HMKpoker, theres two ways to go here. Utilitarian, (the greatest good); or deontology (outcome matters less than the morality of the action itself).

Actually 4 ways to go...

Utilitarian
deontology
virtue-based (should do whatever a person i look up to as a role model would do)
divine belief (should do whatever god says to do)

so your answer to this question depends on which of these you use to frame your ethical/moral belief system. I think also that a utilitarian (greater good) could go both ways on the issue.

yeah but i don't know if those quite hold up to logic as well as the four i mentioned. Personally i think most responses to this thread fell into the Utilitarian/deontological category with a few people going with divine belief.

Unfortunately I don't have nearly as much time to ridicule you. Fortunately the idiocy of your posts stand out on its own.

Ironically, it took you more characters to announce that you don't have time to ridicule me than I used in my latest jab.
