I’m at my 5 yr old’s coach pitch baseball practice this weekend. There is a 7yr old kid doing great....the father in his early 20s, wearing a gang tilted baseball cap....is sitting right next to me in the stands.
Not once did this young punk acknowledge his son’s fine play. Not once did he even look up and watch one play or drill.
I praised the kid every chance I got, because clearly, he is getting no attention at home with his father.
Sad.
Hey, this is encouraging. It means 3/4 of the responders think morals are something worth having!
Wait for it....
It’s like watching the ancient Roman Empire fall apart at the seams.
That’s because 3/4 of the people know they will do the wrong thing if no one is looking.
People have been complaining about society’s morals for millenia. Read Cicero’s b**ching about Rome’s morals for an example.
Back in grad school, I attended a lecture about prostitution and its affect on both militaries during the War Between the States. It seemed hilarious, until he got to the part where widespread promiscuity combined with a lack of antibiotics resulted in hundreds of thousands of crippled and insane soldiers and working girls. Truly gruesome...and going on everywhere.
History shows people never really change.
I assume the 14% are liberals. Nothing is immoral to them. If it feels good, do it.
Thanks to the relativistic ethics of secular humanism.Paul Kurtz, author of Humanist Manifesto II, states,"the traditional supernaturalistic moral commandments are especially repressive of our human needs. They are immoral insofar as they foster illusions about human destiny and suppress vital inclinations."
The whole point of being progressive is to throw away the concept of morals. Being totally immoral is to be the best you can be.
