oooh we have an edgy boi here
Death is different from murder.
How?
Results are the same
They die
An average death isn't at the hands of another person.
The only real difference is the moral views that we shouldn't kill
And?
Lizard are you some kind of space alien with no concept of human ethics?
I believe in ethics
Just not many
And only ones made by me
No societal ethics
why not, death is quick and final
The thought of one person ending the life of another sickens me.
no criminal ever put to death reoffended,fact
and no person wrongfully convicted put to death came back to life, fact
@Crafty Nihilism is the only philosophy that actually believes in freedom of the individual
think of how much taxpayers cash is saved
Nihilism says to create you own morals
Revaluate all values
Only base morals on modern reality
i agree with that crafty, thats where the line lies for me, not in actually disposing of someone, but making sure its the right person to die
1 person dies every second
I simply cannot grasp why anyone would care about one life
However with a society with laws, those laws must be built on a societal ethic
and as we live in a society, we have to determine what we believe to be ethically sound
Humans are not crazy beings, We won't go around killing each other if we don't have societal ethics
plenty of murderers in the world that combat your point
We can easily perceive what helps society and act accordingly without morality
helping society is part of someones morality
and I was distinguishing ethics from someones personal morality
though they are linked
Making sure society survives is not based on morality, It is based on the belief of self preservation
same as 'gang member's they only try and rule little gangs through fear, lock them up in a public places and ridcule them, make everyone see who pathetic they are, shame has a lot of power
'survives' is a very broad term
If we go around killing each other society won't last very long
If we don't do that it will last longer
However the view that killing is wrong is based in ethics and upheld with laws
