Know what I've been wondering about. We always hear about the extremes on certain morallity arguements or something somewhat different.
While I am not a pragmatist. I am pretty sure they exist :rofl:
so why don't we hear about pragmatic alternatives?
Take homosexuallity.
You have the christians and such where their scripture instructs them to kill homosexuals. Leviticus 20:13
So you have 1 extreme saying to kill all homosexuals.
Then you have obviously the opposite where you have rights for people.(ya i sit in this group, i just don't care who are gay nor what they do)
but I am wondering why we don't have pragmatic views. Like people who would instead of killing and leaving them be. So the pragmatic alternative being somewhere in between like forcing them all to get a sex change or something.
or with the death penalty. Instead of death. cut off all their limbs. Usually a guy without limbs could never ever do something bad again.(im actually more so in the pragmatic position lol. i find it that if the person did something bad enough to get the death penalty. putting them to death isn't a very good punishment, punishment usually has the factor of suffering in it that makes it bad. but death isn't a punishment. for me if i was going to kill a person and there was the death penalty it wouldn't be as bad as if they were going to make me a very undesirable.)
