Hi, I'm going to leave this thread simple and open. The remembering? I'm talking about what you think should be remembered by your civilization for as long as is possible, through generations, centuries, and eternity - what should be remembered, why?
Morality? What are you views on it? Is it subjective? Mathematical? Is the standard rising or changing at good pace? Is it too slow or too fast? Is it even something that you worry about, and furthermore, do you know people who themselves worry about it?
Living Life, these problems are pretty big, it troubles me that the lack of morality and lack of remembrance for great things (I'm actually unsure what I'm talking about - perhaps that is part of the problem?) is pretty painful, what would moral work do in the long run? Sure, you did the right thing, great job - is it regarded well by your culture, is remembering a thing of the past?
I'd like to hear peoples feedback - I think I'll regret saying that soon enough, but I'd appreciate deep thoughts from people reflecting what I am talking about the most. Thanks guys, peace out.
P.S I'll probably be posting, maybe not a great deal - I don't know, let's see this thread go and find out.
Folks, it's going down the drain. Everywhere you look from sports and the steroids era, to D.C. and figuring out our nation's budget, morality is gone. Either we are looking to boost our stats, or gain more constituents/money, morals have just disappeared. Honestly, I think that in 20-30 years, morals will be not punching the person in front of you in line at the nearest McDonalds. That is how stooped we will become. It's really sad. Just look at the news...

I don't know where you are from, but my friends and I have good morals.

In short everything we possibly can.

I think it's an entirely subjective matter. There are usually at least two forms of morality we deal with. There is your own morality, which is what you personally consider to be right and wrong and there is the groups morality, this is the morality of the community you live in used to create a coherent functioning society. If your personal and group moralities don't match up then we have room for debate by delving into why we think what we think and in that way we can determine which view is really best for the whole.

Well there are 2 main types of morality, consequential and another one. Consequential means an action is judged by the consequences, eg you shoot someone in the arm to stop him killing a group of people. The other one is where actions can be bad no matter the circumstances. Like killing people is ALWAYS wrong. I buy more into consequentialism
On morality I don't think there is anything right or wrong in existence. What difference does it make if every human on earth died? Or every living thing in the universe died? Its just a change of state its like saying water freezing is wrong. You could say only living beings experience pain, but what is pain? Its an electrical pulse sent though the nerves telling us to do something. Its about as wrong as telling your computer to do something.

I'm not talking about individual people. The fact that you and your friends have good morals is great, but-no offense intended-irrelevent in the big picture. Like I said, look at politicians, sports players, really anyone with an iota of power.

Consider how large the population is... Consider what makes a better story on the news...
That in itself will get every crime worth reporting reported.

I agree. But I think the problem comes through that much less than what we'd prefer comes through. :/
we can determine which view is really best for the whole.
Being subjective, in your opinion, what about those who still believe it is wrong?

Well that's more of moral-decision making. What do you think about killing people in self-defense or in a war where your side is certainly right but has avoided going into war?
