i believe society would quickly collapse due to people no longer agreeing on moral principles — christian2017
There would probably be a new society in its place with a new order. We may not like it but it would be real. Could we still call Nazi Germany a society? — Brett
Hardened (keyword hardened) poor people tend to reject touchy feely things like post modernism. Blue collar people although very often severely flawed tend to reject post modernism (that last sentence is my opinion so don't request an article supporting that last sentence).
A new society very often forms from people who just previously went through calamity and thus i would call them hardened poor. — christian2017
A new society very often forms from people who just previously went through calamity and thus i would call them hardened poor. Lets not get carried away arguing about the term i chose. Perhaps you have a better term or label to use for this discussion. — christian2017
If Post Modernism was correct, i feel that there would be no real lasting basis for ethical conduct and morality. Lets say we some how proved that post modernism is the logically correct, i believe society would quickly collapse due to people no longer agreeing on moral principles. — christian2017

What is the real lasting basis for morality that the widespread materialism offers? In that philosophy you're gonna die, everyone is gonna die, there is nothing after death, while you live you are an aggregate of particles that obeys unchanging laws, your thoughts and feelings are determined by these laws, what moral basis does this view possibly offer?
What is it that prevents most people from going around killing others? Themselves. There is not some higher agreed upon principle that's stopping them, they simply don't want to do it. — leo
Excessive drugs have problems, extreme sexual perversion has problems (not homsexuality but extreme sexual perversion), offending others is something everyone does even sometimes when we say nothing at all (life is extremely complicated). — christian2017

Excessive insistance on moral codes has problems too. If you force others to abide by moral rules, that's oppression, it could even be tyranny, and many people wouldn't agree to a set of moral codes in which oppression is morally acceptable. In my view ultimately it is the will of people that is responsible for how the world is, not the existence or non-existence of agreed upon moral codes. — leo
i disagree with your logic path. People have always agreed on moral principles to some degree. This is based on a historical perspective. — christian2017
Is pedaphilia wrong? — christian2017
Not a conversation I'd ever do online, because it's impossible to discuss it rationally. — Terrapin Station
s pedaphilia wrong? — christian2017
terrible. its a fairly common belief that its wrong. Forgive yourself and move on with your life. That was a terrible response on your part. Whatever we have done wrong we should forgive ourselves and try to do better next time. — christian2017
How do you quantify a ton of disagreement. — christian2017
No. Tyranny can also be when war lords rise up due to a power vacuum caused by a corrupt society that isn't willing to be tamed to some measure. Standards are very often a good thing. War lords don't care about wishy washy touchy feely viewpoints of spoiled brats, they seize opportunities regardless of people's philosophical viewpoints. — christian2017
i asked you if pedaphilia was ok. See above posts. You are disgusting. I don't care if this gets me kicked off this site. Can i steal a million dollars from you? Your answer is no. Why the emotional response? — christian2017

This doesn't relate to you because it deals with a conversation i had with someone else. I'm done with this site for a while. Some things are just completely unacceptable. Have a good day Leo. — christian2017
