what are you ethics based on

[justin]

Here's a hint...always include a "none of the above" option.

Are you implying that you follow a different ethical theory or just don't follow ethical theories in general?

What's with the angel face we know that not a trait you possess lol.

My ethics, if they can be called that, are based primarily on empathy with other beings. Whether this is universal, common, or relatively unique I have no idea. I only know that I am 'cursed' with seeing and feeling things from someone else's perspective. Combine that with a genuine desire not to cause deliberate harm and the result is the artist formerly - and currently - known as Stimbo. Clearly I'm going to regard it as the better choice, since it works for me as much as it does everyone with whom I interact.

Note that I used the word 'beings' and not 'people'; that was a deliberate choice, since my empathy tends to extend to non-human animals as well. Though if you're a spider, you'd be far better off nowhere near me.

Haha that reminds me of that commercial where the guy goes to kill a spider and the spider grabs him by the finger and starts throwing him around. Haha but yeah that's good man i believe that falls under teleological. We all use both of them and break both of them just depends on which one would be the best to use on the situation.

deontological or teleological ethic based?
and what makes that a better choice.

What of consequentialism? No virtue ethics?

Personally, I endeavor not to be a cunt. It's worked so far.

That falls under teleological as far as i understand so far. Deontological is duty based ethics and teleological is ends based.
