what are you ethics based on

RE: what are you ethics based on
False dichotomy, much? Sleepy

I have no base ethics. Doesn't mean my judgements are not predictable... but they are subject to the situation as interpreted and are a matter more of taste than they are morals. Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Oh here's to my sweet Satan.
The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan.
He will give those with him 666.
There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.

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.

Tough question. I can say that over a 60 year period, I have been trained and shaped by a number of sources and by important people in my life, as well as coming to term with certain things on my own. But I do not believe that I have a single term for it that will fit.

I have no ethics, it makes eating babies that much easier.

I really have none.

I like a joke, I like to swear, I like to smoke weed, I like freedom of communication, I like to party, I like music, I like the golden rule, I like open relationships, and I like free men of the land.

But society doesn't and I have to adapt to that to get by.

My morals are based on what I wish the world to be.
I take no joy in the suffering of the weak.
Sometimes I enjoy the suffering of those that do.

Quote:Schopenhauer's moral theory proposed that only compassion can drive moral acts. According to Schopenhauer, acts of compassion eye only the good of the object of the acts, that is, they cannot be inspired by either the prospect of personal utility or the feeling of duty.

Pretty much meaning what my heart wants gets balanced against what my stomach and my brain wants in every instance. Often enough it pleases me to please others. I'm definitely no Kantian.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
