attofishpi: Precisely.
Kropotkin - the GENIUS of philosophy thinks a philosophical debate is requred to consider WHY it is unethical to deceive in a philosophical debate (I mean, what a total fuckwit).
..irony?
K: and the 64,000 dollar question is, what ethical standard are we adhering to?
Ethics requires some explanation... which you have given none....
how is one act, accusing one of being a ''pedophile'' unethical?
for all we know, he is a ''pedophile'' and the statement is true......
what ethical standard are you using?
ATTO: Could you provide a list of "ethical standards" for me?
Is having sex with a prepubescent child acceptable to you?
K: and once again, what ethical standards are we using?
that is the question..... the question of ethics and morals
is not so black and white as it seems to be.....
Is ''Murder'' wrong? depends, capitalism punishment is quite
acceptable to people... as is cops killing civilians...
and yet, some call Abortions murder.... and yet happily
allow capital punishment... where is the ethical standards?
In different societies with different ''standards'', sex with a
prepubescent child was social acceptable... the Ancient Greeks
for example.... boys far more than girls, but a child nevertheless.....
and yet, try to separate out the Greeks influence on our society based
on this ''ethical'' standard of sex with boys.....we refuse to accept
any, ANY influences from a society that is about adults having sex
with children..... take that moral stand.... and what is left? not much....
as for me personally, it doesn't matter what I think... I don't set the
ethical standard for a society or state.....
