Moral relativism

[Jerry Mathers]

@Into the Night @IBDaMann
Trying again....

To avoid any {cough} confusion, I am not asking IF you believe female genital mutilation is immoral. I'm asking WHAT IT IS about the act of cutting off a teenage girl's clitoris that makes it immoral.

So saying "Because of my morals." is not an valid answer. It's circular reasoning.

I'm interested in your personal take on it.

do you think it stops them from being whores?

well it won't.

Just wondering how that is relevant to the question of morals?

well its at least an examination of the motivations behind genital mutilation.

and its keeps the thread interesting.

you gotta problem with this side-quest?

and as an interest addendum question:

isnt it also wrong when medical doctors do it for identity reasons?

That question has nothing to do with the question of morality.

morality is behavioral codes that allow people to work with each other instead of against each other.

of course, mar monger divide and conquers hate this truth, and have developed whole religions to pretend its something else.

so smoke on that, hippie.

Makes sense. I think motivation speaks to justification for doing it but not to if its moral or not.

But your opinion that my opinion is not absolute truth is absolutely true right?

It is not merely my opinion that your opinion is not absolute truth.

My goodness you people are fascinating

How many of me did you say there are?

 

[IBDaMann]

Once one of you two answers my question, I will gladly answer all of yours.

You've said that many, many times and I can't recall you ever honestly answering any question of mine. You're a liar, plain and simple.

Right. You mean its an absolute truth that my opinion is not absolute truth.

Show where I made any mention of how many of you there are.

We never see people work against each other do we?

Morality is more than behavioral codes its why we should or shouldnt do X. For you though it sounds like the why is to work with each other instead of against each other which is why we should or shouldnt do X. Again he problem is people work against each other al lthe time and this site is a great example of that. I think the why of morality is soemthing different.

There's only one truth no matter how many have an opinion about it.

Omniscience fallacy. You don't get to speak for everyone.

Paradox. Irrational. You cannot argue both sides of a paradox.

That is exactly what they are.

Your morality is not everyone's morality.

Morals is not a question.

Thread is dead.

Everyone stated their positions There is no discussion taking place.
