And see, I'd be okay with those two being put in a locked room with an angry bull.  They destroyed someone.

the only flaw i think the golden rule has is that we can all universally agree Charles Manson should be punished greatly for what he did, but adhering to the golden rule should dictate that he should get away scot free, because I don't think I should spend a lifetime in jail. I'm treating Charles Manson in such a way that I certainly wouldn't wanna be treated, but I think everyone can agree this is the "right" line.

I prefer the moral guideline... "treat others how they should be treated."

Is this a moral guideline? To me it says nothing. Surely how people should be treated is subjective. I don't get it can you explain it to me?

There is no objective morality. It is a dynamic paradigm that changes with time and between cultures and people .

There is no objective morality.

So if the Axis had won WW2 and rewritten history, the Holocaust would have been a good, moral act? I think certain things are intrinsically bad, as defined by survival.

I'm pretty sure it's just extrapolated from the "Treat others as you would like to be treated" trying to take into account the objections to that logic. However, yeah, how others "should" be treated is subjective and does vary by time and culture, just like every other societal construct. It's hard to make a single statement account for a moral code without any kind of "but but but what about x!"

Morality isn't objective. There is no end-all, be-all code for judging every situation. Common sense, perspective, and empathy give us our personal sense of morality, which collectively defines societal morality. And if we accept that morality isn't stable, it seems a bit ridiculous to base our own off of one that existed 2000 years ago.

Honestly, if you're an alt, I will leave this site forever. You've disgraced the great traditions of NDS and Haggs.

He's not really an alt per se, just another account of Mosher's.  I don't know why he has it.
