I'll never understand libertarianism.

If what I want to do is impose my will on others, you say it's not allowed, thus imposing your will on me.

Everybody can do whatever they want!*

What if you do something evil to someone accidentally?
I think if you dilute true righteousness and justice down to four major premises, you might be throwing your high degree of accuracy out the window.
And how does this tie in with 'The Source'.

The moral code instructs everybody to defend themselves. Every living being must find a way to stop any wrong that is being perpetrated against him or her, without violating rules #2 and #3 of the code, and thus not hurting the perpetrators.

Accidental wrongs can should be willingly reversed. Full restitution, apology, etc should be given willingly.

It's really concentrating, not diluting, righteousness and justice to their most basic principles, out of which all individual moral questions can be answered.

The Source is everything and everybody, really. This is the same as saying Energy is everything and everybody. This moral code is like the rules of a rather sick game IT plays.






You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

It's just hard to believe that a rational adult would hold and maintain these beliefs.

Unless you're just a POE fucking with us.

And if your are, good job, I bought in.

Then you need to go back and review all that you've said and examine/determine if it comports with reality. I think several here have indicated that your belief is not very realistic.

You are absolutely correct, everybody can do whatever they are able to do, even if it's wrong or unjust. That is exactly why the world we live in is the way it is.

If that's what people want, then that's fine with me. The ideas I'm talking about are only for those who do not want wars, or violence, or sickness, or having to live afraid of getting hurt in any of the many ways people get hurt (the nightly news has plenty of examples), or the ones who do not like being exploited by others, or the ones who generally want peace and a happy life.

The reason for sharing these ideas with the group of people described above is to #1 help them realize they are not getting what they want by living the way they are living and #2 give them a hint as to why they are not getting what they want and what to change to make their predicament change.

RE: The Universal Moral Code
What you've offered here won't do a single thing to stop wars, violence..or...strangest of the bunch..sickness. It also doesn;t demonstrate why anyone sn;t getting what they want by the way they're living, nor does it present a shred of a hint as to what to do to get whatever they want.

Wrong and useless, a dizzying combination.
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 want to point out that if I want to impose my will on you it would be wrong for you to stop me (thus imposing your will on me); and it would be wrong if you do not stop me (for allowing this injustice to happen to you). So we cannot get it right; and therefore we get the wrong results, the ones we prefer not to experience in our lives. Unfortunately this can never change in our society due to our nature.

RE: The Universal Moral Code
That this can never change has nothing to do with our nature or our society, you've made up a batshit moral code in which every condition is a failure condition..-and that's why no one can satisfy it-

Not for any other, actual, reason.
