I agree also, as @mriana had mentioned about humans “mating” with gorillas or chimpanzees …

They would not have offspring. In spite of being 98% related, Humans have 23 pr chromosomes (46) and all other hominids 24 pr (48).

The chromosomes would not match up to produce viable offspring, or the offspring would be sterile.

I smile to you Mriana, i understand what you are telling.

Thank you.

Have you such laws in USA?

The closest thing we have is “it’s unlawful to discriminate on the bases of race, creed, colour, gender, religion, disability” I think those are all the minorities covered. However, if anyone violates it, nothing is done. Years ago,…[Read more]

OK – I think @CitizensChallengev3 is trying to speak to us from the beyond.

I’ve seen a few threads that looks like he’s responded, but I click and the latest one is not from him.

Including this one.

I wasn’t sure if it was just me … but seeing “a sign” in this thread, I think it may be more widespread.

Race is a social construct, without a biological basis:

I agree also, as @mriana had mentioned about humans “mating” with gorillas or chimpanzees …

Or to take it in another direction – and I mean no disrespect to anyone – it’s just an analogy:

Race as another name for Breed? as we use the term with dogs.

A breed has various characteristics. …[Read more]

“Treat others how you want to be treated”
This is seen as the golden rule, and it is most of the time. -morgan

I think this is a adequate rule of the thumb, like you shown can it be vague. The more precise of an action the ethic has to describe/guide the more difficulty it gets to define it. Thats why I prefer to leave the ethical definition in a…[Read more]

@Mriana Indeed that generally is was would and did happen. In the case of having some crazy evil “genius” overtake the country there are three main options to choose from. Jump on the train, dodge the train, get under the train. From every of those stanpoints is a unique possibility to stop/sabutage the train or pushing it on.

About that dotard…[Read more]

@didiruis

This is includet and ment by my second point below: “Apropriate preventive measures … ”

Not the way I understood it as written and it doesn’t answer the altruism question. Something tells me there is a communication issue here.

I don’t think facing reality as it is, has something to do with fate.

Your replies do not lead me to conc…[Read more]

@mriana

Maybe, but wouldn’t you want such a person off the street so that he doesn’t do it again to someone else or do you have no altruism at all?

This is includet and ment by my second point below: “Apropriate preventive measures … ”

So you believe in fate?

@didirius

Once upon a time, I asked myself the question: “Why is something (like killing/murder) right or wrong?”. Till this day I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I don’t consider any action strictly right nor wrong, good/bad; adequate or not, yes of course; but not right or wrong.

So you think murdering another human being is alright…[Read more]

I think the matter of right and wrong depends on what we are talking about.

What are we talking about? I agree so far, in social norms, ethics, morals, laws… exists appropriate/disappropriate behaviour/actions, because these structures implicate an equivalent framework. Outside of them, there is no framework anymore. What makes these actions, in…[Read more]

” @mriana,    Don’t you mean “what is god?” ”
Doesn’t make near a good a title.

Actually now that I’m thinking about it, perhaps I should have asked,

Where does “God” come from?

To me it seems, that the knowlegde what god is could help finding the answer to “Where does “God” come from?”.

My answer, at least to the “what” question is split i…[Read more]

Many formats of government and economies look good on paper.  But just add humans, and it all goes down hill from there.

Primarily as @mriana said:  “Greed” for either power or money.

Thanks, @mriana! I’m still not even sure why he decided to post in my thread to begin with.

You’re welcome and I’m not sure either, except he’s been a problem and to me that post about the war was not only harassment, but xenophobia or racism and members on this forum, who have been here a while, know how I feel about those things.
