| User | Toxic_Rayne | | Topic | Morals | | Message | I know that some people are strict when it comes to conventional morals and stuff, but I mean come on! If someone doesn’t live by even one moral, you want to shoot them down in so many ways...rip them apart for what they believe in. Do you know how lame and pathetic that is?
Plus, if morals, values, and opinions don’t change, we’ll be stuck in the same place forever, there would be no rights for women and so many other important things would be lost...
I guess what I’m going on about is...what’s so wrong about being against traditional morals? |

| User | ghostknight | 2006-09-03 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | i think if people stopped worrying about setting limits all the time they’d discover that limits form naturally without much effort. there will always be the abnormals, but most people have enough sense without having to worry about it. |

| User | ghostknight | 2006-09-03 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | sex seems to drive most of the guilt trip mindset. we’re taught to feel ashamed and guilty about being sexual. masturbation should be encouraged, not shunned. at a decent age, sex should be encouraged along with safe practices. the outcome would work so much better than fucking (no pun intended) with people’s heads and trying to scare them into feeling bad about being who they are. |

Considering the failure rate of small businesses these days, there must have been enough support for the stores to stay in business. Maybe even enough to elect new officials. |
| User | joeyalphabet | 2006-08-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I think people can agree on most morals: murder is wrong, hurting children is wrong. Where the disagreements come in is where the issue is not clearly black and white. |
| User | Jeniffer | 2006-08-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Depends on what your view of morals are, and which you are against. I don’t even like to use the word ’morals’ very often because it comes across as self righteous and hoity-toity. I just think people should do what is right and treat each other with kindness; do what God says not just because He says it, although that is reason enough if you don’t like being struck by mighty lightening, but because you recognize it as the right thing to do. Don’t steal, don’t murder, don’t cheat on your husband or wife, don’t worship an idol......I don’t have a problem with nay of these, although I know that plenty do. the bible says that all have sinned. Even if you haven’t done a checklist and discovered that you’ve broken all of the Ten commandments, because of your human nature an heritage to Adam and Eve, we’re all just as good as having broken them all. That is why He went to the cross; you might ask if all our sins are payed for and we are sinful no matter what we do, why bother with morals? The answer to that is several. But one is that we reap what we sow. If acting like a jerk in big ways or small hasn’t come back to bite you in one way or another, it will someday. |

Alcohol is a known deadly substance, be it by slow brain soddening or a quick car crash. |

No more harmful, I guess, than sticking your head in the sand and leaving it for a few decades. mae |
| User | NoMartyr | 2006-08-16 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | You might add to not hurt yourself as well. That covers a lot.
I wouldn’t want to add that in my laws or beleif systems, because people should be allowed to do drugs, especially psychedelics which actually aren’t harmful to you, but I think people should also be allowed to do coke and shit. I might add another law:
No Alcohol. |

| User | NoMartyr | 2006-08-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Depending on what side of the fence you are on, I have a ton of morals or I don’t have any at all. My beleif:
Do what you want but don’t hurt anybody else or threaten to. |
| User | Blue Monk | 2006-08-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Morality covers a lot of territory. I’d have to think that most of what is considered as moral developed in the early stages of civilization when people realized that there are some things that just does not work when people begin to live together and even in close proxmity to each other. How much progress would we have made if you could beat up or kill your neighbor at a whim? Would he then ambush you to get revenge? That’s what we have in current wars as well as past ones.
On a less tragic level, how does a husband or wife feel when a partner wanders off with another? Even if it’s part of the accepted social framework as has been and is the case in some places, I can’t imagine that the one left out would feel too happy about it. Consider what marriage vows say and mean in a Western society.
The ten commandments probably represent the most basic list of morals required for any society to work. Notice that without a belief in God and the conscience He imparts, nothing else works or even matters because "no one’s going to find out," right? God knows!
Luckily:
"To err is human, to forgive divine" - Alexander Pope
Your sins are not larger than God’s grace, however, you may get your hand slapped from time to time.

| User | Jakirina | 2006-08-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | What’s wrong? Tradition.
I do agree that some traditions should be challenged, but others should be left just the way they are for the people which believe in them. There must be some beliefs which are unchanging. Or else there wouldn’t be any and the whole point would be lost. There would be much more turmoil and hatred. |
| User | BusterLILblock | 2006-08-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | umm. well from my point of veiw is that alot of people have it as a tradition and its hard to see it without those traditional morals
but to me i think a moral is something you shouldnt fight over and i havent seen anyone fight because of it. well yeah
peace |
