@r505Matt: Actually i tried to provide a practical example. Zumba, aerobics or gym 1-2 times a week is what lots of people do when trying to keep in shape, while you easilly play Wii Fit 4-5 times a week, because you don't have to leave home.
In terms of time investment, with aerobics you'd need to factor in the time it takes to travel, change clothes back and forth. If you spend 20-30 minutes on top of each 45 minutes class, the efficiency per unit of time invested drops drastically.
In the real world there are variables.
Ethics isn't "what should be done", but "what is done". For example, you don't buy products made with child labour, except when Nike shoes are on sale.
Which one speaks more about your ethics, your words or your actions.
It's always easy to say "should", when the "should" have really nothing to do with you.
In a todays western society it's easy to have lots of "shoulds" when you don't have to fight for your survival. If a society with lots of "shoulds" comes crashing down and people face real problems, it's a moment where the ethics are really measured.
Or think about the burka bans we are likely to see in Belgium and France. The people who shout out loud for equivality, oppose the said bans for peoples right to wear them. When the question is the rights of these people to not to wear it "we want everyone to be equal - except...".
