Moral standards

RE: Moral standards
(August 1, 2014 at 3:46 am)GodsRevolt Wrote: The way I understand the bonobo experiments is that when a conflict arises the alphas or dominate members take control of the situation, dole out justice as they see fit, and the rest submit.

This is only keeping order under the might is right rule.

Just so you know, Bonobos are one of the most peaceful apes ever. I don't think they ever actually fight at all. There is no 'might' involved in their morality system. They just have orgies. I can think of a few members who would love that.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
