I have a stupid question. Why are you so stupid? :-p

Work ethic doesn't necessarily make one good or evil. However, laziness can breed socio-economic conditions conducive to certain concepts of "evil". On the other hand, hard working people are admired for their virtue. A society that has no work ethic is a society that is on the verge of...

I believe the human race will find common ground, in terms of some ethics, some day. However, it isn't ideology we fight over most, it is economic interests. Thusly, a world united by economy is one with common values. Globalization is becoming ever more prevalant, fast mass communication and...

Dlan: 'Parsimonious metaphors' I have no doubt the human race will one day be able to agree on certain ethics. However, in the human world, most of existence is subjective. Since every individual is unique and there will always be different ideas on what is correct, I'm not sure if philosophy...

Dlan, your bombastic post failed to answer the thread topic question. What is "good and evil"? In all its verboseness, it failed to even answer its own question. I shall try to rectify this with a worthy response. Good and evil is really all about opinion. However, there are some basic...

Aside from the semantics involving the definition of good and bad people, I would say that not necessarily. Being lazy does not denote one being a bad person as well as being hard working does not necessarily denote one being good.

There is a difference between standing up for what is right to conform with morality and standing up for what's right, for the wrong reasons. I believe "right" for whatever subjective worth it has, has a true value. If you do not do the "right" thing for the "right" reasons, it ceases to be...

Unless there is an absolute truth on conduct, ethics and morality, good and evil is purely subjective. Thus, uniform concepts of good and evil, a relative sense of absoluteness, are limited to certain cultural groups or person(s). In other words, good and evil cannot be defined universally, only...

Life has a will to exist because the other life that didn't have a will to exist died out. The more appropriate question to ask is, why are we here? Why does the Universe exist? What is the purpose of life? As we progress on such a line of thought, the questions only become more numerous and...

In response to the first post: Dictionary.com says that right is: Conforming with or conformable to justice, law, or morality. Thus if you do something with the intent of conforming with whatever is generally accepted as right, your action(s) is right. If you do the right thing for the...

Enquiries into the existence of existence belong in the field of ontology and in this forum. So I will try to illuminate. There are two aspects to existence. The subjective and the physical (some people can't agree on which is real). The atheist ignores the spiritual and focuses on the...

Theft has been with humans since the earliest times. Technology will change the economy. It always has and it always will. However, we can't disregard the musicians rights. If they don't want their music stolen then how can you justify stealing it? I admit, you can't control something this...

A clarifying point. History will decide which nation was more compassionate. I'm of the opinion that the U.S. will inevitably be viewed like the Romans. It is fitting because our constitution was largely built around the mistakes of the Romans. Anyways, like the Romans the United States has...

Bleh, new post. What we should be asking ourselves is What kind of society can we set up that is built around morals, inalienable individual rights, and the pursuit of happiness? Oh yeah, let's not forget, humans have instinct. If you are building a state don't forget that we are subject...
