are just making yourself look really stupid. No attorney is going to work multiple, state wide, municipal jurisdictions for non criminal traffic charges. Not even in Rhode Island. Especially for $350 dollars. Your entire post is pure bullshit. -

A word means a specific thing.
Americans have basically turned "Freedom" into a whole document.
A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought.
A word is a speech sound or series of speech sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning usually without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use or a written or printed character or combination of characters representing a spoken word.
But you're just arguing to argue and know how silly your stance really is.
