Charles Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 How many of you actually know "right from wrong?" Your parents might say that they've taught you what's right, and wrong. So what are these values? Do they really exist or are they just manifestations of human morals and behavior? I bet that not one of you can easily tell me what right and wrong are.
coolkam007 Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 well any action that could cause another creature harm, would be considered wrong..
Charles Posted November 4, 2001 Author Posted November 4, 2001 Well, that's kind of broad because technically you can cause another creature harm and do a good deed. Anyway, when you steal money you don't cause direct harm to a creature. Isn't that wrong? How about adultry?
Guest Majin Gohan Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 In my opinion there is no right or wrong at all. Anything right to you would be wrong for another which cancels out both right and wrong. It's more of a personal matter on what's right or wrong
coolkam007 Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 what good deed hurts another creature? stealing is wrong, dur :p even if you dont know who you are stealing from you are still causing harm (economically/emotionally) to the person adulty is wrong too.. choosing between right and wrong is based on which morals a person has..
Pave-Low Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 Where stealing is wrong to most, what about steeling money from a rich man to save your baby sister who is dieing of lucemia and you cant afford the medicine? The Rich man doesnt need the moeny, but is it still wrong? or are you just willing to do something wrong? Its mostly a moral thing that varies from people to people. Although some things everyone can pretty much agree on suchs as Murder.
No-Name Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 i no right frum wrong. theres no real way to define it, its just sumthing that one develops or learns. its mostly judgement rathar than an actual "knowing"
Charles Posted November 4, 2001 Author Posted November 4, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by coolkam007 [/i] [B]what good deed hurts another creature?[/B][/QUOTE] Well, the native Americans killed animals to feed and clothe their families. I don't think that that was wrong. They actually worshipped the animals. In fact, if you've ever eaten meat, you'll understand that hurting and killing animals is a way of life.
coolkam007 Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 .. ¬_¬ ok captain literial.. use MEAT as a creature.. thats a tad bit different then i ment.. but i suppose.. i guess my deffinition kinda contradicts itself a bit.. i cant think of a better one at the moment.. but i'll just stick with Right and Wrong is determined by ones morals
Pave-Low Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 Yeah, after all animals are here to feed us. Killing animals for the heck of it is wrong. Just like murdering humans. Everytime an Indian killed an animal, before taking it away he would neel beside it and pray to the gods for it.
Guest Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 Whatever i think is right is wrong for everyone else.
DeathKnight Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 [color=crimson][b][size=1]What's wrong is when we do something... and we feel guilty for it... all things u feel guilty for will 99.9% of the time will be wrong things to do...[/color][/b][/size]

Wong, who wrote that has left to the right which is wrong because left is right....:cross::worried::cross: Hmph.....makes sense to me! If your mother tells you that doing the dishes is right, but at the same time, it's against Bob's religion and offends him......is it right or wrong? Physically, Ethically, or both...? The world may never know.....:drunk:[/COLOR]
Transtic Nerve Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 It's impossible in this world to have a clear and defines deffinition of right and wrong..... the world is run by politics and religion... two things which are totally corrupt....
Lady Macaiodh Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 people confuse morals & ethics... morals are a taught set of rules. ethics stem from the conscience. morals do not determine true right & wrong--they are rules somebody made up. ethics are the only things that can really determine right from wrong. like DK said, you have to go w/ your gut to know if you're doing something wrong or not... usually, if you do someting wrong, you will feel it.
SSJ5 Vegeta Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 I have a question. Is killing one person right if it will save the lives of many more. Say a terrorist plants a deadly virus in an unsuspecting innocent person who is going to enter a building with a lot of people in it and possibly infect and kill everyone in it. Would it be wrong for a police sniper to kill that person? This is a bad example but it's the only one I can think of, I'm sure you can all form theoratic situations in your mind where you might be pressed to have to kill one man to save the lieves of many. Is that right? What about risking your life to save another? Is that right? I think it is because risking your life to save another is the most noble, courageous and un-selfish thing a man can do, putting his life at risk to preserve anothers, and I know I would take a bullet for someone if I had to. However some people may see that as wrong.
Guest Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 [COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][b] I know right from wrong because i was raised that way.... I dont make many mistakes..[/COLOR][/SIZE][/b]

Break Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 [SIZE=1]No-one knows what right and wrong are... like all the wars that are goin on... they are wrong... but to the Government and everyone like that, it is right... so very soon the wrong things will become right...[/SIZE]
mornigndew Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 [color=blue] Sometimes, I confuse between right and wrong. My parents are very strict, and they never believed that they're wrong, and I was raise in a different world, and my believed is different. I just do what I believed it right, I take responsible and don't hurt other people, and just think of the consequence before I act. Honestly, I can't really tell what's right or wrong, thing just don't look the way it is. I just observe around for awhile, before I decide. [/color]
