| -CraZed- said: Wow. Well with a thought process such as yours it's very hard to 'debate' as you seem very concrete in your thinking and that is very unfortunate. I think you have a very misinformed concept of the planet you occupy. Its just too bad that the advances in technology allow us to consume so much more bad news than ever before. Bad news and tragedy are reported on because of the very nature that it is unique and not normal. Who wants to sit around talking about boring old every day stuff. At no time in history has there been less disease, hunger, poverty or even death and murder than today. Sure bad news happens and things aren't always rosey but as a point in history the world is a much better place. Which suggest contrary to your assertions that we are indeed learning. Again, it isn't perfect by any means (as we can never be perfect as long as we occupy the tent that is this world) but it is safer. And that IS proved by history and data. Lastly, if dolphins are the measuring stick for what is 'better or good' than perhaps you should run around killing for 'fun' as you put it? I know you wouldn't as I hope you think that would be wrong. But you see dolphins could never make that distinction. |
Guess we've been taught a different lesson in History.
And why shouldn't I? I stand still in my point. Before Kant, no one ever questioned on a philosophical and social level (except maybe perhaps ancient greeks) why killing was "bad".
