Morality or Survivability?

[Eddo36]

Just a question, please explain.

[Krookie]

What is this threads purpose?

[Llyranor]

No, Krookie, what is YOUR purpose? Morality or Survivability?

[Krookie]

My purpose is to find and secure the safety of one John Connor.

[Rosbjerg]

Since survival isn't much of an issue in modern society I would say morality.. I don't really worry about if I'm going to live through the day, but I do worry if my morality takes a hit, from time to time.. there are alot of temptations out through that door!

[Draken]

I'd just like to point out that Krookie has been pretty clever and witty of late. I mean, more so than usual.

 

Good show, lad.

[Darque]

Survival.

[Hurlshort]

I'm taking this question as a kind of "Would you risk your life for the right cause." For example, if a guy runs into a building and starts shooting, and you happen to be close, do you go for the tackle or do you run for your life?

 

I hope I'd have the courage to try and take the gunman out. I'd rather die trying than live with the idea I could have saved someone's life.

[Darque]

Oh, it's that kind of question?

 

I took it more as a "Would you shoot someone if your life depended on it." kinda thing.

[Hurlshort]

The trouble is that morality has many different interpretations, whereas survival is very cut and dry.

I thought both poll options actually meant "Hi, I'm Eddo."

Right right.

 

It's kind of nerdularly humorous that Thomas Hobbes equated morality with survival. So can I choose both?

Yes.

Dammit! That was going to be my nerdy answer.

 

If I had to choose I _say_ morals, but from past experience I know it is survivability. On the other hand I think morals should eb more important. I mean yo have GOT to die, but you don't have to die immoral.

Survival. :'(

[Dark_Raven]

Morals?

[Enoch]

Where's the option for "Gluttony and Lust?"

[Sand]

Morality means nothing if one does not survive to like a moral life. Survival is meaningless and empty if one does not use a moral compass to guide him or herself in order to make decisions. I choose both.

[Gfted1]

IMO, morality exists right up until push comes to shove. Then, quite naturally, survival takes over and people will do whatever it takes to ensure their own.

[Kaftan Barlast]

Im actually a very moral man, Ive read my Kant and Schopenhauer and was raised on secular humanism. Despite that, people automaticly assume Im a wicked person.

 

 

Copyright violations is one thing, but Im otherwise completely ethical "
