Re: What is Morality?

And I could talk just as extensively of the evils which have occurred due to Canada's regulation of such things. There are far more factors at play attributing to crime than the mixed economy... Come on you can't say you can talk extensively about the evils of Canada's ills due to having higher gov...

Re: What is Morality?

By mixed economy, I think those of us who believe it us most moral are not necessarily referring to its use currently, as much as its idea of being neither extreme of full capitalist or full socialist. I believe that the government has a place in regulating the economy, but that that place is very ...

CA is right, I was not saying that Communism is the opposite to what the Bible teaches but that killing people unjustly is opposite to what the Bible teaches.

And yeah, unfettered just about anything is going to be bad, and that includes Capitalism.
OK fair enough - I misread it.

Re: What is Morality?

Sounds great, sure. Otherwise known as Communism, and is responsible for about 100 million deaths. Hypocrisy again: Communism deaths (and even your attestation is debatable and proof-less) bad, religiously inspired deaths, glossed over. Your world view is pretty skewed young man. Let's hope univers...

Re: What is Morality?

You also need to draw a distinction between Marxism, Communism, Lenin and Stalinism and don't forget Maoism. Which strain is being referred to here? I would say that the Marxist creed as originally expressed by good old Karl, is an admirable moral stance for organising an economy. We haven't seen a ...

Re: What is Morality?

Not the point I was making, it was the differing treatment of political-economic organisation type and religions. The relevance is the constant (proofless) association of religion and morality. The clear value judgement CF places is very American. The newer angle of tying morality to the most tenuou...

Re: What is Morality?

In my view our moral imperative is to unite the masses of workers, overthrow the exploiters and warmongers, and create a more rational society where resources are allocated based on human need. Sounds great, sure. Otherwise known as Communism, and is responsible for about 100 million deaths. Hypocr...

Re: What is Morality?

and about my question--and I am not positing rights or wrongs in this question--consider it philosophical--about if the religious tend toward absolutism and the non toward relativism? Flash - I like your way of thinking, and vastly higher tolerance bar than mine. I think you are on the right track....

Re: What is Morality?

Hahaha CaptainFritz28 - you are a troll. There are so many holes I could punch through your bullshit. The fact that you have a coupe of cheerleaders doesn't make you right.

Oh and don't bother replying I won't be coming back.

My last word on this: Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Re: What is Morality?

For the record, I am staunchly agnostic, but am married to a devout Catholic. I was schooled at a Methodist (later Uniting) Church school which, to its credit, made Religious Education a real study of world religions which I found fascinating. The responses were pretty much bang on the mark of what ...

Re: What is Morality?

How cringey is this rubbish?

Since when does a discussion regarding morality become a pseudo-intellectual bible study?

Morality stands outside religion - it is not bound to it.

Honestly catching up on this thread made me want to vomit.

BTW Tugster if I can offer some advice - maybe start with a smaller group than 10 to get it off the ground and ensure manageability before expanding scope - cheers

Re: Lord of the Rings RPG

Hey Tugster, Pretty sure I was Imrahil (one of multiple Gondor players), I would be interested to do the whole LOTR thing again, but as you say simplified and streamlined in terms of number of players. Not sure what to make of your new idea - if you do want to get something off the ground I would pr...

Re: Civil Disorder Take-overs

As someone who at least a few times a year misses deadlines for move inputs and CDs - I fully support this, and think it might be as effective in curbing intentional CDs as the RR drop (referring to double bet penalties and so on). I can't think of a way to define what is accidental and what is inte...

Re: The Counting Game

In 1809 the Post Office is created in Australia - run by the convict Isaac Nichols out of his home. Lachlan Macquarie is also appointed Governor of NSW and has orders to reinstate Bligh (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) to his rank.
