Good & Evil?

You often get lost in the details. People don't eat food to just survive, nature makes it taste "good" also, so we'll comply. Just because there are some varieties that don't taste good doesn't mean my generalization is unmerited. Kind of like how procreation feels "good" in order for us to desire intercourse to propagate.

I may get lost in the details but you get lost in assumptions. Nature can't make it taste good. Nature has no purpose (so far). Also the food could've co-evolved with animals or been selectively chosen. Does procreation feel "good" because we propagate or do we propagate because it feels "good?" I'll be waiting on the evidence of this.

I think you're confusing that particular moral terminology for legalities based on social order and conformity.

Are you sure "good & evil" aren't based on self awareness, free will and choice? Animals aren't self aware enough to make decisions based on greed beyond instinct. Whereas humans make decisions based on indulgence rather than simple preservation.

I'm well aware. Morality is often falsely based on social order and conformity. If "good" and "evil" were about free will and choice, why would they exist? They're there to describe behavior worthy of reward / punishment. Behavior doesn't need either, it can just be. Humans make decision on indulgence but society selectively permits indulgences based on their determined value.

"That is the most ridiculous answers?" You confused singular / plural, grip. Anyway:

Uh, yes, you can the law. Laws are changed all the time. That as plain a fact as a fact can be.

I guess I agree you can change the law. But you can't change the law practically.

We've already been over this. Individuals do decide. Each of us makes our own decisions. Society decides what the consequence of those decisions will be.

Ay, there in lies the rub. Society decides for the individual. Should not the individual decide for the individual?

This has been an exhaustively stupid exchange. You use abstract ideology backed by incorrect assumptions, the very thing you accuse of others. Then you speckle your assumptions with some obscure terminology and rude demeanor in an attempt to appear as an over educated, pseudo intellectual. TPD has been tearing your comments apart with logic and reason and you don't even know it because you can't see the forest thru the trees.

I don't understand the basic concept? I understand arrogance and that's more than you.

What obscure terminology? Rude demeanor? I think you are confusing my lack of caring about you for a rude demeanor.
