happythoughts 0 #26 April 28, 2004 Quote If you did it, there must have been a justifiable reason given the fact available at the time. Situational ethics. There are no absolutes. There may be no absolutes, but there are f---ed up reasons. I ran into a person in college whose "justification" for stealing was that the victims parents were rich and they hadn't "earned" it. The victims "justification" for pounding them foolish was that stealing was wrong. Whether people think things are wrong or not, they still suffer the consequences of their actions.

Samurai136 0 #27 April 28, 2004 All the justification and posturing for moral 'rightness' is flawed reasoning. There is only behavior. Person A took person B's property with out permission and got 'caught'. Person B beat them up for this behavior. Depending on the facts there could be a good reason for person A's behavior that person B would accept for breaking the social rules about property. Depending on the facts both behaviors can be 'morally right'. Ken"Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chachi 0 #28 April 28, 2004 Well, you could take the approach that some dumb fuck operations guy in my office did not 15 minutes ago, which was to tell me, I told you that yesterday. This is not what happened. Instead of just saying we're crazy here (which we are) and saying can you smooth things over with your customer (which I did) and having some fucking balls to admit he pooched (which I would have understood seeing as we are so busy). Don't blame, lie, try to convince peopel it wasn't your responsibility. If it is be a man (or a women). ~Chachi PS. Look, I got to vent and contribute at the same time. LOL.

happythoughts 0 #31 April 29, 2004 QuoteAll the justification and posturing for moral 'rightness' is flawed reasoning. There is only behavior. Eventually, if the "behavior" screws over enough people, then the people who are worth being around will leave. Then the persons life will suck because they will be around people just like them, people who have no morals. Who wants to hang around televangelists?

tandembrent 0 #32 April 29, 2004 you have to own up to your actions, my experience with quite a few skydivers is that it is always someone elses fault. some of the people in this sport are capable of justifying anything or any action! they are remarkably adept at pretending their actions don't carry lifelong consequences! green grass and high clouds forever~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
