olp1fan Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) I don't understand the questions or your answers. Yes for moral no for immoral......

msj Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Yes for moral no for immoral...... If you cannot understand that then you did not read my post which confuses me as to why you are here I think there is some confusion as to if you mean, for example, that same sex marriage is moral or not - as in it is morally right or not - versus if it is a moral issue in the first place. I take it that you are asking if these are moral issues in the first place?

He's not asking whether they should be considered as a moral issue or not. Quote

He's not asking whether they should be considered as a moral issue or not. Oh, ok. I guess then it becomes this: if SSM is moral does that mean it is moral as in it should be allowed or it is moral in that it should not be allowed? I presume the former?

It certainly beats human sacrifice. As to seal hunting I'm hoping Saskatchewan bans it soon within its boundaries.2) Incest (consenting adults)Ask the Hapsburgh family3) Human organ salesYes, saves lives.4) Dog/cock fightingCruel and encourages sadism.

Argus Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Is greed moral? What degree of selfishness must you evidence before it becomes greed? If you have a really good job and make a lot of money, and your brother has very little, do you share with him? If not, is that moral?

BubberMiley Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 I'm interested in combining as many as possible at once, like a porno of a same-sex married clone committing adultery with a first cousin while high. And then killing himself. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
