Morality
RE: Morality
Quote:My definition is a bit more broad as I consider parents who push their kids on other people to raise because they don't want to deal with them . Or parents who use the TV  as a parent are bad parents .

So, would you say that a parent who sends their child to an expensive, highly-rated boarding school is abusive?

My parents should've had a divorce sooner. I told them that at 12. And they only did when I and my sisters were all grown up and independent. It was painful to watch. We knew from tender age it wasn't meant to be so, they did it for us, sure, but they thought we were stupid or not strong enough to handle that.

That was a very interesting video.  However, it failed to address the question:

Why should there be a legal penalty for adultery?

So are Roald Dahl's, that doesn't mean we should accept the existence of a candy factory staffed by orange dwarfs.

RE: Morality
There are countless videos of highly intelligent people having civilized debates about morality.
Im a fan on Sam Harris' thoughts on morality even though I disagree with a lot of it. 
This concept would be alien to the people on this forum. 
The ability to accept and even respect the view of another who doesn't agree with u. It requires maturity and an open mind








Perhaps the all knowing wisdom of the people in this forum can teach these intellects something.
Their intelligence and knowledge is obviously inferior to the people on this forum

I've seen these debates, and found them interesting and thought-provoking.

Why should adultery carry a legal penalty?

1. We have more than hypotheses; we have theories and things which have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

2. Who cares if his books are best sellers? Does the number of sales indicate a book's quality or the accuracy in the information within?

3. If you want to be taken seriously, learn to write sentences like someone who has completed high school.* (That's just some free advice. Do what you will with it.)

*"But so dogmatic u claim his talking out of his ass..." is unacceptable.
