ORIGINAL: farglebargle Remember that part about "I know porn when I see it"? Evil works the same way. That part, actually "I know obscenity when I see it", doesn't really work. It's subjective. Where I see art, some see obscenity. Where some see art, I see obscenity. Yes. Moral values *are* relative from person to person, within each person, however consistency is possible. quote:
Is your conception of "evil" really that subjective? It *is* MY conception of evil. quote:
Or is it that you are the only one with the eyes to see what "evil", what it "truly" is? All I've stated are my beliefs, and they *are* strong, in this instance. quote:
Yes, *everyone's* mileage varies, but I think we come back to the "Are there acts which are inherently evil?", and I am in the camp saying, "Yes, and the difference between the Good Guys, and the Bad Guys" is that the "Bad Guys" do the inherently evil acts." I've no problem with you being in that camp. It would help me understand you and what you are saying if you explain your position, however. That's pretty much it. When you do the same shit the Bad Guys do, then you're a Bad Guy, regardless of your rhetoric.
