Take a look at either religious threads or at a few of the threads about gay rights. I'm not surprised by these replies ^^

There are a lot of interesting question marks regarding the discussions in this thread though, things like "doing the right thing" and "being a real man".

Right thing (or real man/woman) according to who? And why? Because these things are NOT universal truths. Never have been. There is no oracle to ask, no instruction manual to refer too. These are questions everyone has to answer for themselves.

Some knuckle-draggers in here...

This shit wouldn't fly in any acadmic institution on the entire planet,

yet these blockheads think this is a sufficient response?

Just an FYI when you're wrapping your "point" in 2 insults about intelligence it's probably best to make sure you don't typo something like that.

As for your point tho, some people hold their beliefs so strongly that they can't imagine anything else being true, say there was a thread titled "should I punch babies?" hopefully most of the replies in it would simply be "No" it doesn't need further explanation why people think that, because in their minds it shouldn't require explaning, the same thing is true of those who say that "real men would let the women live" and leave it at that, they might not feel the need to expand on it because it is as basic to them as not punching a baby.

Besides John2290 isn't asking people for a Acadmic style report with examples and references provided, this is an internet forum for knuckle-dragging blockheads!

And that's a fundamental problem that anyone even remotely familiar with philosophical discourse would admonish. The positions one takes for granted as prima facie true are exactly the types of positions which are easily either exploited for personal gain or completely disassembled by extremely basic prodding.

When we're discussing veridical matters, it's not about mere belief but justified belief. Absent an argument in favor of one's opinions, the opinions are not justified and can be completely ignored by anyone and ought be ignored by everyone.

Failure or inability to comprehend the aforementioned simply proves my point. One need only read through the thread to find the bankruptcy involved in the common man's (or woman's) thinking.

Completely devoid of typographical errors simply to annoy you.
