What do you think you would do if you had no morality?

[El Jefe]

ok. didnt realise that.

Hitler believed that a vegetarian diet could both alleviate his personal health problems and spiritually regenerate the human race.[5] In spite of these beliefs, reports state that Hitler occasionally ate meat during the 1930s

sounds like he still had moral ideas regarding it and the regeneration of humanity.

anyway, it was only a side point. hitler still had a sense of morality

I see your quote and raise you

Robert Payne is widely considered to be Hitler's definitive biographer. In his book, Hitler: The Life and Death of Adolph Hitler, Payne says that Hitler's "vegetarianism" was a "legend" and a "fiction" invented by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda. According to Payne:

"Hitler's asceticism played an important part in the image he projected over Germany. According to the widely believed legend, he neither smoked nor drank, nor did he eat meat or have anything to do with women. Only the first was true. He drank beer and diluted wine frequently, had a special fondness for Bavarian sausages and kept a mistress, Eva Braun… His asceticism was fiction invented by Goebbels to emphasize his total dedication, his self-control, the distance that separated him from other men. By this outward show of asceticism, he could claim that he was dedicated to the service of his people. In fact he was remarkably self-indulgent and possessed none of the instincts of the ascetic."

I'd kill you in the face.

lol

 

[bluestreak]

he was even morally opposed to eating meat.

Why do people keep repeating this piece of crap?

 

[fractionMan]

Hitler did what he did because of his morals. Therefore, morals are bad.

double lol

Has it come to this?

Hitler did what he did because of his morals. Therefore, morals are bad.

i dont think morals are wrong, that would suggest i had a moral opinion about them.

im amoral

 

[bluestreak]

Sounds like you're asking about anti-social personality disorder (lack of empathy). People with anti-social pd tend to treat others as objects to be used rather than human beings, probably as a result of severe emotional neglect as children.

Also this, seeing as I got ahead of the thread and leapt the moron hitler quote.

note also that many see morals and ethics as different but linked. i think some of this stuff is covered by ethics more than morality.

 

[Detroit City]

I would do anything and everything

 

[El Jefe]

im amoral

No.

You're atit

 

[bluestreak]

i dont think morals are wrong, that would suggest i had a moral opinion about them.

im amoral

really? would you rape or murder?

Sure you are. Everything is permitted.

 

[Dillinger4]

im amoral

Nah just clueless.

 

[i-am-your-idea]

really? would you rape or murder?

i cant know for certain what i will do in the future. i dont think i have so far

 

[i-am-your-idea]

really? would you rape or murder?

do you think murder is always wrong?

 

[El Jefe]

Oh jesus, it's like mini-Max

 

[Blagsta]

do you think murder is always wrong?

You've been diagnosed with a cluster B personality disorder?

 

[Dillinger4]

It was like hearing Max's echo on the epistemology thread.

I didn't think it could get any more clueless, but it did.

 

[bodach]

You've been diagnosed with a cluster B personality disorder?

And the ACDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ones as well.

 

[milkymoo]

lol at this thread

 

[bodach]

Because nothing exists.

Nice one.

 

[quimcunx]

cheat on the 100 thread. Unfortunately I'm too pure.

 

[bluestreak]

do you think murder is always wrong?

Answer my question first, properly and like a grown up rather than like someone whose just discovered sophistry. Then you'll get an answer.

 

[i-am-your-idea]

lol

 

[i-am-your-idea]

i dont think i would murder anyone.

i dont see murder as morally wrong, and i can easily imagine a situation where i might be compelled to kill someone.

i dont think people have free will, so it naturally follows that mankind is innocent.

 

[bluestreak]

Right.

What about rape?

 

[The Groke]

I would become a pacific rim people smuggler

I would become a pacific people rimmer

 

[Santino]

If I had no morals I would probably act much the same as I do now, on the basis that it makes for a quiet life. Committing crimes and other outrages is very demanding on one's time and energy.

 

[revol68]

It is impossible not to have morality, even amorality is itself a moral position.

 

[selamlar]

Personally i think morality is rubbish. Amorality is waaay cooler but thats a result of me not believing in free will..

so for all you free-willers out there, how do you imagine you would behave if you had no sense of right or wrong?

and what is your basis for believing this?

If you don't believe in free will, how can you discuss morality to begin with? Assuming that you have not managed to conflate immorality and amorality, that is.

My ideas are usually better than this.

 

[Jonti]

Why do people keep repeating this piece of crap?

My guess: because they know nothing.

 

[revol68]

Is I-am-your-idea a joke?
