Greetings all...

Just a quick comment on something I saw. It is impossible to have an unethical ethics system. Even if the ethics require you to violate them, that is still following them. <grins> It is the same way that no part of a constitution can be unconstitutional.

Be well....

In that case, I guess I've been very lucky.  I've been very fortunate to know lifestyle folks who have had the highest moral character.

One thing I do have to say here though.  A person can not be stolen.  If someone is taken away so easily, they really weren't yours to begin with.

First of all I said tried, not succeeded. so your statement is hardly relative. Try reading more closely next time. Second of all, this is a great example of the lack of ethics from people who claim to have them. Rather than acknowledge something was wrong, in this particular example that you responded to going behind others back in an attempt to undermine a relationship, you prefer to simply justify it, and on a misconception no less. Thank you for the prime example of a lack of morals. And the same for you aramis; you claim to have ethics then you support a statment like this.

I disagree, if you define ethical behavior as a balance of costs and benefits - as these are empirically analyzable, it's possible to make objective value assignments as to whether a given behavior or particular aspects of a given moral/ethical system are in fact more, or less ethical.

Morality can be unethical and ethics can be "immoral", but that because morality is more often a mixture of ethics and arbitrary tribal identification strictures, thus, relativistic by definition, since moral systems tend to be culture specific and subjective - ethics are objective and universal.

I read closely enough.
