Morals

[andrewducker]

Following on from Allorin's post here, I'm intrigued as to whether peopel think that morals are principles that can be applied to situations or are situational (but you can generalise into principles) or something else...

Just a handy way of saying "the majority of people are dumb as sticks, possibly dumber"

An exceptionally true statement and the primary reason that I distrust democracy. Most people believe the obvious lies that politicians tell them, and then in the next election they either believe the same (now even more obvious) lies or they believe the other politician's equally transparent lies - it's completely pathetic. I've seen polls that boil down to the fact that many people support Bush because he talks tough and that makes them feel good about themselves and the US and that many people voted for Ronald Reagan because he had an honest face. We desperately need to start engineering our species for increased intelligence and then educating most people so that they can actually think.
