Moral relativism

[IBDaMann]

Most evidence is that it is NOT effective.

Incorrect. You are not omniscient, by the way.

 

[IBDaMann]

What is your proof?

Learn the meaning of the word "proof".

 

[Hume]

Initially, yes, then you started rationalizing FGM.

Not true. I cannot stop you from continually lying about this.

Start at the beginning and list off every possible scenario. I will tell you in which ones it will be beneficial and in which ones it will be detrimental.

As far as a child's social and cognitive development is concerned, do you believe that hitting them with boards is beneficial or detrimental?

You said it was immoral because it harms someone. Does it not harm the teenage girls in West Africa?

I agree. No dispute.

Too oversimplified. Everything depends on everything. Start listing.

Why do you care about clitorectomies? Is that really the number one moral issue you are concerned about?

How is it oversimplified? Corporal punishment has consistently been linked to aggression toward others, low self-esteem, depression, criminal behavior later in life and anti-social behavior in geneal, not to mention that it's, again, ADULTS hitting CHILDREN with boards and exposing them to incredible pain and public humiliation.

Does that sound moral?

It's a good example for discussing morality because it's a common practice, involves children and is absolutely terrible.

Where is it a common practice?

Where is it a common practice?

Parts of Africa and the middle east. Why?

 

[Hume]

Parts of Africa and the middle east. Why?

Because I fail to see why it concerns you.

Stupid question.

Corporal punishment has consistently been linked to aggression toward others, low self-esteem, depression, criminal behavior later in life and anti-social behavior in geneal,

Anything can be "linked" to anything else. I can "link" you to a distant galaxy.

not to mention that it's, again, ADULTS hitting CHILDREN with boards

... who find the practice moral because of the positive results without any fabricated "linking".

and exposing them to incredible pain and public humiliation.

Your attempts to hyper-oversimplify are summarily rejected.

Does that sound moral?

Let's see, "linking" combined with gross oversimplification ... and declaring it universal when it isn't ... does not sound moral.

 

[ZenMode]

Because I fail to see why it concerns you.

You shouldn't because I already explained that it's a good example of what we're talking about.

I see. You are concerned with moral actions around the world in every country.

"Finding" an immoral act to be moral doesn't make it moral. It is still adults hitting children with boards.

It's odd that you are debating the morality of adults hitting children with boards, but here we are....

Third time.....

It's a good example when talking about actions that are either moral or immoral.

I understood. You are concerned with morality around the world.
