Aspects of modern "morals" that don't make sense

RE: Aspects of modern "morals" that don't make sense
I take it you're not a native English speaker, so "obfuscate" means to confuse or deliberately muddle an issue.

I am sad you are so ignorant that you think genetics are the main factor for wealth. Have you ever considered the circumstances people live in can contribute quite significantly?
Think with simplicity, and you will solve the most complex questions in the universe.

Quote:I'm not white, and I generally detest Muslims.

You're white and Muslim.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Slavery is not normal, nor is it legitimate. It goes against even basic moral principles. The only reason it was accepted in the past was because people believed other races to be somehow inferior to their own. This has been demonstrated countless times to not be the case. Whilst there are differences between races, we are all human, and must all be treated in the same way.

Quote:Anti-sexism - Who says it's wrong for a man to hit/physically strike a woman? Who defines this "wrong" beyond what society says? Thinking
I would rather say that it's never right for a man or a woman to hit each other.

Quote:Anti-classism - Look, the poor are where they are for a reason, since they lack the genetics to prosper.
There are a multitude of reasons why the poor are poor. Genetics can be a reason (though not in the sense you put it in), but it is far from the most common reason. Common reasons include environment (i.e. being born into a poor family), skill set (i.e. not having, or not developing any skills that put you above everyone else), or even just dumb luck.

Quote:Which other aspects of modern "morality" do you question?
That women being alone with children, even if the children are not their own, is fine, but when a man does it, it's suspect and even creepy. Not only are not all men pedophiles, but some women are pedophiles too.

That when a wife decides to get a job and the husband stays at home to raise the kid(s), it's weird. It's not. Get over it.

That we're in the 21st century and we're still arguing over gay marriage. It doesn't affect your marriage in any way. Stop being an ass.

That feminists will insist that all sorts of things are discriminatory when they're not, but when a man points out something that is discriminatory towards men, suddenly they are sexist, or a misogynist, or just making stuff up. Newsflash! Discrimination works both ways.

That some people think affirmative action (aka reverse racism / sexism) is a good thing, and should be encouraged.

That people are put in jail for years for committing victimless crimes (i.e. drug use).

I could go on. A lot of things piss me off.

Also, bemoan my contradictory nature if you will. If you presume that humans are never contradictory, then this is your fault. People contradict all the time, and it's seen as normal since we aren't perfect lol...

OK, I'll throw a hint out there for ya... (hint = telling you one of many logical flaws)

You are anything but contradictory. You are one of the most consistent posters I've seen and hardly ever contradict yourself. If it really was your nature, you'd have contradicted yourself by now. Besides, seeing how most threads were started by you, I'd say you were generally contradicting accepted truths, and admitting your contradictory nature makes everyone assume you're lying to attempt to be contradictory while really just being a consistent (fill in the blank here)....

So when you post about how you went the mall and run people over, I see your words as you sit home locked in the basement because your mom grounded you.

If I could trust your response, I'd ask you if you were receiving any type of professional help, either physical or mental?

So if racial differences are proven, then slavery comes back. gotcha!

Who says it's wrong to hit somebody? You?

Look, nothing is truly "moral" or "immoral" in life. get with it.

Er...no. Not what I said at all. Racial differences have been proven, but that doesn't mean people of different races are any less or more human. Slavery is an affront to humanity itself.

I don't think violence solves much. It should be used in self-defense only.
