Adequate to whom? You? You're certainly free to disagree. Certainly convincing enough for me. If stealing is okay then I don't get to bitch when my things are stolen. Same goes for my kids. If you don;t want your things stolen then I'd say that's a pretty compelling explanation as to why it's wrong".
Did you expect me to provide you with an "objective" morality? I've never seen one. Nevertheless, they're adequate to a great many of us, and as a person that does not require morality to be objective and uniformly true for every conceivable person and every conceivable scenario - this doesn't bother me much.
Why do you think that stealing is wrong (if you think that stealing is wrong)?
@Apo, not sure if that was for me, I'm guessing not..since I did mention why we needed them, in my estimation. Just in case, post 12.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
