I believe it's a morality thing.

behind this is the question of morality,I think.

yeah, it presupposes that peoples motivations are based in morality.

What drives your decision if not morality?

Well now you're talking about morality. I honestly had no idea that that's what you were referring to in your post.

jrs99 | karma 706 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2013-11-23 22:00:38+00:00

i disagree. i think there's some morality hard-wired in most people.

I don’t know how I feel about the ‘moral’ aspect of the practice, but I can be almost certain you are correct.

Does morality come into this?

dTal | karma 17131 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2022-01-10 14:47:15

It sounds to me like you don't believe in morality in general at all. Assuming I'm wrong - what is morality to you?

raymond_goo | karma 163 | avg karma 1.73 · | 2019-10-31 10:31:51

No, it's about (being consistent with one's own) morality.

tptacek | karma 394296 | avg karma 6.04 · | 2014-01-07 04:28:03+00:00

Moral.

jamesrcole | karma 2386 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2014-12-12 08:28:52+00:00

I think it's because people like to moralise.

rustcleaner | karma 244 | avg karma 0.72 · | 2024-01-10 17:50:52

Ah, moralism.

badrabbit | karma 7868 | avg karma 1.33 · | 2020-08-30 20:42:37+00:00

Morality is rooted in authority.

raganwald | karma 45001 | avg karma 9.17 · | 2012-02-23 21:22:38+00:00

Or to put it in a word, they have “morals.” And when they talk about it, they are ”moralizing.”

dhume | karma 222 | avg karma 2.06 · | 2010-04-12 12:51:22+00:00

I think some of it comes from confounding a moral system (i.e. a system for evaluating the morality of an action) with a system which acts in a morally correct manner.

jacoblyles | karma 8837 | avg karma 4.58 · | 2009-02-21 16:37:29+00:00

For some value of morality.

lagadu | karma 2786 | avg karma 2.68 · | 2019-08-20 12:18:54+00:00

Plus morality is highly subjective and beliefs on what is moral varies by individual.

jack-r-abbit | karma 3347 | avg karma 1.8 · | 2012-09-06 16:31:43+00:00

ah... morality. How we all like to think ours is the one.
