what can you use for the absolute basis

I'm in a situation where I can't tell if what I'm doing is intrinsically wrong

Well, if you're using linear operators, the two vector spaces should have the same basis.

So with just a few matrix equations and maybe an iterative method you should be able to get this. Don't be surprised if the answer is 42.

What I mean to ask is where do right and wrong come from

4/7/2008 10:33:23 PM

culture

chances are if you're asking this question

it's wrong.




where's it come from? a combination of higher law, cultural norms, and intrinsic values.

right and wrong come from the thousands of years of people making mistakes. The right way to do something comes from finding out that a other ways are wrong.

There is no absolute basis. You just need to figure out what your goals and desires are.

what if my desire is morally wrong?

4/8/2008 12:13:00 AM

Blog on TWW about it?

I believe in God, so I'm worried about that aspect, but what if the people around me seem to not feel the same way

4/8/2008 12:23:48 AM

flip a coin and let chance take it from there.

Use your brain and figure out what is good to you (long-term). I don't know about you, but my values don't require the validation of others, men or gods.

If you believe God's word is just, then that should be your first basis.

are you hurting or adversely affecting anyone else, physically or mentally?

4/8/2008 7:42:29 AM

It comes from the rules of the system you are in

if you believe God's word is just, then you should have no problem (nea, you should feel obligated to) killing, preferably by stoning to death, adulterers, thiefs, non-Christians and gay people.

Easy. If the Democrats are for it it's bad. If the Republicans are for it it's also bad.

If that doesn't answer it for you, odds are nobody here is going to be able to help you. (Unless you buy into the whole "it's only wrong if you get caught" theory)

Oh God, this faggot is bringing this bullshit about him fucking his ex-gf in The Soap box too?

Look you little pussy, nobody cares. Everyone has fucked their ex-gf while dating the new chick. Your case isn't special. Quit making all these stupid fucking threads about it. You are the biggest pussy that has ever posted on TWW.

If you are committing genocide, I think we can all agree it is intrinsically wrong.
