do you need rules to tell you what the right thing is?

Or do you know how to do the right thing just because it's the right thing to do?

Well i have morals, which are kinda like internal imperative rules ..so i suppose so🤷‍♀️

But in saying that, sometimes circumstances can get complicated.... So sometimes rules need to be broken for the greater good.

@OogieBoogie Josef Mengele would have absolutely agreed

@OogieBoogie its a logical extension of the position you suggested. I didnt suggest any correlation between actions you would undertake, simply that the position you suggest adopting can be used to justify appalling actions. Remember, Mengele's "freezing experiments" were intended to save the lives of German airmen who crashed in the Atlantic.

@OogieBoogie and resulting to personal insults in response to reasoned argument suggests much more about the assailant than recipient. Who's the twat now? 🙄
@Joshlost there is no correlation.
He had no morals .

Read before you try to justify using logic .
@Joshlost trying to be a smart ass when your logic is fallible makes you a fool and showing you up for being a hack ass troll is fine by me .

Go ahead, push it further , show us just how commited you are to looking like an idiot😏
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie he had morals, just not yours. I'm not saying anything he did was right, but his experimentation aligned with a belief that anything was justified in the pursuit of a. Scientific advances and b. The preservation of Arian life.
That is a moral code, just not yours. I read before i used logic. Did you use logic (or any reasoning, dispassionate thought) before you wrote?
Always keep you emotions out of moral discourse. Ethics 101
@OogieBoogie and as to assailant, that's you , you insinuated insult first.
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie please demonstrate, using the tools of logical discourse, the fallibility of my logic. I can wait a couple of weeks while you learn what those words mean 😀
@Joshlost ohhh , we're goinf to use pedantic definitions of morals to defend our argument are we?

You knew what i meant. Context baby .
Dont pull that with me .

You're bored , you think ur clever , and to pass time ur gonna bait people coz this is gonna be the highlight of your achievement for today 😂
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie no insinuation in anything i wrote tonight. My comments have all been open and direct. You do know the meaning of all the words you're struggling to use?
@Joshlost go polish your dorky shades man , i dont need to do squat for you .

Im not the socially inept dick who thinks hes ALL that and a packet of chips and needs to prove it for his own ego.
@Joshlost yes insinuation .
You're so up your own intellectual little ego ur in emotional denial becuase you can't handle being wrong .
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie ah I see. No intelligent response so now on to childish insults. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have engaged in dispute with someone who clearly struggled with primary school reasoning. I'm sure there's something on nickelodeon that will be at your level 😘
@Joshlost But i must Thankyou , now youve shown ur MO for all to see, eveyone else can see what a dick u are .🤗

Good show ol' chap 👍
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie can you demonstrate, through means other than insult or self-validated assertion, that I'm wrong?
@Joshlost oooh....look whos getting a little pissy now🤣
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie Do demonstrate how, please, help a far inferior person like me understand the majesty of your intellect
Joshlost · M
@Joshlost yes.
By my words
My character
My history here
And i can even get character references if i wanted 😜

Im not the dick here.
Im not tje one coming in , picking on someone , and relating them to a horror of a man from history .

You insulted me .
And you know it.

You just wanna go on some argument of logic so you can pat ur own ego .

But I dont have to prove anything to you.

And im not the one people are gonna see is the self important prick here.

If this is how you make friends....its gonna get lonely for ya,....js
Joshlost · M
@OogieBoogie You joined an intelligent discourse, I made an analogous argument , admittedly using the most extreme anaolgy which is a common rhetorical device, and you reacted in an emotional and immature way. You insulted me, i responded dispassionately and with reasoned arguments. If you think you have presented as superior in some way, and others agree with you, and believe me to be a 'dick' then that fine by me. Contrary to your superficial assessment of my character I'm happy to be belittled and misunderstood when simply probing for truth and understanding. Read my comments carefully, I think you'll find no assessment of your character;notwithstanding a withering assessment of your (lack of) intelligent reasoning, which is an entirely separate judgement from any view on your human decency, which I have neither formed nor expressed
@Joshlost ohhh, are we trying desperately to prove to ourselves that we dont need to be accountable for our own actions are we?

Awe honey.... seems you needs a little growin' up to do .

Academic intelligence is only one aspect of smarts. It don't make you automatically right , no matter how much you wanna reason it .

You have proved who you are, and how you deal with making dick ass comments without thinking .


By all means continue . Met ur type before , know where your head is at, and can tell you your future here if you keep it up:

Youre gonna piss people off, make a few like minded friends....who eventually you'll argue with, and lose them too. And then you're going to make another account ....and do it all over again .

Prolly just like youve done on other sites and ended up so blocked it got boring..

Im done with your ego sugah.

Believe whatever your ego needs you to believe . Idc

@OogieBoogie if that's genuinely the level you work at then I'll step past my self imposed limit. Read back this exchange as a mirror. Your inability to accept a reasonable challenge to your vacuous opinions shows you to be unintelligent, emotionally and intellectually frail and, frankly, pretty nasty and spiteful when someone dares question your empty headed bullshit. If calling out empty headed waffle like yours leaves me lonely then my loneliness will be of far greater value than friendships built on empty platitudes. Really have a look at yourself, for all your self assured morality you're a really spiteful creature when questioned
